Here is the one hundred twenty-first article in our Republicans on Parade series, featuring individuals who personify what the Republican Party has become. Today\u2019s honoree is Republican white supremacist and Senate candidate, Corey Stewart from Virginia.  He is so honored for the Republican way he supports racist hatred of and violence against minorities.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"0605stewart\"With just a week to go until Virginia\u2019s Senate primary, GOP candidate Corey Stewart \u2014 a Prince William County supervisor and former Trump campaign chair<\/a> \u2014 is facing an explosive charge.<\/p>\n

On Monday, the conservative Daily Wire posted<\/a> footage originally uploaded to Stewart\u2019s YouTube account in February 2017, showing him celebrating with Wisconsin congressional candidate Paul Nehlen on inauguration night.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of my personal heroes, not from Virginia, but from the great state of Wisconsin, there is Paul Nehlen, who had a lot of courage and took on Speaker Ryan. And I can\u2019t tell you how much I was inspired by you,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

A self-described \u201cpro-white<\/a>\u201d candidate who has appeared on the podcast of Klan leader David Duke<\/a>, Nehlen has claimed<\/a> that \u201cthe Jews\u201d repeat the themes of \u201cpoop, incest, and pedophilia,\u201d mocked the Holocaust<\/a>, and posted<\/a> lengthy lists of his critics complete with personal information, noting (incorrectly<\/a>) that \u201c74 are Jews.\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026Stewart supports<\/a> flying the Confederate flag, wants to prosecute<\/a> local officials who don\u2019t racially profile Latinos, and has implied Republicans who support expanding Medicaid have erectile dysfunction<\/a>. And, in addition to Nehlen, Stewart has appeared in public<\/a> with Jason Kessler, the neo-Nazi leader who organized last year\u2019s violent demonstrations in Charlottesville<\/a>…<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
