North Carolina Republicans care more about an illegitimate power grab than getting needed relief to hurricane victims in the state.

Truly shameful on many levels.

These people have no shame. They have no guilt. They are pure narcissists.

Anyone who paid attention in their high school civics class should know that what they're doing flies in the face of our government's separation of powers, yet there are jack*ss attorneys, like Brent Woodcox, explaining why it's the right thing to do. #NCPOL

It’s wild to me that the GOP and outlets like Fox made it seem like we weren’t doing anything to help hurricane victims and now they’re pulling shit like this.

The president elect also stated (during a rally at the Gastonia,NC airport) that Hurricane Helene was “sent by God” to give a bad jobs report and boost his chances in the election (“thank you sir!” he prayed at God)

The 2 folks I personally knew that were crushed by falling trees weren’t mentioned.

Pay wall 😡

NC deserves better than the hold MAGA has on their politics.

Republicans used to at least attempt to hide their hatred of democracy and sick lust for fascism. That ended in 2016.

johnnynovio.bsky.social•96 days ago

The GOP doesn't care about people, only themselves.

amykitty157.bsky.social•92 days ago

The DemoRats are not helping N.C. Residents who last everything. FEMA crying we have no money. These assholes spent over $100 billion for illegals housing, flights, schooling, and food.
Screw FEMA, Elon is going to shut it down and the NGO’s . Can’t wait

punchycritic.bsky.social•96 days ago

Didn't the GOP try to strip Roy Cooper of his powers on the way in, too? Ugh.

The cousin-fucker Republican voters get what they deserve - less for themselves and more for the wealthy.

antiss.bsky.social•96 days ago

GOP Voters just don't "get" that!

adanddavid.bsky.social•96 days ago

Speaking as a North Carolinian, this does not surprise me. This is what the NC GOP has been for years. And, if you voice your displeasure over this to a Republican voter, they will come up with all sorts of excuses as to why this is appropriate and tell you "both parties are the same."

Criminals

They also banned public wearing of masks after they couldn’t use face recognition software to identify Confederate Statue protesters, so we’re already warmed up for this type of thing. Unlike the last hundred or so still living in tents in Helene ravaged Asheville.

njjones321.bsky.social•96 days ago

Yes shameful but no surprise

melcumber.bsky.social•96 days ago

NC Republican voters don’t care. It’s a way to own the libs, which is the only metric that exists here.

vivavic.bsky.social•96 days ago

They don't want to govern, They want to rule.

freedahkaylow.bsky.social•96 days ago

They've been horrible for years.

stevefermier.bsky.social•96 days ago

This veto is very good news. I hope to God it's not over ridden.

jaysimcox.bsky.social•96 days ago

if you recall they have pulled this shit for several elections in a row now.

marylou13.bsky.social•96 days ago

🤬😭💩

paws4justice.bsky.social•96 days ago

As a North Carolinian I am disgusted by their actions. As a WNC resident, I am fucking pissed!

hockeymomnc.bsky.social•96 days ago

This is not the first time they have attempted this and unfortunately won't be the last. This is who they are.

kagavin.bsky.social•96 days ago

This is their go-to move.

katzilla01.bsky.social•96 days ago

Obviously, as shown by the numbers, the residents of N.C. apparently are comfortable with the fact that their legislature wants them to suffer.

robotblue.bsky.social•96 days ago

Par for the Republican course

leilarr.bsky.social•96 days ago

It’s standard for them now. Thanks for all you continue do to help keep democracy alive in the US.

rmh111.bsky.social•96 days ago

GOP is nothing but performance and nothing about supporting citizens, but they are good at deception.

delizad.bsky.social•96 days ago

While I agree it is shameful - we can't be distracted by outrage constantly. This typical GOP. The question is what is the Dems response? Do we have one? Are we just going to watch from the moral high-ground?

equinox55.bsky.social•90 days ago

Not just Dems. All citizens should respond.

bsexton.bsky.social•96 days ago

This is egregious. That's why Eric Holder, Obama's AG, is talking about it. This will effectively destroy whatever democracy is left in our state.
