In reply to the discussion: Democrat switches parties, giving GOP veto-proof majority in NC House [View all]yardwork
(69,461 posts)84. I'm reading that she's having an affair with Tim Moore.
Also, it might be significant that the vote she missed last week was the veto override to allow permitless handgun purchases. I guess the NRA is giving her a lot of money.
The crap she's spouting about doing this because Democrats were mean to her makes my blood boil. This has been planned for a long time, I'm sure. I think she ran under false pretenses in this last election, in order to get a Republican elected into a deep blue district.
I'm furious. This was a typical NC Republican dirty trick. Democrats need to fight back, hard. The gloves need to come off.
