What happened in North Carolina yesterday was incomprehensible, team.
On a day most Americans were mourning and honoring the victims and first responders of 9/11, Republicans in North Carolina took advantage of an unthinkable tragedy to brazenly play games with our democracy.
In a shameless attempt to override Governor Roy Cooper's veto of the state budget because of their refusal to expand Medicaid, Republican legislators chose to call a vote on 9/11 when most Democratic members were not present.
As a veteran who chose to serve after 9/11, I consider the actions of North Carolina Republicans to be disrespectful and unconscionable.
What happened yesterday is yet another example of the fact that our politics is broken and corrupt -- and another reason why we must fight to fix it, together.
