Tricia Cotham, the supposedly Democratic representative from NC who switched parties 3 months after being elected, allowing the state to go full Gilead on abortion rights, was apparently a Republican plant.

They defrauded voters. This should not be allowed to stand.

#NorthCarolina Gov. Roy Cooper has the right idea about anti-#trans bills: ""We don't need politicians inflaming their political culture wars by making broad, uninformed decisions about an extremely small number of vulnerable children that are already handled by a robust system that relies on parents, schools, and sports organizations." Unfortunately, Republicans likely have enough votes to override his vetoes, thanks to turncoat #TriciaCotham. https://www.commondreams.org/news/north-carolina-cooper-veto-lgbtq
NC Gov. Vetoes 'Dangerous, Cruel, and Deeply Unpopular' Anti-LGBTQ+ Bills

While pushing state legislators to "do the right thing," said one campaigner, "we remain clear-eyed that families should take steps to prepare if anti-LGBTQ+ legislation is enacted."
