In the Old Dominion Republican gubernatorial candidate and Prince William County Supervisors Chairman Corey Stewart is being attacked in the liberal mainstream media over his strident defense of Confederate monuments. Independent Journal Review writes:
[O]ne gubernatorial candidate named Corey Stewart is trying to make a stand against this trend. Taking a page out of the Trump campaign book, Stewart has been tweeting about the situation in New Orleans seemingly nonstop….
Stewart, who is originally from Minnesota — not Virginia, has seriously picked up some Southern pride while on the campaign trail.
…If you’ve glanced at Stewart’s Twitter account at all, you’ll notice that he really, really, really, wants you to know that he loves the Confederate flag and monuments that honor their leaders and generals.
His stand for Dixie cost him the endorsement of Prince William County’s Black Republican sheriff. Nearly the entire GOP establishment is now against him. He responded, “I don’t care if it wins me support or if I lose support. Defending history is the right thing to do.”
Stewart led a crackdown on illegal immigrants which sparked protests from Left-wing activists and foreigners. The crackdown led to a sharp decline in crime in his county.
He was also Donald Trump’s campaign manager for Virginia before being fired after leading protests against the GOP establishment – which he labeled “establishment pukes.”
The rebel gubernatorial candidate faces an uphill battle. He was at 12% in the polls earlier this month, though all the free press over his stand for Southern heritage may have shifted the numbers since then.

Living right under the Virginny/Carolina line, I was told by a neighbour that Stewart had announcet his run for governor in Confederate uniform!
Right then and there, I thought to myself – this campaign is going to get a billion dollars of free publicity.
Will he know how to exploit it, like Trump did?
We’ll see.

The semantick, ‘history’, has become the modern Confederate’s code for, ‘The Southern White Race.’
Personally, I prefer,’ The Southern White Race’, though, if he said this, he would never have a chance.
I know this because I do say the phrase, ‘Southern White Race’, amongst The Southern White Race, and you can often read the shock on their faces.
Oh, what troubled times they are…
COREY STEWART was interested in Civil War history before his campaign began. It was Charlottesville that lead him to integrate it into conversation. That is when he realized there are thousands and thousands of Southerns and yes, others too, do not think it is okay to destroy our history. Corey also thinks it is shameful to attack our founding fathers. The sheriff and supervisors were solidly behind him until they decided to cower because of Soldier’s Flag. At least, COREY STEWART has the guts to stand up and fight for what he believes. Let’s drop the “flag” issue and look at his record in Prince William County. http://www.CoreyStewart.com He is the man that will take back Virginia
@ Donna Randall…
Good for you, Miss Donna! I’ve got my share of Confederate friends in Ole Dominion, and I’ll make sure that they are making the rounds for Mr. Stewart.
Yes, let’s take back Virginia!
Stand up to the scalawags!
“Establishment pukes”
COREY FOR PRESIDENT IN 2020
America BEGAN in Virginia. Maybe taking America BACK begins in Virginia too!
Ironic, a Yankee transplant standing up for Dixie. Will White Southerners support him over all other candidates?
