Roy Cooper's career of partisan rhetoric and Trump Derangement is finally coming to light, no thanks to the NC legacy media.
In a new Fox News report, Cooper's rhetoric places him alongside Maine socialist Graham Platner and Michigan communist Abdul El-Sayed in the level of attacks leveled at President Trump and Republicans.
A handful of Democratic hopefuls are under scrutiny for comments made before the apparent third assassination attempt against President Donald Trump that appeared to support violence against Republicans.
Political rhetoric, particularly the kind that skews toward violent or aggressive imagery from Democrats, and its role in political violence have time and again come under the microscope during Trump's second term in office.
After the apparent third assassination attempt against Trump over the weekend, in which alleged shooter Cole Allen was subdued by federal law enforcement during the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner in Washington, D.C., the Senate's campaign arm is putting a spotlight on aggressive comments three hopefuls, Graham Platner, Abdul El-Sayed and former Gov. Roy Cooper, made in the past.
Former North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, who is running to flip retiring Sen. Thom Tillis', R-N.C., seat in the upper chamber, blasted Trump as a "threat to democracy" and argued that "defeating him is imperative" during the 2024 presidential cycle.
The article is actually somewhat kind to Cooper, given the his own comments on video:
Please, keep telling us how "moderate" Roy Cooper is...
