A Trump ally’s attempt to pass off a Rod Stewart concert as a MAGA rally wasn’t exactly plain sailing
Despite being a natural lookalike for Judge Doom in Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Roger stone is no fictional villain – toon or otherwise.
The former Donald Trump campaign strategist was convicted of witness tampering, obstruction, and making false statements – so, despite a subsequent pardon courtesy of his buddy in the White House, he remains a real-life villain.
As the internet argued over whether the former President had pulled in a crowd of 80,000 for his Wildwood, New Jersey rally (Spoiler alert – he hadn’t), Stone shared an image to back up Trump’s claims.
Community Notes dropped the mic.
Conveniently, after being called out by the note and the press, Stone tried to pass off his post as a joke.
Whether we believe him or not, the internet had burns – and they weren’t going to let them go to waste.

I just can't with these people. If the turnout was so great they wouldn't need to use a fake picture from a Rod Stewart concert in Brazil. ♀️♀️♀️ pic.twitter.com/bbcxKU4B4a

People who believed that a photo posted by convicted felon Roger Stone of a Rod Stewart concert in Rio 30 years ago was a MAGA rally in New Jersey yesterday are still waiting for Mexico to reimburse US taxpayers $15 billion for Trump's wall. #VoteBlueToStopTheStupid #DemVoice1 pic.twitter.com/8TEFuLo0Cf

Today on the Roger Stone Show: How I humiliated myself faking the crowd size at Trump’s NJ rally by substituting a photo of a Rod Stewart concert at Copacabana to hide the fact that Trump drew a miserable handful, most of whom left when they realised they weren’t getting paid. https://t.co/ayH2rKxSVh
