Stewart calls Gillespie's work for Tyson Foods 'human trafficking'
Virginia gubernatorial hopeful Corey Stewart on Tuesday accused one of his rivals of participating in "human trafficking," a claim he based on work Ed Gillespie's lobbying firm did for Tyson Foods when the poultry giant was charged with smuggling Mexicans across the border to work in its U.S. plants.
"In essence, Ed Gillespie is complicit in smuggling illegal aliens into this country," Stewart said. "He's complicit in human trafficking."
Stewart, a Republican Prince William supervisor who faces Gillespie and state Sen. Frank Wagner, Virginia Beach, in the June 13 GOP primary, made the claim one day after The Washington Post reported that Tyson paid Quinn Gillespie & Associates more than $1 million for help on a range of issues, including the criminal case, which ended in acquittal.
Gillespie's campaign dismissed Stewart's claim - coming exactly two weeks before the primary -- as a baseless attack.

Yes, yes, let's see Republicans attack each other in the primary so that they are damaged goods by the time they get to the general election.
