Roger Stone shared a photoshopped image on Instagram Tuesday showing himself, President Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, and others wearing “Space Force” suits with swastikas on them.
“I love this – proud to be in this crew – but the only lies being told are by liberal scumbags,” the photo, which also showed a swastika in the upper right corner, was captioned.

The picture in the now-deleted post also included Trump legal team member Rudy Giuliani, White house press secretary Sarah Sanders, Fox News host Sean Hannity, and Rep. Devin Nunes.
Stone offered an apology for the image Tuesday afternoon.
“I denounce Nazis, White Supremacists Klansmen and violent extremists of the left and right,” Stone told the Washington Examiner.
“Last night I posted an image attacking me and other supporters of the President that was sent to me by a hater. I did so to mock them . I did not notice the image had a swastika in the corner . When It was brought to my attention I deleted it – so u libtards who are frothing at the mouth can stop sending insulting comments will only get u blocked,” he said in a separate post on Instagram.
The controversial photo was shared as special counsel Robert Mueller appears to be zeroing in on Stone amid his investigation into Russia’s election interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Stone declared on Monday that he “wouldn’t rule out cooperating” with Mueller, but said “there is no circumstance in which” he will testify against Trump.
