Corey Stewart, Donald Trump's Favorite Nut Job
The first thing to understand about Corey Stewart, Virginia’s long-shot Republican Senate candidate and perhaps America’s purest political distillation of Donald Trump, is that he’s crazy. I found out when I sent a routine e-mail to his press office, in hopes of obtaining an event schedule. In the campaign version of dialing 411 and having the Verizon CEO pick up, an angry Stewart himself answered:
Rolling Stone has been the most misleading left-leaning publication we’ve worked with. Is there any good reason for us to cooperate with you?
Corey Stewart,
Stewart for U.S. Senate, Inc.
Politicians often get tough with the press, but even Donald Trump — whose former spokeswoman Hope Hicks was always cordial — never led off with “fuck you.”
As a Mini-Me version of the president, Stewart is running a key symbolic race against former Hillary Clinton running mate and establishment centerfold Tim Kaine. Stewart is perhaps also an answer to a question hanging over American politics: Will there be such a thing as Trumpism after Trump?
A jowly, anus-faced character in a crew cut who looks like a margarine-fattened version of Sean Spicer, Stewart is something like the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of the GOP — the vanguard of a clearly unwanted internal uprising.
