Mark Levin: On Second Thought …

On Wednesday, nationally syndicated radio host Mark Levin—a staunch supporter of U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) for president—unloaded on those who said they would never vote for Donald Trump, even if he was the eventual Republican nominee.

On Friday, however, he announced he was joining their ranks:

I’ve backed Cruz, and I’m going to continue to back Cruz, but here’s what I’m going to do. As a result of what the Trump supporters have attempted here, particularly Roger Stone, I am not voting for Donald Trump. Period.

And if anybody has a problem with that, Donald Trump, you can talk to Roger Stone. These bully, dirty tricks, Nixonian tactics, they’re only going to backfire. They’re only going to backfire. So, count me as #NeverTrump.

There’s been too much of this folks, way too much of this.

The references to Stone, a former campaign adviser to Trump, appear to be pointed at attributed comments reported by several mainstream media outlets that he has since attempted to correct. In the reported comments, it is implied Stone is advocating violence against delegates who do not vote for Trump.

Instead, as was reported by Breitbart and a few other outlets, Stone’s comments to a Philadelphia radio host were far less inflammatory:

We’re going to have protests, demonstrations. We will disclose the hotels and the room numbers of those delegates who are directly involved in the steal.

If you’re from Pennsylvania, we’ll tell you who the culprits are. We urge you to visit their hotel and find them. You have a right to discuss this, if you voted in the Pennsylvania primary, for example, and your votes are being disallowed.

Stone has been a frequent guest on radio and television programs, discussing his theory that Republican Party officials have plotted to “steal” the presidential nomination from Trump at a contested or brokered convention. In response, he is reportedly organizing a “Stop the Steal” rally during the Republican National Convention in Cleveland.
