In a discussion with conservative leaders last week, North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory said the reaction to House Bill 2 has gotten personal, leaving his wife “shunned” at social events and making him the target of verbal assaults and even death threats.

McCrory told the group that he’s also experienced political blow-back that he said was orchestrated by the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest LGBT advocacy group.

He described companies that say, “Although you’ve been an outstanding governor, we still cannot support you because HRC will attack us,” he recalled. “And I’ve had at least five this week tell me that. Good friends. Very good friends. ‘Pat, I love ya. I love ya man, we’ll be friends for life. We just can’t support you.”...

▪ “My wife, for example, in Charlotte – she primarily stays in Charlotte,” he said. “She’s been disinvited to charity events. Basically, they call her up and say, ‘You better not come. You better not come.…

Better call him a

1. This governor is neck deep in

bigotry and I hope it blows up in his face when voters toss him overboard.

Be nice if they just waved bye-bye to Governor McCrory and Clinton-Kaine wins North Carolina early on in the evening of Nov. 8th.

And we'll just take that U.S. Senate seat too, long as we're in town.

3. Aww did he get his fee-fees hurt?

4. Bad political positions, but a decent executive.

During the hurricane, his briefings were well done. He seemed to have a handle on things. Rick Scott, on the other hand, just sucks on all levels.

19. He talkie good in front of the mikie phone. Bullshit.

Any fucking monkey can do that. That makes the monkey a "decent executive"? What was his tie in a Double Windsor? How low can this bar or excellence go?

Seriously. The fact that he spit out pre-written words well matters to you?

I live in NC and he is shit on a stick. Period.

5. Boo fucking hoo!

Whiny little tool, isn't he?

[JoePhilly]

6. Good. He tried to use the power of the government to hurt people.

Can't wait until he loses.

8. Companies say you've been an outstanding gov...really?

Which company gov..outstanding in what way gov..without substance gov..what would you have us do? - Trust your word Gov?

Sorry, you are deplorable..hb2 - reverse course gov..duke energy and the disgusting pollution - and you do nothing gov..is that why you are outstanding gov..btw - all the revenue from the sports events...gone..outstanding my arse..voter suppression - so intellectually flawed ...

Go talk to Rev Barber - and get your act together - the good people of NC are the victims...not you - so don't even try..you will be voted out..

Expect to be treated like a deplorable.

10. Yes, this is what happens to bigots

People have said racist shit to me in the past. They're no longer invited to my home, and I don't accept their invitations.

If somebody finds you deplorable, that person will probably not want to associate with you any more. He acts like this is surprising. It is probably the major force that reduced open racism in this country, and will reduce open bigotry against LGBTQ people. Oh, you're a bigot? Guess what? We can't hang out any more. Buh-bye.

Deal with it, Pat.

Or change.

15. McCrory lies a lot. Just saying.

16. My next question would be

Did you learn anything or are you still a homophobic piece of shit?

[central scrutinizer]

17. Trump tweets his opposition to HB2

"Men, at least men who are stars, should be free to follow women into restrooms."

18. Thread win!

20. Being an asshole has consequences

I'm a long way from NC myself, but a friend who lives there has said exactly that about McCrory.

21. McCrory is a crybaby

He deserves to be shunned

[Row_the_boat]

[mfcorey1]
