Corey Stewart 1 hr ·

Tons of interviews today on behalf of Mr. Trump. Then, I went to start a rebellion against GOP establishment pukes who betrayed Trump.

Corey Stewart on Sunday

"Just got word. Republican women in Virginia, Maryland and perhaps other states are organizing a demonstration in support of Trump at RNC Headquarters in Washington tomorrow. Tell the RNC that you stand by Trump. The protest starts at 2:00 at 310 First Street SE, Washington, DC. Metro Station is Capitol South."

After word was out that the RNC elites were abandoning Trump, Corey took a principled stand to defend Trump.

He appeared to be protesting on behalf of the Trump campaign, without the approval of the Trump campaign.

Trump has plenty of reasons to disagree with the RNC, but that's something he should do privately, rather than publicly.

Yes, there’s a very active Women for Trump group who probably started the idea of the protest and Corey got involved without checking. Too back since he’s been doing a great job. I can’t imagine who will replace him as he’s been so loyal and knows Virginia.

Alice Butler-Short‎ to Virginia Women for Trump Just now ·

THERE WAS NO PROTEST TODAY - IT WAS A RALLY IN SUPPORT OF TRUMP. A very civil, yet enthusiastic gathering of Trump's top volunteers, except for a couple of minutes when a young Field Director came and tried to break it up.

FOr going rogue, it sounds like. And with things as volatile as they are I can’t blame the campaign for exerting strong control, as one well-intentioned incident could do a lot of damage. When you’re part of an organization, you ask permission first, you don’t just run out doing things your boss(es) aren’t aware of.

He was told by the Trump campaign not to do this and he ignored them. So he got canned.

Wonder why he defied them. Perhaps he considered it a rally and not a protest. Things were going pretty well in Virginia — lots of volunteers and volunteer opportunities to be involved. Alice Butler-Short said in her facebook update that a field director showed up and told them to stop. I guess that’s when Corey didn’t.

Gives me hope Trump will run a tight ship from the Oval Office.

He has a certain work ethic, and he expects others to hold to it.

He is or was campaign chair. Everything he does reflects on Trump so the big campaign has a right to require moderation

Had he been a shlump no one would have said boo

This will probably affect Corey’s run for governor next year. He may decide just to stay with his Chairman of Prince William County.

RNC SAID THAT MONEY WOULD BE PULLED FROM TRUMP AND NO LONGER WERE THEY GOING TO GET OUT THE TRUMP VOTE.

20% OF MONEY TRUMP RAISED WAS GIVEN TO RNC. THEY PROMISED THE PUNKS AND PUKES WHO ABANDONNED DJT THEY WOULD GET MONEY TRUMPSTERS AND MR. TRUMP CONTRIBUTED TO RNC.

SORRY, BUT I DESIRE SOME PUSH BACK FOR TRAITORS, AND IF THE RNC IS AGAIN BREAKING WITH THE FAITH OF THE TRUMPSTERS I SAY WE REFUSE TO LOSE TO CROOKED HILLARY.

REMEMBER MCCONNEL AND RYAN ARE THE INSIDERS WHO CREATED THE INSURGEANT OUTSIDE TRUMP AND CRUZ.

I DON’T THINK A PERSON IN COREY’S
POSITION SHOULD NOT HAVE THE INITIATIVE TO PUSH BACK TAKEN AWAY FROM HIM.

JUST HOW IS TRUMP GOING TO SNAP THE WHIP LIKE TOM DELAY DID

True. What if he had gotten into a heated argument with someone and all sorts of quotables would have gotten to the MSM?
