This is Roger Stone, in just a few short days, my friend Mike Lindell is going to unveil his new social media platform. It s called Frank. And it ll be different because Conservatives, Republicans, Christians, Libertarians and just free-thinkers will not be censored or banned, in fact, no one will.

He loves getting sued for $US1.3 ($2) billion for refusing to stop spreading those defamatory theories. He was a relentless tweeter, until Twitter banned him.
