North Carolina Guv's Campaign Blames Clintons For NBA Nixing All-Star Game

It's the Clintons' fault.

After the NBA announced on Thursday that the league would no longer hold the 2017 All-Star game in Charlotte, North Carolina, due to the state's anti-LGBT law, the re-election campaign of Gov. Pat McCrory (R) placed the blame where it squarely belonged: on Bill and Hillary Clinton.

"It is no surprise that the NBA has chosen to politically target North Carolina during an election year since Doug Sosnick, Bill Clinton's former White House Political Director, serves as the NBA's chief political advisor," the campaign said in a Thursday evening statement.

"While it would be front-page news if Karl Rove were advising an organization on how to inflict economic damage on a state to benefit the Republican's election prospects, this is standard operating procedure for the Clintons, who get away with it thanks to their friends in the media," the statement reads.

The heretofore unknown conspiracy between the Clintons' and the NBA to swing the election in a critical swing state has not been substantiated.
