In a video uploaded to YouTube, the Republican challenger to Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) led a mob of protesters outside the restaurant that booted Sarah Sanders — encouraging them to chant ‘build the wall.”
In the video, candidate Corey Stewart — who is running a campaign closely aligned with President Donald Trump while advocating for keeping Confederate monuments — addresses the crowd and disparages the owner of the Red Hen restaurant in Lexington for asking White House spokesperson Sarah Huckabee Sanders to take her dining party and leave.
He then encouraged the American flag-waving crowd to chant President Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant mantra “Build the wall” as cars drove — with some honking their horns.
On Saturday, the head of the Virginia GOP resigned rather than be aligned with Stewart.
