Former Trump adviser Roger Stone claimed on Wednesday that North Korea had interfered in the U.S. presidential election. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump continued to assert that fraudulent activity was prevalent during the November election.
Stone, who has previously spoken of his respect for some members of the QAnon conspiracy theory movement, was sentenced to 40 months in prison for lying to investigators in connection with the Mueller probe into Russian election meddling during Trump's 2016 campaign. Trump commuted Stone's sentence in July.
With the Electoral College expected to meet on December 14, Trump has intensified his claims of widespread election fraud. Democrat President-elect Joe Biden was widely projected to be the winner of the election despite Trump's protestations. During an interview on The Alex Jones Show, Stone said he had received further proof of election fraud.
"I just learned of absolute incontrovertible evidence of North Korean boats delivering ballots through a harbor in Maine, the state of Maine," Stone said. "If this checks out, if law enforcement looked into that and it turned out to be true, it would be proof of foreign involvement in the election."
Newsweek reached out to the Maine Bureau of Corporations, Elections and Commissions for comment.
Well, if it was on Alex Jones it must be true, right?

Don’t laugh it’s true. The missing detail is that the ballots were for the 2016 election. TheNorth Korean boat was commissioned by Russia but the boat was nearly swamped in a storm on Nov 1, 2016 and the engine failed. It’s a story of heroism and survival and after four years of being adrift it was only the determination of the mighty crew that they sailed into port in Maine a few weeks ago.

This reminds me of a point that Charles Cook, editor of National Review Online, made regarding the infamous RNC presser with Rudy, Powell, and Ellis.
He said that’s when it really ended. Prior to that many Republicans thought “gee, maybe there’s something to the election fraud stuff”. But then Powell tied in Chavez and Cuba and Venezuela etc and the sane Republicans said “so that’s where this is going? Sorry, this is where I get off.”

Roger Stone must have a very low opinion of the intelligence and/or gullibility of his listeners.
