While Governor Pat McCrory (R. NC) and U.S. Senator Richard Burr (R. NC) are rightfully both top targets this year, especially due to their backing of HB2. But lets not forget about the down ballot Republicans running for office in the Tar Hell state. Like this clown running for Attorney General:
No beating around the bush by the Republican nominee for attorney general in North Carolina: The state's new anti-LGBT law is about keeping North Carolina "straight."
During a Monday rally in the state capital Raleigh with supporters of the law that keeps transgender people from using the public bathroom of their choice, state Sen. Buck Newton, the GOP nominee for attorney general, strayed from the typical conservative talking points about public safety.
"Go home, tell your friends and family who had to work today what this is all about and how hard we must fight to keep our state straight," Newton told attendees at the rally, according to a video posted by Progress North Carolina Action.
Newton made the comments at a rally with other Republican state lawmakers for those support the new law in Raleigh.
"We all know that the folks that wave the rainbow flags and things like that are politically very upset about the way things are today. They’re upsets about the way things have always been in this state," he said earlier in his remarks. "And they're bound and determined to try to change it, whether it’s by winning elections in the city of Charlotte on their city council or whether it’s wining elections in November in the General Assembly or whether it’s winning elections in November for our governor."
This is what we are up against, folks. Lets kick some Republican extremist ass in November. Click below to donate and get involved with all the Democrats in North Carolina running for Attorney General, Governor, U.S. Senate, Lt. Governor, Treasurer and Secretary of State:
