North Carolina GOP slams Burr for voting to convict Trump in impeachment

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The North Carolina Republican Party on Saturday slammed three-term GOP Sen. Richard Burr for his vote to convict former President Donald Trump in his second impeachment trial.

Burr, a reliable conservative, was one of 7 Republicans who crossed party lines to convict Trump of "incitement of insurrection" for the former president's role in the deadly January 6 Capitol riots.

This action drew the ire of party members across the state and also prompted an official rebuke from state party chairman Michael Whatley.

"North Carolina Republicans sent Senator Burr to the United States Senate to uphold the Constitution and his vote today to convict in a trial that he declared unconstitutional is shocking and disappointing," he said in a statement.

North Carolina GOP to Trump,"Won't you be our Valentine?"

1. My solution for this?

Run good Dem candidates, campaign for them, fund them, and throw the bastards out of office.

10. We try

and the state Dem leadership keep undermining them in favor of “candidates acceptable to moderate North Carolinians” who then go on to lose.

2. All of North Carolina

I wrote to Tillis and Burr every day via email.

They represent all of North Carolina. 70% of us support Burr.

I'll be letting them know, too.

not that it will matter.

Their 43 senators represent 76 million fewer people.
This has to change.

4. Me thinks they are a bit worried about NC turning bright blue.

Right now I think they are more purple than red and maybe Burr is aware of that.

I think South Carolina is a lost cause, but I have high hopes for North Carolina. I met many, many kind, caring, educated people when I lived there.

6. Indeed we are purple.

If any state needs to be audited, it's this one.

I'm 7 years in Western NC--unfortunately my rep is the other seditionist, Cawthorn. But Burr's decision and his statement make me (gulp) proud of him.

Lots of gen x new comers here, lots of democrats, too.

Already getting behind Jeff Jackson out of Charlotte for Senate in 2022, and hoping Mo Davis runs again.

8. I seriously thought of retiring there.

I'm not from there but I just love the geography of the state. Plus, I've found just as many racists here in Michigan as there are in the South.

9. My buddies are from Michigan here...

c'mon down! It's why we moved here, too. Great place to be retired. Or Peri-retired.

3. Love the inter-party fighting.

Orange Team vs. Red Team


Go Blue.

[Claire Oh Nette]

7. winner.

that made me smile.

5. What whiners....

Standing up for the Rule of Law and the Constitution no longer matters to the GOP. Neither are Principles, Values, Decency, Honor, etc.

The party platform now is IF YOU ARE NOT FOR TRUMP, then you are a RINO.
