  • A photograph purportedly showing Roger Stone — an American political consultant known for spreading various far-fetched political conspiracy theories — with a tattoo of former President Richard Nixon on his back has been circulating online for several years: The image received renewed attention in March 2017, when it was mentioned in a New York Times article about the longtime GOP operative and his possible ties to Russia: The picture is real and was captured by photographer Platon and was featured for a profile of the GOP operative published by The New Yorker in 2008: A second image of Stone's tattoo also frequently circulates on social media: This latter photograph was originally published in an October 2016 Newsweek profile of Stone, which reporter Nina Burleigh acknowledged she had wanted to undertake give her a chance to photograph his infamous tattoo: Stone also confirmed that the tattoo was real in a Twitter post: Although Roger Stone's Richard Nixon tattoo may be well-known in some circles, those unfamiliar with the political consultant are usually surprised to find out that he has the face of the 37th president tattooed on his back. Stone told MSNBC's Chris Hayes that he admired Nixon's resilience and that the tattoo was a daily reminder that when you get knocked down, when things don`t go your way, when you`re defeated, you got to get up and fight again. It`s simply that. (en)
