Gov. Candidate and Trump Chairman on Undocumented Immigrants: “We will kick their asses out of the country”


by Democratic Party of Virginia

Last week, gubernatorial candidate and Virginia Trump Chairman Corey Stewart went on an offensive Facebook rant about undocumented immigrants, saying that if elected governor, "we will kick their asses out of the country, just like we did in Prince William County." 
 
“Virginia’s economy is stronger because of our commonwealth’s diversity. It’s shocking that Virginia Republicans continue to be silent on the racist remarks of Donald Trump and Corey Stewart.” - Emily Bolton, Democratic Party of Virginia.

Republicans will choose a gubernatorial candidate through a convention. Conventions in Virginia have historically produced far right candidates, and Ken Cuccinelli's refusal to enter the race has opened the door for a conservative to compete for the nomination. 
 
 
Time to put our foot down. These hoodlums attacked Trump supporters because they don't like our views. These Trump supporters could have been you or your family. Are we going to tolerate this? If you tolerate thuggery, you will get more of it.
 
When I am governor, thugs like these will be apprehended and, if they are illegal, we will kick their asses out of the country, just like we did in Prince William County.
