He another piece of work. A "boys will be boys" apologist.

ETA: From the Richmond-Times Dispatch.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Corey Stewart was removed from his role as chairman of Donald J. Trump's presidential campaign in Virginia Monday for his role in an unauthorized protest outside the Republican National Committee headquarters in Washington.

John Fredericks, a conservative radio host and co-chair of Trump's Virginia campaign, confirmed Stewart's removal and said Stewart was specifically told not to move forward with the protest.

"He went ahead and went forward without our knowledge and without our approval," Fredericks said. "We're running a national campaign not a gubernatorial race."

Corey Stewart is an American politician who is the At-Large Chairman of the Prince William Board of County Supervisors in the Commonwealth of Virginia, where he represents over 450,000 residents. Stewart has a reputation as a fighter for conservative issues, most notably for his 2007 crackdown on illegal immigration, which drew national media attention. In December 2015, Donald Trump announced that he had selected Stewart to chair his presidential campaign in Virginia. In 2016, Stewart announced his intention to run for Governor of Virginia.

The day after the first debate I posted about his appearance on the powerful RW radio station can't find the link to my thread.

The host was nicely asking him about the debate and Stewart went off about how great Trump's performance was. Including his temperament. The host said he'd been trying all morning to find something positive about it let alone the victory lap Stewart was taking. Stewart went on and on and on. He mentioned Trump's at least 4 times.

The call ended and the host - THE drive time RW morning host here- said "Anyone else thirsty for some Kool-Aid?" I cracked up.
