GOP Senate Nominee Corey Stewart's Ties to White Supremacists Run Deeper Than Previously Reported

While Corey Stewart recently disavowed alt-right figure Paul Nehlen and claimed he was not aware of his racist views when he called him his “personal hero,” the Republican Senate nominee’s ties to white supremacists go much deeper than just Nehlen.

Stewart, a member of the Prince William County Board of Supervisors who won the GOP nomination in the Virginia Senate race and received an endorsement from President Donald Trump, held a rally in 2017 with numerous white supremacist activists, has been pictured with racists all over the state of Virginia, and paid a white supremacist family for “fieldwork consulting” and used them as his “bodyguards” while campaigning.

According to information published by the campaign finance transparency initiative VPAP, Stewart’s campaign paid Donna Randall, a neo-Confederate activist who said she attended the white supremacist Unite the Right rally, $50 for “fieldwork consulting” during his failed 2017 gubernatorial run. While it is unclear what consulting work Randall conducted on behalf of the Stewart campaign, her ties to the white supremacist movement are very clear, as she attends neo-Confederate events with her husband George Randall, who is associated with the racist, “southern nationalist” League of the South and was spotted at the Unite the Right rally marching alongside former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke.

The Stewart campaign and the Randalls were contacted by Mediaite for comment, but did not respond in time for publication.

This is a big story at Mediate, many, many pics of Stewart and the racists. I think the article may be the biggest and longest article I've ever seen published by Mediate. -- Don
