When a person must be Watch Fast & Furious 7 Onlinereminded that the United States enslaved and terrorized millions of black people for hundreds of years, that person has probably said something ignorant. Offensive, even. When that person is chairman of the Prince William County board of supervisors and wants to be governor of Virginia, that ignorance is a bit more ... notable.
Virginia gubernatorial candidate Corey Stewart, a Republican, sent a tweet on Monday that most would consider, at the very least, ill-advised.

The city also has plans to take down statues of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, and confederate generals Robert E. Lee and P.G.T. Beauregard.
"We will no longer allow the Confederacy to literally be put on a pedestal in the heart of our city," said New Orleans Mayor Mayor Mitch Landrieu.
Here's that tweet:

No, we don't know what "yankee" he's referring to and yes we've tried to contact the campaign to find out.
Stewart -- who, by the way, is from the so-far-north-it's-nearly-Canada state of Minnesota -- has a thing for the Confederacy. He recently attended a Confederate-themed ball and ... we'll just let Twitter take it from here, since lots of folks had ideas about what's worse than removing monuments to the Confederacy.
@CoreyStewartVA Like, literally, nothing? Nothing is worse?
