The South has risen again . . . in Brooklyn.

City Council candidate Laurie Cumbo’s arrogant aide, sacked after The Post asked why the campaign hired a Virginian who hates “f–king New Yorkers” and vowed online that “the south shall rise again!!!!!!!!” has been rehired.

Cumbo, who hopes to replace Councilwoman Letitia James, wrote on Facebook that while Jefferey Lee Knighton’s rants “were offensive to me as an African American and as a woman,” she believes he’s a “solid man with a good heart.”
