Corey Stewart Making Unfounded Claims Agains Sen Tim Kaine
UPDATE 12:55 pm: Just saw this from former Virginia GOP Executive Manager Shaun Kenney: "So on points? @ TimKaine won the fence by making the differences clear, while Stewart lost the debate past making the differences intractable. Kaine's mention of his father-in-constabulary towards the end hit domicile for this Republican… my oh my how nosotros have changed."
UPDATE 12:41 pm: As Tim Kaine's comms director Ian Sams tweets, "Corey's attacks are just then bizarre – he lives in an alt-reality. Kaine helped open the IKEA manufacturing plant in Danville equally Governor. We but went dorsum in April. They're worried about TRUMP trade policies." Larry Sabato tweets, "Corey Stewart, who campaigned for Senate candidate Roy Moore in AL, won't renounce him, defends him on the underage girls charges. Well, there's a Kaine TV ad in the autumn."
UPDATE 12:37 pm: Bottom line –Tim Kaine made usa proud, was the adult in the room, stayed focused on the issues that affair most to Virginians. In stark dissimilarity, Corey Stewart spewed his usual embarrassing, ridiculous, nasty, divisive rhetoric, and offered no vision other than 100%, kneejerk supporting Trump. Meanwhile, Kaine laid out an inclusive vision of making life meliorate for EVERY Virignian. And then in the end, the choices this Nov for Virginian voters couldn't be more stark or more clear. I urge everyone to non just vote for Tim Kaine, merely to work as difficult every bit possible to ensure a Big win for him on election day, and to show the world that Virginia utterly rejects both the substance and style of everything Corey Stewart represents.
UPDATE 12:34 pm: Corey, afterwards bashing Kaine the entire debate, says he'southward a "nice guy," so goes dorsum to bashing him again. So f'ed up. How can ANYONE back up Corey Stewart? Barf. Kaine says the choice is very clear – "Trump first or Virginia showtime?" Kaine says he volition stand up confronting this president when he'south incorrect for Virginia, when he says at that place are skilful people on both sides of a white supremacy rally. Says he helped make Virginia the best state to raise a family, best state to do business, etc. Says he will work with Trump when he'due south right, stand confronting him when he'south wrong. Compare that to 100% Trump guy Corey Stewart.
UPDATE 12:30 pm: Question about existence transplanted Virginians and about which i or 2 Virginians they most admire. Corey says he loves this state, "I'm no longer a Minnesotan." Corey mentions George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, then attacks the "far left" for trying to "take down historical monuments that have sat their peacefully for 100 years." Kaine talks about his father in law, Lynwood Holton (94 years old), the first elected Republican governor in the history of Virginia, who integrated the commonwealth's public schools. Kaine says Holton is his hero, talks near the vision of a commonwealth for ALL.
UPDATE 12:27 pm: Question on Putin and the EU being allies or foes. Kaine says Russia is an adversary – that doesn't mean we shouldn't have dealings with them – "and nobody should error them for a friend." "Europe is an ally," they came to our assistance after nine/11. European troops fight next with American troops. Corey says still Once more that Kaine opposes everything Trump wants to exercise, claims that Kaine thinks everything is just fine the way it is. Outrageously, Corey claims liberals like Kaine liked Russia more when information technology was communist. WTF??????? This guy is completely out of control. No wonder why even his fellow Republicans are distancing themselves from him. Corey says Europe needs to start "interim similar" our allies. Ugh.
UPDATE 12:22 pm: Question on Virginia farmers impacted past Trump's trade war. Corey says we have to "go tough." Corey keeps claiming he's an international trade chaser, which is weird because based on how he talks, he knows Cypher virtually international trade. Corey says we "have to bust open foreign markets." Kaine says we have to be tough on trade but we "tin can't be foolish." Kaine says Corey is just proverb Trump is always right about everything. Says Trump is pain our farmers and workers through his trade war. "The president is waging a merchandise war against American workers and American farmers." Trump is as well waging a trade war against our allies – Canada, the EU. Corey falsely claims, notwithstanding again, that Kaine is just "against the president." Looks like Corey's gone for a 100% Trump/base strategy, which makes sense on one level, just ultimately is a loser because Trump is wildly unpopular in Virginia. Practiced luck with that, Corey.
UPDATE 12:15 pm: Question about tax credits for the coal industry. Kaine says we need teaching/training, but also research into making coal cleaner. Only Kaine says we are moving dramatically into a new energy economic system. Kaine likewise points out, correctly, that coal production is heavily automatic. Corey falsely claims Kaine "won't stand up up for yous." Corey proper name drops Chuck Schumer and President Obama. Corey then lies that "regulations" "shut down the coal industry." Let me just interject that this guy is admittedly appalling, should literally go Zip votes this November. At present Corey'due south on a rant about Kaine "betraying," "lecturing," blah blah apathetic. Kaine calmly refutes everything Corey said. "You conspicuously haven't gotten around very much…you simply don't know very much most southwest Virginia or you wouldn't make those claims." Kaine notes that Trump wants to eliminate the Appalachian Regional Committee. Corey basically blames Kaine for the opioid crisis, Kaine says Corey is trashing Danville. Have I mentioned that Corey is icky and a pathological liar?
UPDATE 12:10 pm: Corey doing his "fossil fuels rock!" routine now. Too gives the credit, falsely, to Trump for the U.S. beingness a major oil and gas producer; something that's been edifice for the by decade or and then. Annotation what Corey is Not mentioning – the environment, global warming, the plummeting costs of make clean energy. Kaine says he supports some but non all of Trump'southward free energy policies. What Kaine does NOT support is offshore drilling, particularly after the BP oil spill and later Hampton Roads saw the furnishings of the BP oil spill – and now that region is stone solid against offshore drilling. Kaine says he strongly supports depression/no-carbon energy, that Trump fabricated a huge mistake in moving to pull out of the Paris Climate Accordance, that the U.S. should exist in the lead on clean energy. Corey lies and claims it'southward "only under President Trump" that the U.S. has become a huge oil and gas producer (fact: we have been for many, many years, wayyyy before Trump). Corey claims again that Kaine has accomplished "nothing" in the Senate. Kaine rattles off his list of accomplishments and says these things affair to Virginians.
UPDATE 12:08 pm: Question on immigration and rural America. Kaine says there are a LOT of immigrants in rural Virginia. Once more, Kaine notes that the votes are still there for comprehensive immigration reform in the Senate. On family unit separation, Corey says everyone was "torn upwardly" nigh families being separated from families (uh, except for Trump and his Chaser General Jeff Sessions, whose POLICY THIS IS!). Corey just lying again – he'southward pathological. And, of course, Corey blames Democrats for everything, even when it'southward 100% the fault of Trump and the Republicans, which is ordinarily the example.
UPDATE 12:01 pm: Question on immigration. Kaine says Corey was recently rated "pants on burn" for making information technology up on clearing. Kaine says immigration helps make our nation peachy. What nosotros need is comprehensive immigration reform, which Kaine voted for and which the Senate passed (the GOP-controlled House wouldn't even take it upwardly). Corey claims Kaine wants "immunity for illegal aliens." Corey keeps repeating the phrase "criminal illegal aliens." Corey lies about Kaine supposedly attending an "abolish ICE rally" (note: he didn't, and in fact he has said multiple times he opposes abolishing Ice). Kaine says Corey is all most pitting immigrants against citizens, that nosotros are a nation of immigrants and need comprehensive immigration reform. Kaine says Trump is making it hard for students, tourists, investors and innovators to come hither. Kaine says it's "just a lie" that he went to an "abolish ICE" rally – "once more and once again, you lot stand hither and prevarication [Corey]." Corey lies withal Once more, claims falsely that Kaine went to an "abolish Ice rally." Claims the Dem Political party has been "taken over by the radical left" and that – wait for it – Kaine takes "orders" from the "radical left." Yes, Corey is completely bonkers.
UPDATE 11:53 am: Finally, a question to Corey nigh his ties to white supremacists and anti-Semites, and who Republicans have abandoned him. Corey claims he believes "all people are equal" and "there'southward not a racist bone in my torso" (which undoubtedly is why Corey constantly bashes immigrants, hires/hangs out with anti-Semites and white supremacists). Corey tries to turn the tables, mentions Wes Bellamy and Leslie Cockburn (who Corey falsely claims said things she DID Not SAY – more lies past Corey). Kaine says that Corey chooses to acquaintance himself with people similar Jason Kessler – "Corey went to Jason Kessler's events," the builder of the horrible events in Charlottesville. "Corey sought out Paul Nehlen…he is a notorious anti-Semite, anti-Islamic, violent language." Corey called Paul Nehlen 1 of his "personal hereos." Corey went to campaign for Roy Moore. Corey "knows who these people are…what they stand for," yet he chooses to associate with them. Corey even so over again brings up Leslie Cockburn and claims – FALSELY – that she's an anti Semite. Kaine says Corey continues to make information technology personal, nasty, and make it up. He says Corey did NOT disavow himself from these people. "Only when your caught and it got for you…you haven't even disavowed Roy Moore yet." "Leslie Cockburn wrote a book that was disquisitional of U.Southward. and Israeli foreign policy," that is NOT the aforementioned equally existence an anti-Semite. Kaine says he'due south been to Israel more than times than he's been to whatever other country. Corey keeps making this imitation equivalence to Leslie Cockburn. Kaine says he doesn't take to agree with all of Cockburn'due south strange policy views, but it's "scurrilous" to telephone call her an anti-Semite. Corey now back to defending Roy Moore against "forty-twelvemonth-erstwhile allegations." Craaaazy.
UPDATE 11:50 am: Kaine asks Corey about skipping a Pow County Board meeting to go campaign for Roy Moore, who had a "long history of preying on teenage girls." Why? Corey says Kaine skipped "entire four years as governor of Virginia." Other than existence laughable, notation that Corey isn't responding about his support for scumbag Roy Moore. Corey now ranting and raving nigh Kaine supposedly not fixing the roads in Virginia. Kaine says every bit governor, Forbes named Virginia the all-time place to do concern, we were AAA bail rated, Pew named Virginia the all-time-managed state in America. Kaine says he has done a ton of good stuff in the Senate.
UPDATE 11:47 am: Kaine says get-go that Corey ducked the question about the Mueller investigation, only that he's chosen it a "witch hunt" that "should be terminated," which would exist a "disaster." Kaine says "President Trump is caving to the Russians," that he "picked a fight with allies," but then when he was on the stage with Putin "he went all soft." Trump believed Putin over patriotic, hard-working Americans. Kaine says he's a Virginia-first guy, Corey is a 100% Trump-first guy. Corey claims the Mueller investigation IS a "witch hunt." Corey claims Kaine "takes orders" from Chuck Schumer. "All that they're trying to do is undermine the President…who has been incredibly successful." Seriously, this is real life and at that place's a real Republican candidate for U.Southward. Senate saying this crazy shit.
UPDATE 11:44 am: On the Mueller investigation, Kaine says it has to be protected, that it's looking into very serious charges, that it has to be allowed to get to its terminate indicate, that there take already been multiple indictments, but that he wont pre-judge it until it's done. Nosotros do need to become to the lesser of it, so that we can protect our electoral system. Corey says Kaine seems surprised that Russians are behaving "like Russians." Corey then claims Kaine was "silent" when Russia invaded Crimea. Corey is laughed at when he claims that Trump is standing upward to the Russians. Claims Kaine wants to jeopardize the relationship with Russian federation, "and that's frightening." This is chosen Pull a fast one on "News," far-correct, alternate-reality bizarro world. My god…
UPDATE 11:40 am: On abortion, Corey says if Roe is overturned – which he thinks it SHOULD be – so it goes back to the individual states. Corey then rapidly goes back to challenge that Kaine "automatically" opposes everything Trump does. Corey claims Kaine "has the nerve to say" he supports the war machine, which of course Kaine does – and has for many many years. Kaine says he supports the war machine as a proud fellow member of the Armed Service Commission and considering his "ain flesh and claret" serves in the military. Kaine says he has battled for veterans, expanding the Navy, which will create thousands of jobs. Corey keeps challenge that Kaine voted against the armed services considering he's a "left-wing radical liberal" and opposes "everything President Trump does." In fact, Kaine said he voted for the appropriations pecker that funded all of the things we needed to fund with regard to the military; Secretary Mattis said it was nifty.
UPDATE 11:37 am: Corey of grade says that far-right Approximate Kavanaugh is wonderful. Corey claims Kaine will "play decoy" but ultimately vote no on Kavanaugh, "because he'southward against annihilation President Trump does" (another lie – in fact, if Trump had appointed a reasonable justice like Merrick Garland, Kaine would have strongly supported it!). Corey says he'south a ramble originalist. Of course, the constitution "every bit written" had all kinds of bad stuff. Kaine responds again with the slogan, "Make information technology nasty, Get in personal, Arrive up." Kaine talks about all kinds of legislation he's helped laissez passer, including stuff that Trump has supported. In fact, Kaine points out, Corey is 100% for Trump, including the "horrible Helsinki elevation," the family separation policy, etc. Kaine says he'south an independent thinker for Virginia. Says he volition meet with Estimate Kavanaugh, which Republicans REFUSED TO Do with Approximate Garland. "I'll do it on the merits."
UPDATE xi:33 am: Corey asks Kaine about changes in policy positions over the years and charges that the Hillary Clinton campaign forced him to do then. Kaine said that's non truthful, and mentions that Corey pledged to run a "roughshod" and "nasty" campaign. Kaine notes that on offshore drilling, coastal communities – and besides the Defense Department – well-nigh all changed their positions after the Gulf of United mexican states offshore oil disaster. Corey claims we "all desire to play by the truth" – rich, coming from this pathological liar. Now Corey is request Kaine about his position on ballgame, including "up to the moment of nascency." Kaine says "get in nasty, make it personal or make information technology up." Kaine says he took an adjuration to uphold the constitution. "You want to repeal Roe v Wade" and go back to the day when women can be arrested for having an abortion. "I alive by my church's teaching," but does NOT believe it's his task every bit a public official to prevent women from making their own health care decisions. This actually reminds me of the infamous "Hitler ads" from the 2005 campaign, past the manner…
UPDATE 11:28 am: Question specifically on preexisting conditions. Corey says the ACA has been a "disaster," which of course is totally false, only he does say he supports preventing insurance companies from barring people with preexisting conditions (of course, it all fits together, so how would that work if you gut the rest of the ACA???). Corey continues to prevarication and lie about the ACA…not even going to repeat the lies. Kaine talks about mothers bringing disabled children who benefited from the ACA to his office. Kaine says the GOP has slashed funding for Medicaid that helps disabled kids. "My opponent was rooting on the destruction of health" for Virginians similar those disabled kids. Stewart again puts false words in Kaine'southward mouth, this time near "Washington bureaucrats" supposedly "knowing better" blah apathetic. Classic government-employee-bashing and government-bashing demagoguery. Corey basically demonstrates he knows zilch about wellness intendance.
UPDATE 11:24 am: Question virtually wellness care. Kaine says he supported the Affordable Care Act, Medicaid expansion in Virginia, says Corey wants to repeal Medicaid and funding for Planned Parenthood. "We are very very different on health care." On prescription drug prices, Kaine says the federal government should negotiate nether Medicare Part D. Demagogic, no-answers Corey over again mentions Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer, apropos of nothing. Of course, Corey claims the ACA isn't working, but completely ignores the fact that Republicans have been SABOTAGING it relentlessly. Premium increases, by the way, are largely the outcome of that GOP sabotage. Corey as well once again puts (faux) words into Kaine's rima oris – god this guy is obnoxious and detestable. Kaine says that hundreds of thousands of Virginians with preexisting weather take benefited, every bit have kids who couldn't stay on family policies until 26, etc, etc. Uninsured rate at present at lowest level in 50 years. "Of grade this doesn't mean anything to my opponent." "He slashed public wellness spending [in PW Canton] by 35%."
UPDATE xi:twenty am: Kaine correctly points out that the Republican tax bill was the biggest deficit-busting bill in history. Kaine likewise notes that benefits to individuals from the revenue enhancement cuts were temporary, expiring, small (and I'd add, heavily skewed towards the wealthiest Americans). Kaine says we need to shore up Medicare and Social Security and maintain their solvency going forward. Corey bizarrely calls Kaine an "extreme liberal," goes to the usual Republican nonsense near tax increases, "radically left," blah blah blah. And note that Corey has dodged whatsoever serious answer on the deficit/debt and the GOP tax cutting's role in exploding those things. You see what Corey the demagogue does?
UPDATE 11:18 am: Question about the arrears/debt, which Trump and the Republicans are causing to explode. Corey manages to mention Nancy Pelosi, which has nil to practise with annihilation. And then he lies about the Trump/Ryan/McConnell tax cuts – and when I say lies, I mean that Corey's claims accept been debunked by contained fact checkers time and once more. Corey claims that Kaine "jacked upwardly" the deficit, which is completely false too. Lies, lies and more lies. Besides lies about the U.S. growth charge per unit. Not fifty-fifty sure what to exercise with someone who just makes shit upward, no connection to reality or the facts.
UPDATE xi:fifteen am: Corey puts words into Kaine's oral cavity, very obnoxious as e'er. Corey likewise focuses on the problems that exist in Virginia and blames information technology 100% on President Obama and the Democrats. Bashes trade agreements. Claims nosotros need to "force open" foreign markets. "President Trump is doing the right thing to pry open up foreign markets" (hahahahaha – non). Corey hits Kaine for opposing the Republicans massive tax cut for rich people, i that blows up the deficit/debt by the manner. Kaine points out that the Republicans' priority is giving "deep, permanent tax cuts for corporations," not regular people. Need to help people.
UPDATE 11:13 am: Get-go question to Sen. Kaine, on the economy. "The Virginia economy was potent before President Trump came into office…but at that place are [now] warning signs" like "foolish merchandise wars," "these tariffs the president is imposing…they're going to toll America…jobs." "Nosotros need to end the trade war that is hurting American farmers…and American workers." Using trade sanctions against Canada and Europe is "painful."
UPDATE 11:11 am: Sen. Kaine talks about building a "Virginia that works for all." Kaine says he listens and works to solve Virginians' problems (which of course is EXACTLY what we want in a U.S. Senator!). Virginia problems – Virginia solutions – Tim Kaine. Kaine also says "information technology's about work, working people and jobs." And "it's got to work for ALL…we take a president who'south likewise divisive…we need leaders who know how to pull usa together; we saw the hurting of sectionalization last year in Charlottesville…Virginia does not want to go back to sectionalization."
UPDATE 11:09 am: Neo-Confederate Corey'due south opening statement now has the gall to brag that Prince William Canton is one of the near various jurisdictions in Virginia. Corey takes about 1 minute to talk about "criminal illegal aliens." Corey now claims Kaine is a "nice guy," after attacking him viciously the past few months, even maxim he should exist put in jail. And so basically, looks like Corey'due south going to pretend to be relatively civil today. Don't buy it.
UPDATE 11:03 am: Former VA GOP Executive Managing director@svkenney tweets, "That sends two messages: (1) @ CoreyStewartMN has no intentions of firing Landrum, and (2) he has no apologies for associating with the alt-right. An alt-right with deep and serious connections to Russian influence."
UPDATE 11 am: And and then information technology begins…glad that this is being live streamed.
*********************************************
This should be fun, every bit far-right, neo-Amalgamated Corey Stewart appears in his first U.South. Senate fence with Sen. Tim Kaine starting at 11 am today (meet video stream, higher up). I'm planning to live web log it, then stay tuned. Should be, er, interesting to hear what Crazy Corey every bit to say. I hope that moderator Judy Woodruff really quizzes Corey on his ties to white supremacists, amidst other things. The bottom line is that Senator Kaine is fighting to brand things improve for all Virginians – and all Americans – while Corey Stewart is focused on vehement people autonomously, proving that he's Donald Trump'southward true-blue "mini-me," and mostly lowering the level of our public discourse into the gutter. [annotation: Kaine tweeted this morning, "I've debated a lot in my life—from my time in the courtroom every bit a ceremonious rights lawyer to my time every bit Governor—each time, my focus has been on helping people and making things fairer. Today won't be any different."] This ballot should be about which candidate will serve ALL Virginians, as opposed to the far-correct fringe. The choice is crystal clear – reelect Tim Kaine in a landslide; end Corey Stewart's disastrous political career.
P.S. The first ane of these VBA debates I covered was back in 2005, as so-Attorney Full general Jerry Kilgore debated then-Lt. Governor Tim Kaine at the Greenbrier in Due west Virginia. I also covered the 2006 VBA argue at The Homestead, that fourth dimension between then-Sen. George "Felix Macacawitz" Allen and Jim Webb. Ah, memories…
It'south #VASEN fence day – @timkaine got up in the 5am hour to striking the gym here, so he can better flex on @CoreyStewartVA. ? He's already making VBA staff express mirth – and considering doing the thing in resort casual. ???♂️
