Pat McCrory says the GOP is united on education, jobs, crime, and the size of government
Pat McCrory dropped in on the legislature Tuesday.
The Republican gubernatorial nominee made an appearance at a news conference with 30 Republican legislators.
Earlier in the morning, he was introduced to the Republican Senate caucus by state Sen. Fred Smith, a competitor in the GOP primary.
McCrory told reporters that the party is “a united front” on its goals of boosting the state’s education system, creating jobs, lowering crime and reducing the size of government.
Standing behind McCrory was state Sen. Robert Pittenger, a Charlotte Republican who won the party’s nomination for lieutenant governor, but McCrory failed to introduce him.
At the end of the news conference, Senate Minority Leader Phil Berger introduced Pittenger, and McCrory promptly apologized for forgetting him.
I have supported Pat McCrory from day one. I have been personally under attack by the left-wing of the Democratic party myself for laying the blame for failures in North Carolina at their feet. Since they control all three branches of government, I am still trying to figure out why they are trying to blame Republicans. I hope their confusion is not caused by their entrenched corruption.
