The HB2 debacle that has roiled North Carolina's GOP lawmakers is now spilling over into the re-election campaign of Republican U.S. Sen. Richard Burr and he doesn't like it one bit. Burr initially claimed that the anti-LGBT law "does not discriminate" and later dismissed the economic meltdown brought on by its enactment. But the longer North Carolina's woes continue, the less he wants to talk about it, reports Politico:
Asked about the attempt by [GOP Sen. Mark] Kirk and the Democrats to take the All-Star Game away from Charlotte, Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) responded: “Oh, I’m not getting into that crap. Thanks.”
Testy, testy. That re-election campaign is just getting tougher by the day with news that Burr's Democratic challenger, Deborah Ross, outraised him in this year’s first fundraising quarter—$1.3 million to $1.1 million. It's a solid start for the Ross campaign, but Burr still has the cushion of a $5.8 million war chest.
