GOP candidate’s spokesman calls majority-black cities ‘sh*tholes’ and wishes the Confederacy had won

Spokesman Rick Shaftan also cautioned against opening businesses in predominantly black areas. The “s**tholes” in question were Memphis, New Orleans, and Baltimore. Shaftan’s boss, Corey Stewart, has been a longtime ally of President Donald Trump, who infamously referred to predominantly black countries as “s**tholes.”

Shaftan, a passionate advocate for the preservation of Confederate statues, doubled down on Twitter after the Beast exposed his tweets, daring reporters to find even worse things he’d said. “I must have said something worse than that in all these years! They need to look harder.”

As for finding other controversial sentiments he’s expressed over the years: it doesn’t take a deep dive into his social media to find a graphic he’d posted to Facebook yearning for Confederate victory in the Civil War.

Raw Story reached out to him for comment on the meaning of the graphic and will update accordingly.
