“ISIS has won”: GOP candidates in Virginia and South Carolina enraged by Louisiana’s removal of Confederate monument

If at first you don't secede, try, try again

MATTHEW SHEFFIELD

On Monday, Corey Stewart, a Republican running to become his party’s gubernatorial nominee in Virginia compared people trying to remove state monuments to the Confederate States of America to the terrorist group ISIS.

“It appears ISIS has won,” he wrote on his Twitter account. “They are tearing down historical monuments in New Orleans now too. It must end. Despicable!”

The Republican candidate’s comments came the morning after workers wearing masks and tactical vests took down New Orleans’ Battle of Liberty Place monument under the cover of night and surrounded by police sniper protection. The controversial removal was the first of four scheduled relocations of Confederate memorials in the city.

Stewart isn’t likely to remove his inflammatory tweet considering that he’s been running his entire primary campaign trying to appeal to angry conservatives who still pine for treason against the union.

1. Yes, I completely understand why ISIS was just obsessed. . . truly OBSESSED. . . .

with taking down <gasp!>. . . Those ungodly Confederate statues!

[mercuryblues]

2. If ISIS

has been fighting for equality without racism, then yeah, they won. Oh you mean to say they are a religious sect that wants to force their brand of religion on the rest of the world, then that is exactly the same objective as Corey Stewart. Just a different belief they want to shove down our throat.

3. I fight with neo-Confederates about this issue frequently.

They claim removing confederate monuments and changing the name of buildings dedicated to war criminals like Nathan Bedford Forrest is destroying their 'heritage'.

Of course they still call the Civil War the 'war of northern aggression' and insist it had nothing to do with slavery.

Oh and they don't just compare us to ISIS, they also call us Nazis. Seriously.

4. How will those idiots like monuments of Putin

being installed shortly? Fucking idiots. I hope they all rot.

[rollin74]

5. Isis supports and engages in slavery

just like the confederacy

so... Isis has lost

6. The show is over.

150 years is long enough. Get over it.

7. According to the GOP, if you're not GOP, you're hitler, stalin or bin laden.

Lunacy.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. I thought ISIS was too busy elsewhere

to be taking down Confederate monuments in Louisiana.

[PsychoBabble]

9. Now wait a minute

45 said he was defeating ISIS as soon as he took office?


I am confused.

[muntrv]

10. No, the USA won....

in 1865.

[Solly Mack]

11. So ISIS fought the Confederacy? Who knew?

[VOX]

16. Well #45 scooped the whole Frederick Douglass thing...

"Frederick Douglass is an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is getting recognized more and more, I notice."

17. The history no one knew...except Trump, that is.

lolol

[NewRedDawn]

12. Boo-hoo you fucking

confederate rebel traitor mother fuckers. I just wished the union would have killed more of your fucking armies. So less of you fuckers around today.

[ProudLib72]

13. In 1876

Louisiana elected a government that ensured white supremacy.

In 2016, America elected a government that ensured white supremacy.

[Grassy Knoll]

14. I Thought Cons Would Be Happy B'Cause They Love To Remind Us...

..How The KKK Was Started By Us Libruls.

[VOX]

15. Abe Lincoln's secret pact with ISIS exposed!

Grant and Sherman were in on this for sure. They specifically drew up plans to humiliate the Old Confederacy exactly 152 years after Lee's surrender at Appomattox.

Next up: Stonewall Jackson's torrid love affair with James Longstreet!

18. Ooh wow. Didn't think it possible to stick your head that far up your ass.

Apparently these knuckle dragging idiots have achieve a new world record. Incredible.....
