Roger Stone, a former adviser to President Trump, lost an invitation to speak at a Florida Republican group's annual dinner due to negative remarks he made about former first lady Barbara Bush. 
The Okaloosa Republican Executive Committee "uninvited" Stone over comments he made to the right-wing conspiratorial website InfoWars about Bush, who died Tuesday. 
"I understand I'm going to take a lot of crap for speaking the truth about Barbara Bush," Stone said in an interview with InfoWars host Alex Jones. "She was a mean-spirited, vindictive drunk. She is ascending into hell right now. She's not going to heaven. She was a bad person." 
Stone also reportedly wrote on Instagram that "Barbara Bush drank so much booze, if they cremated her … her body would burn for three days."
Stone was slated to be the keynote speaker for the group's Lincoln Reagan Day Dinner on May 12, but chairman Mark Franks said that in light of his comments, he "ended our contract" with Stone. 
"It’s tough to lose a speaker when you’re three weeks out, but this is what I felt needed to be done out of respect for Barbara Bush," Franks told the Northwest Florida Daily News. "I thought he’d be entertaining, but for me this went over the line."

"She is ascending into hell right now."

Well no wonder conservatives tend to get so confused about the way they should act.

Its like they thought they could just say whatever they wanted and get away with it like Trump but fortunately there's still some common sense

Considering the fact that Stone probably is going to be dragged into the Trump-Russia shitstorm sooner or later, pissing off the right-wing establishment isn't going to help him at all. He's going to need those bridges he's burning.

what an absolutely dickheaded thing to say

Well guess we know what kind of drunk Roger Stone is now.

[Zero-Point]

The guy's like 24 flavors of douchebag rolled into one sack of shit.

Clearly he has some complex Gnostic beliefs. He probably identifies the Christian God as the evil Demiurge who trapped all of our spirits into this imperfect physical realm. That would explain why he's been working politically to attempt to hasten the apocalypse, so we can all be free of this mundane mortal realm.

Truely a man who deserves as much power and access to our government as possible. Thankfully he's still best buds with El Presitrumpe

I don't know how these people sleep at night, but then given their lack of morals or humanity, probably pretty good.
