A GOP congressman running for reelection in Virginia says he cares nothing about the state's Republican senatorial candidate who is being pounded by Democrats as a politician who sides with racists and anti-Semites.
Rep. Scott Taylor told The Virginian-Pilot newspaper that Democrats are "stupid" if they believe he is an ally of Corey Stewart.
"I don't give a s*** about Corey Stewart. No one else does either except for Democrats who are trying to target me. . . No one cares, except for a small teeny amount of people you met at the cupcake place. What are they trying to say? That Scott Taylor likes Corey Stewart so therefore he's a racist?" Taylor said.
"Do you think that's going to play here? My son is named after a black guy. I'm a military guy. We don't give a s*** about where you come from. Black, white, brown, gay, straight. I don't care."
Taylor made the remarks after his Democratic opponent Elaine Luria asked him to condemn Stewart, who, the Virginian-Pilot says, has been plagued by charges he expressed support for Paul Nehlen, a self-described "pro-White Christian American candidate."
"He should reject the fact that Corey Stewart stands next to racists and anti-Semites," Luria said, according to the newspaper. "If he doesn't have the fortitude to reject those values, then I think he stands with him."
