VA Gov 2017: Corey Stewart Openly Embraces the Confederacy

Naturally, he would do that. To add to that, this is done every cycle at the Shad planking event, more so in the past http://www.styleweekly.com/richmond/why-virginias-decades-old-shad-planking-is-getting-a-political-reboot/Content?oid=2323071

I really think that people outside of VA really think that it's just one big NoVA. Once you go south of PW County or east of Richmond/Midlothian you're basically in Dixie-lite.

Reminds me of George Allen and Ted Turner having a grand old time in Gods and Generals to the BBF https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVeSKwM--1M

Stewart would fit right in.

I actually find the perceptions of VA to the be the reverse, actually. I have heard people in DC say Virginia as a whole is "too southern." Also when I mention my trips to Richmond, people seem quite surprised that Virginia has a capital with culture, major business, etc. Corey Stewart's racist antics are actually somewhat in line with what northeasterners imagine Virginia to be like, sadly.

A lot of Virginians would find the idea that NoVA or NJ have culture to be surprising as well.

^ this. NoVA vs. ReVA continues.
