Corey Stewart is the Republican chairman of the Prince William County Board of Supervisors in Virginia. He’s running for governor against Republican Ed Gillespie. The other day Stewart posted about his opponent on Reddit, calling Gillespie a “cuckservative.” Republican Willie Deutsch, a School Board Member, wants Stewart to disappear and never come back.
“The term is an accusation by the alt-right of being a race traitor because supporting tolerance and diversity means weakening the power of ‘white Americans’ (hence, cuckolding yourself),” Deutsch’s statement said. “Corey Stewart is explicitly wrapping himself in white nationalism and accusing Ed Gillespie of insufficiently prioritizing whites over other races.”
Stewart has a good answer for why he used that term and it totally doesn’t have to do with the fact that the term is closely tied to the strange psycho-sexual fears and desires of white supremacists that their wives have sex with black men and then force their white husbands into perverse humiliations for sexual satisfaction.
Stewart said he did indeed call Gillespie a “cuckservative” in one of his Reddit posts, but he said he disagrees with Deutsch’s and others' definition of the word. Stewart said he used the term to refer to a weak conservative, comparing it to RINO, or “Republican in name only.”
“A cuckservative is a false conservative or a fake conservative; someone who claims to be a conservative but isn’t,” Stewart added. “And that’s what Ed Gillespie is.”
In case you don’t know, and Stewart should definitely know, that is not what a “cuckservative” means. Stewart is no stranger to being totally batshit crazy. He was the asshat that tried to say that Hillary Clinton was the reason that police officers were ever killed, and he campaigned on the idea that people in Virginia needed to “defend” their “culture” and their “heritage.” I’m surprised he isn’t president, actually. In fact, Stewart was Trump’s Virginia campaign chairman until October when he took part in an ill-advised protest of the RNC headquarters in Virginia and got himself fired as a part of one of the many Trump campaign shake-ups.
“Former Virginia State Chairman Corey Stewart is no longer affiliated with the Donald J. Trump for President campaign,” said Trump’s deputy campaign manager, David Bossie, in a statement. “He is being replaced, effective immediately. Corey made this decision when he staged a stunt in front of the RNC without the knowledge or the approval of the Trump campaign.”
Stewart acknowledged that he was let go for supporting the rally in front of RNC headquarters in the District, which was aimed at warning the national party against abandoning Trump. He said he did not organize the rally but wholeheartedly backed it and helped spread the word about it.
He got “fired” from Trump’s campaign. These days that usually means you get to become an adviser to the president of the United States.
