Ah, intra-GOP ratfucking is fun to watch sometimes:

Republican gubernatorial candidate Corey Stewart attacked his GOP primary rival Ed Gillespie in a new, Confederate-themed ad that included an altered newspaper headline the Gillespie campaign has denounced as blatantly false.

The one-minute ad — which the Stewart campaign said will cost in the “mid five digits” and run in an online video and on radio statewide — includes the same altered headline, meant to appear as if it was published by The Washington Post, that has already been pulled from Facebook after complaints by the Gillespie campaign.

“Gillespie: I’m OK with Charlottesville Taking Down the General Lee Monument” the headline reads in the video, a repeat of a fake headline circulated on Facebook by a conservative group called the Conservative Response Team, as first reported by The Associated Press.

Also, a Yankee invader like Corey Stewart with a wife who is an immigrant wants to protect Confederate statutes and fight illegal immigration.
