Stone’s vow to help marshal the forces of pissed-off Trump fans and direct them to the hotel rooms of anti-Trump delegates was widely interpreted as a clear intimidation tactic and a threat of physical violence.

Team Trump does not, exactly, see it that way.

“This is not a threat of violence,” Trump surrogate Jeff DeWit said on CNN on Thursday, responding to the charge that “Donald Trump’s hitman Roger Stone [was]…threatening violence in Cleveland.”

“No one threatened violence,” DeWit continued. “That is not a threat of violence at all to say, ‘Hey, by the way, we’ll make sure we know how to get ahold of these people and everyone can go talk to these people.’”
