Charlotte Mayor To Help Fired Grocery Store Worker Find A New Job [View all]
TOM KLUDT – FEBRUARY 19, 2014, 7:07 AM EST
The mayor of Charlotte is providing a safety net to the grocery store cook who was fired for throwing shade at North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory (R).
Drew Swope lost his job at Reid’s Fine Foods in Charlotte on Sunday after a confrontation with McCrory, who was visiting the store.
Swope, no fan of the Republican governor, said he simply told McCrory "thanks for nothing" before walking away. The remark set McCrory off, according to Swope.
"And he started yelling at me and eyes were bulging out of his head," Swope told TPM in a phone interview on Tuesday.
