Sorry, McCrory—you signed it, you own it!
As you read about North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory's latest attempt to point the finger elsewhere, let's just remember that he has not once—not once—taken responsibility for the colossal failure known as HB2. The Charlotte Observer writes:
“(In) the last four days, I’ve tried to work with leadership both in the House and Senate and with your local leadership to find a solution,” McCrory said of efforts to repeal the law that he signed in March. “There are people that don’t want that solution including my opponent, including … some of the leadership here in Charlotte.”
Speaking across town, Cooper said McCrory should accept responsibility for the law that has led the Atlantic Coast Conference and the NCAA to take a series of championships from the state and cost millions in lost jobs and canceled performances.
Cooper said McCrory has blamed “me, the president, the city of Charlotte, the liberal media and Bruce Springsteen” for HB2.
Cooper's got that right. McCrory's latest scam is that Charlotte needs to repeal its local LGBTQ protections so state lawmakers can save face and repeal HB2. Get that? Pro-LGBTQ measures must be compromised in order for GOP lawmakers to stop discriminating.
McCrory's feeling a bit desperate now that Cooper has opened a five-point lead on him in Wednesday's PPP poll. With leadership like that, go figure.
