Gov. Pat McCrory says he’s still pushing for changes in HB2

Gov. Pat McCrory said Friday he’s still pushing lawmakers to make changes in House Bill 2 before they adjourn.

One part of the law prohibits people from taking their anti-discrimination claims to state court.

He pretends to be the kinder gentler type of GOP clown when he's actually done anything and everything they tell him to do.
