NC Young Republicans & Black Lives Matter joined forces to picket NCGOP HQ
Without the evidence that came over my transom, I would have found this hard to believe. Remember when the “Defund The Police” / “Black Lives Matter” / DEMOCRAT mob marched on state GOP HQ in Raleigh? Well, guess who lined up the permit for the march on and protest at NCGOP HQ?
None other than the North Carolina Federation of Young Republicans (NCFYR). Yes, boys and girls, that’s right. And HERE — as proof — is a copy of the march permit they obtained.
If you read the linked permit, you will see it was obtained, on behalf of the NCFYR, by someone named Charlie Mulligan. Mulligan, it turns out, is the “grassroots director” for NCFYR and a close ally of NCFYR chairman Catherine Whiteford.
Let’s go back to the language Mulligan used in the protest permit. According to Mulligan, the purpose of the protest was “To march in solidarity with those protesting the death of George Floyd and Police brutality.”
*Beautiful.*
This is not the first time Whiteford and her gang have graced the pages of this website. Whiteford was on the NCGOP payroll while she ran a quixotic state House campaign against an incumbent Democrat.
She also complained that the GOP needs to find more ways to “work with Democrats” and that the party needs to be more open to “progressives.”
Can we form a new party in NC. Let the lib GOP, RINO GOP, never-Trump GOP, Establishment GOP and GOPe HAVE the party. We need a Conservative Party. Dem heavy Robeson Co voted overwhelming Republican this yr. They are not voting for any of the above nonsense. I’m NOT either. If Walker and Tillis and the likes are on a GOP ticket anytime in the future, lights out for me supporting them. The Ga Senators are doing their best to lose the election in-part because they can’t determine who they support and what they support.
well we should run the people with terrible values out of the party. How do you know someone is terrible well first if they say the Republican party is a Big Tent that is the first sign they should go
Why post this now? This news is old (but important). Whiteford has always been an embarrassment to the conservative Republican Party members who know her. She is expected to face significant opposition if she runs for Chair again. If she has enough support to win, and if the YRs are the heirs to the Republican Party, we’re in big trouble.
Really? Who is going to oppose the woman who grew the YRs from like 4 clubs, the like, 25 clubs in a year? ??? It’s hilarious, you have no idea what you’re even talking about, which is fine because you’re obviously irrelevant. This article is a lie. The protestors were in NO way affiliated with BLM, there was no chanting of defund the police, no justice no peace, or anything like that. The March was put on so that people concerned with police brutality could speak with Republicans. Because – as one of the lead protestors noted “we’re thankful for these Republicans listening to our concerns, the Democratic party won’t listen to us.”
…. So, thank GOD there are people like Ms. Whiteford who bring people into the republican party and are GROWING our party…. Unlike you and the clown who wrote this article.
Go back into your Big Tent. Your queen barely missed a recall election this year.
If the word “solidarity” is in any of your printed material you might be a socialist. Dear Steve, this is how progressives took over our schools………….inch by inch, foot by foot, mile by mile…..
Spot on Betsy, as usual.
Folks, I’ve had it with NCGOP. I’ve sent leadership and local reps a terse letter. DONE with the party, DONE with them doing nothing (just as DC GOP have done nothing pre & post election to ensure MAGA, USA First), DONE with them enriches themselves and being wrought with power, control, greed and lawlessness (again, akin to their DC brethren).
I’ve copied all my contacts with said letter and asked them to circulate. IT IS TIME TO TAKE AWAY GOP POWER WHEN THEY DO NOTHING. Gov Cooper for 9 mos has destroyed this state and continuing and likely getting worse. EVERY holiday, celebration in 2020 was cancelled. Easter, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and now Christmas and New Year’s. NOT ONE PEEP from NCGOP, leadership, Party…NOTHING. I’m LIGHTING THEM UP..THEY NEED TO LOSE THEIR SEATS. A random Tweet from NCGOP…doing what DC GOP does, whine, complain and then let’s do nothing…
I will CEASE to vote any Republican UNTIL I SEE FIRE from them, ACTION…..RESULTS….We’ve elected them (rural NC mostly) yr after yr after yr and we’ve seen nothing but corruption, greed and power for themselves.
TILLIS WON only because Cal is a whore monger. Tillis was a losing candidate only revived by Cal himself. HE DOESN’T DESERVE to be our Senator and in <30 days has already settled comfortably in the Swamp and will be back in 6Y with his usual plea to keep the Senate Republican…..
I'll vote random offices up and down the ballot, but for House and Senate NC; GOP will be void of my vote. US House and Senate; done with voting, always supporting GOP that does nothing but whines, complains and tweets…
It’s way past time for the NCGOP to put up or shut up. A lot of us are fed up with getting flushed down the toilet while our fearless leaders are doing nothing or worse yet singing cum ba yah with the Democrats. Hey dumba$$e$! It’s time to fight for our lives. Good grief.
The only conservative power we have is through the GOP, as flawed as they may be. Instead of threatening to take your ball and go home, you should get involved (more than just griping on the Internet) and effect change from within the party. Refusing to vote for a Republican is agreeing to vote for a Democrat. All you’re doing is bitching without offering a solution. Libertarian? Constitutional Party? All they accomplish is to help ensure that Republicans (some of them conservative) don’t win and that Democrats (none of them conservative) do. That attitude makes you as bad as the GOP in that respect. The saddest part is that your attitude pits conservatives against conservatives, part of Rules for Radicals. You and I probably agree on 95% of conservative issues and would work side-by-side for conservative candidates. Pitching a temper tantrum will not accomplish anything.
The National Committeeman of the NCFYR is a member of the NC House from Guilford County. I wonder what he thinks of his organization picketing NCGOP HQ over these hard left issues?
