Black Conservative Pastors Stand Behind #HB2

Posted on May 24, 2016 by

I’ve recapped today’s press conference held by over 50 pastors in NC who came out in support of Governor McCrory and HB2, while decrying the Obama administration for their comparison of transgender access to civil rights.

They called out Roy Cooper and Rev. William Barber for their positions against HB2. ‘Barber doesn’t speak for us’ they said.

There is also video of the presser, including questions from the media.

      There was a lot of media there. That means 30 seconds on the evening news, if that.
      Expect the news and observer to do hit pieces on all that spoke out.
