A GUY IS RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR IN VIRGINIA, HIS NAME IS COREY
STEWART, HE'S A REPUBLICAN, AND HE LOVES HIS CIVIL WAR MEMORIALS
IN THE SOUTH.
HE'S VERY UPSET THAT NEW ORLEANS WILL TAKE ONE
OF THOSE DOWN.
A LITTLE BIT OF A PROBLEM, THAT STATUE CELEBRATE
PEOPLE WHO BASICALLY WENT AGAINST MULTIRACIAL HEALING AND
WANTED TO PUT WHITE PEOPLE BACK IN CHARGE.
I'M BEING AWFULLY
KIND WITH THAT DESCRIPTION.
THE CIVIL WAR MEMORIALS A LOT OF
TIMES ARE FOUR GENERALS WHO FOUGHT IN THE CIVIL WAR ON THE
SOUTHERN SIDE, THAT WOULD BE THE SIDE THAT COMMITTED TREASON
AGAINST THE UNITED STATES, THE TRAITORS.
THE PEOPLE WHO LEAD US
INTO A WAR THAT COST HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF AMERICAN LIVES.
YOU
CAN'T GET A BIGGER TRAITOR TO AMERICA THAN STARTING A WAR
AGAINST AMERICA, SO OBVIOUSLY COREY STEWART IS DEEPLY
UN-AMERICAN.
SO LET ME TELL YOU WHAT HE SAYS --
COREY, I WOULD ARGUE THERE IS SOMETHING LIGHTLY WORSE, THAT IS
MONUMENTS CELEBRATING THE PEOPLE WHO TRY TO PROTECT SLAVERY.
I
WOULD ARGUE SLAVERY IS WORSE, I WOULD ARGUE WHEN YOUR SIDE
COMMITTED TREASON AGAINST THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, THAT
WAS WORSE.
I WOULD ARGUE STILL AFTER HUNDREDS OF YEARS
SUPPORTING TRAITORS -- AND WHY DID THEY GO TO THAT WAR, AND
KILL ALL THOSE PEOPLE?
THEY STILL CALL IT PROPERTY RIGHTS.
NO, IT'S NOT ABOUT SLAVERY, IT'S ABOUT STATES' RIGHTS.
TO DO
WHAT?
OWN SLAVES.
BUT IT'S NOT ABOUT SLAVERY, IT'S ABOUT
PROPERTY RIGHTS.
WHICH PROPERTY?
THE HUMAN BEINGS I HAD FOR
PROPERTY CALLED SLAVES.
IT'S ABOUT SLAVERY, COREY.
I WOULD
ARGUE THAT'S WORSE THAN TAKING DOWN YOUR STUPID MONUMENT TO
TRAITORS WHO COMMITTED TREASON AGAINST AMERICA.
I LOVE AMERICA,
THAT'S WHY WE HAVE AN AMERICAN FLAG.
COREY, APPARENTLY YOU
DON'T, YOU SHOULD LOOK INTO IT.
WHEN THIS CAME ABOUT, THE GOOD
FOLKS THERE EXPLAIN HERE AT MEDIAITE THAT --
YAY, WHITE UPRISINGS TO LYNCH
PEOPLE WHO ARE OF THE OPPOSITE
RACE.
AW, NOTHING WORSE THAN A YANKEE TELLING A SOUTHERNER TO
TAKE DOWN HIS MONUMENTS WHEN WE WENT AROUND LYNCHING BLACK
PEOPLE BECAUSE WE WANTED TO OWN THEM.
NOTHING WORSE, YOU KNOW
WHAT I'M SAYING?
THERE ARE MANY THINGS WORSE, INCLUDING YOU,
COREY STEWART.
HERE IS ANOTHER TWEET BY HIM, UNABASHED --
YEAH, THAT'S JUST THE BEGINNING.
THAT THE GUY WHO
STARTED THE CIVIL WAR, BY THE WAY.
HE'S THE CONFEDERATE
MILITARY OFFICER THAT ORDERED FIRING ON FORT SUMTER AND
STARTED THE WAR.
THAT WAS NORTHERN AGGRESSION, HAVING A
BASE HERE IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
SOUTH CAROLINA WAS PART OF THE
UNITED STATES, OF COURSE THE UNITED STATES MILITARY WOULD'VE
HAD A BASE THERE.
YOU GUYS ARE THE ONES WHO SECEDED.
AND WE
STILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT CHUNK OF THE POPULATION WHO ARE STILL
DEFENDING THE SOUTHERN WAR OF TREASON AGAINST AMERICA.
THEY
SAY CENK, THAT'S NOT FAIR, THEY HAD TO FIRE ON AMERICA, THEY HAD
TO COMMIT TREASON, BECAUSE IT WAS THE RIGHT TO SECEDE.
DON'T
CALL YOURSELF AN AMERICAN.
YOU WANT TO CALL YOURSELF SOMETHING
ELSE, A CONFEDERATE, YOU ARE PROUD OF YOUR SLAVEOWNING
HERITAGE AND THE DEEPLY RACIST CULTURE THAT USED TO EXIST IN
THE SOUTH -- AND APPARENTLY STILL EXISTS TO THIS DAY BECAUSE
YOU STILL DEFEND IT -- CALL YOURSELF SOMETHING ELSE, CALL
YOURSELF A TRAITOR, BUT YOU ARE NOT AN AMERICAN IF YOU REBEL
AGAINST AMERICA, IF YOU COMMIT TREASON AGAINST AMERICA, AND YOU
LITERALLY GO TO WAR AND KILL AMERICANS.
YOU ARE NOT AN
AMERICAN, IF THAT'S THE ARGUMENT YOU ARE MAKING.
SO TAKE OFF YOUR
AMERICAN FLAGS -- JUST OWN IT.
OWN IT, SAY YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT,
WE LOVED THE RACISM BACK IN THE DAY, WE WISH IT WAS STILL THE
CASE, THE MONUMENTS TO THE RACISM WE LOVE, WE ARE NOT
REALLY AMERICANS, WE ARE THIS COUNTRY THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A
CRAPPY COUNTRY IF WE HAD SUCCEEDED IN SECEDING, WE WOULD
HAVE BEEN PATHETIC LOSERS, A LOT OF THE SOUTH NOW, SOME OF THE
POOREST, WORST OFF STATES IN THE COUNTRY.
YOU ARE ALL BACK IN THE
COUNTRY, I DON'T WANT YOU TO GO IN THAT DIRECTION, I WANT
MISSISSIPPI AND ALABAMA TO BE THE BEST STATES IN THE COUNTRY,
I THINK WE CAN HELP YOU GET THERE, BUT YOU HAVE TO DO SOME
PROGRESS INSTEAD OF CLINGING ONTO THE PAST.
AND THIS GUY IS
FROM VIRGINIA.
NO, DON'T TAKE DOWN MY MONUMENT, NOTHING WORSE
THAN A YANKEE -- YANKEE?
WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
I
WANT TO HELP THEM GET TO THE FUTURE, HELP THEIR CITIZENS, I
WANT TO MAKE VIRGINIA BETTER, MISSISSIPPI, ALABAMA, SOUTH
CAROLINA, THE ENTIRE SOUTH BETTER.
BUT THESE GUYS ARE
STANDING IN THE WAY BECAUSE THEY THINK THE OLD, BACKWARDS WAYS
WHERE THE RIGHT WAYS.
THEY THINK IT WAS A GREAT IDEA THAT THE
SOUTH DECLARED WAR AGAINST THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
I
THINK IT WAS A TERRIBLE IDEA.
COREY STEWART SHOULD NEVER BE
ELECTED, NOT EVEN DOGCATCHER.
HE CAN BE ELECTED SOME SORT OF KLAN
OFFICIAL, YOU WANT TO BE A GRAND WIZARD, HAVE AT IT, COREY
STEWART.
