Looks like no one came, not much in the way of local media. Well, maybe one media outlet outside of Moral Monday’s official Media — WRAL, who had a live stream of the charade: Continue reading →

That tweet referenced at Facebook post from Mr. Fisher that read:

Things to consider as Democrats:

As we embrace HKonJ and also Valentine’s Day: let’s not forget that one of the first things the new leader of the North Carolina Democratic Party did in her official capacity was to fire a single mother with two children and a pregnant woman. ‪#‎newNCDP‬ ‪#‎ncpol‬ ‪#‎gotyourback‬
