How desperate is North Carolina's Governor Pat McCrory?

Desperate enough to plant fake questions at a presser, and then run away? Yup.

NC Governor Pat McCrory Planted Fake Questions at Presser to Avoid Grilling Over Anti-LGBT HB2

North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory planted fake questions at a press conference, posed by an unwitting moderator, to avoid having to answer real questions about the anti-LGBT HB2 law that has cost the state millions of dollars in lost revenue.

The first three questions at the press conference in Charlotte were said to be from the Charlotte Observer. But they weren’t. They were questions written by McCrory’s own staff. The moderator was “a volunteer from the lunch audience” simply reading them from a sheet of paper.

When the real Charlotte Observer reporter tried to pose a question, it was denied by McCrory: “We’ve got three Observer questions answered already. I think you guys dominate the news enough.”

It's a show that a lot of right-wingers listen to without being aware they are totally being laughed at. I was waiting for a friend at the doctor's office and really enjoyed listening today.

McCrory is a scum-sucking coward.
