Now that Corey Stewart has secured the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in Virginia, we think it’s important that everyone knows who he is and what he stands for. 1/ 
As Chairman of the Prince William County Board of Supervisors, he pushed policies instituting racial profiling of immigrants in the county. wapo.st/2sWtgNt 2/
“Soon after he was elected in Prince William a decade ago, he incited a racially charged tempest by pushing legislation to allow the police to inquire about the immigration status of anyone they stopped, for any reason — carte blanche for racial profiling." 3/
"Eventually it was relaxed to apply only once an arrest was made, but not before Mr. Stewart had dragged the county through a poisonous culture war.” wapo.st/2JA1b9b 4/
While campaigning in support of Roy Moore last December, he continued to push long debunked birther claims in an attempt to discredit a woman accusing Moore of sexual misconduct. bit.ly/2B5Z2Nu 5/
During the 2018 session of the Virginia General Assembly, “Stewart led an event outside the Virginia State Capitol where he held up rolls of toilet paper and called Republicans who voted for the measure to expand Medicaid "flaccid" and "garbage" 6/
When asked to clarify his comments by the Richmond Times-Dispatch, Stewart replied, "I’m suggesting I feel sorry for their wives." bit.ly/2DZcTCB 7/
When Richard Spencer and his group of white supremacists came to Charlottesville in May of 2017, setting the stage for the August 11th and 12th, Stewart’s response was to attack the African-American Vice Mayor of Charlottesville. bit.ly/2qLbBJ3 8/
After making several appearances with Jason Kessler (the organizer of the August 12th rally in Charlottesville), Stewart said white nationalists had been unfairly singled out for their role in the events of August 12th. wapo.st/2JIkh97 9/
In contrast to the millions of Americans that have been pushing for common sense regulations on gun sales, Stewart compared restrictions on firearms to castration. wapo.st/2LPY8q7 10/
His primary opponent this year said that Stewart is engaging in “dog-whistling of White supremacists, anti-Semites, and racists.” He added, “This pattern of behavior is especially disqualifying for a candidate seeking higher office.” bit.ly/2M4USrA 11/
In Charlottesville, our members have found a home away from home. For the Republican Party of Virginia to nominate a proud racist who thinks that white supremacists were unfairly blamed for the events of August 11th and 12th is a disgrace.
