Stone denied using the word on the air, telling O’Kelly, “you’re out of your mind.”In a statement emailed to The Washington Post on Sunday, Stone suggested it was O’Kelly’s “studio engineer” who used the word. AD“The transmission as I recorded it is both garbled and replete with cross talk,” Stone said. O’Kelly needs a good peroxide cleaning of the wax in his ears because at no time did I call him a negro. “You’re out of your mind.”Stone had bristled at O’Kelly’s account of his trial in Washington federal court last year. In 2012, he tweeted that prominent African American television commentator Roland Martin, is “a stupid negro.”Stone has said he regretted the comment.
