People Are Slamming This Politician for Saying There's Nothing Worse Than Being Told Confederate Monuments Don't Matter
Hey, Corey Stewart, we're pretty sure slavery is worse.
The city of New Orleans removed a confederate statue that originally had "white supremacy in the South" on its first inscription. Although many people were happy to see the statue removed on Monday, one politician was deeply disturbed to see the confederate monument come down.
Corey Stewart — who is currently running for governor in Virginia — took a page out of the president’s book and went on a Twitter tantrum about the monument.
Stewart started by equating the removal of the monuments to ISIS level terrorism
Stewart then found a way to attack liberals and political correctness, even though neither has anything to do with the removed monuments
Then he switched back to his method of conflating liberals and ISIS
Although most of his tweets were viewed as ridiculous, it was his tweet about "Yankees" condemning the confederacy that pushed people over the edge
Perhaps Stewart forgot about that one tiny thing that happened, the same thing that led to the creation of the confederacy
Hundreds of people, including John Legend, questioned Stewart's egregious statement
Others dragged Stewart for co-opting southern pride when he is from Minnesota
Stewart's tweets perfectly set everyone up to roast him to death
To review: nothing is worse than a Southerner by way of Minnesota pretending the confederacy represents true American values
