Democrat’s U-Turn to Join the G.O.P. Upends North Carolina PoliticsThe veto-proof majority is in the North Carolina State Legislature, in a swing state.
State Senator, Tristan Cotham, announced her switch to the GOP in a press conference and the reasons for her decision: quote:
Cotham said intolerant leftists viciously attacked her for using the American flag and praying hands emoji on social media and on her vehicles.Democrats have been blasting me on Twitter to calling me names, coming after my family, coming after my children. That is wrong.

Cotham’s announcement also completely neuters liberal Democrat Governor Roy Cooper politically. With a new supermajority, Republicans will be able [to implement] a bold conservative agenda on election integrity, immigration, abortion, and gun rights.
On abortion: I think it's a bad idea for either party to impose its beliefs or ideas through government on the entire country, because either way, half the country will not accept it. IP: Logged |
