Gov. McCrory Retweeted GOP Senate Majority Leader’s Vile Response Supporting His Executive Order
If Anyone Had Hopes That Maybe, Just Maybe, McCrory Was Gaining Insight, Read This
Governor Pat McCrory within one hour or two hours of announcing his executive order that does little to actually fix or repeal HB2 took time to retweet several people and groups who embraced his actions.Â
The first was the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce’s attempt to whitewash the news:

The second was that of NC GOP Senate Majority Leader Phil Berger (photo) – a vile, caustic, hate-filled and ugly statement supporting the Governor’s executive order:

Here’s the text of the first paragraph:
“Gov. McCrory just put to rest the left’s lies about HB 2 and proved it allows private and public employers, non-profits and churches the ability to adopt nondiscrimination policies that are stronger than state and federal law. But that fact is irrelevant to Roy Cooper and his left-wing political correctness mob with their agenda-driven allies in the liberal media, who will never stop trashing North Carolina until they achieve their goal of allowing any man into any women’s bathroom or locker room at any time simply by claiming to feel like a woman.â€Â
Really heartwarming, isn’t it? I’m sure North Carolina’s LGBT community, equality supporters, and rational citizens felt much better knowing the most powerful lawmaker in the state is a radical extremist who clearly hates anyone who isn’t a Republican, anyone who has common sense, or anyone who believes elected officials should treat the people who pay their salaries with a modicum of respect.
