Democrats respond to lawmaker switching parties, giving GOP supermajority

Party chair Anderson Clayton used pointed words in her remarks.

[CRAFTOLOGIE]

Maybe Rep. Cotham didn’t want to see N.C. turn into Gotham?

"Many calling for her resignation"

About 25 people show up

[Love-qvnl]

I’ve switched party too. The Democrat party is a joke.

[franlynch]

They harassed her, she had enough. They drove her over to the other side.

[tomservo]

Do those Dems even realize they're just PROVING HER POINT and putting on full display why Cotham switched? By the way, Ms. Clayton, everyone still has the freedom to reproduce and LGBT people already have rights.

[mofosoto]

I wonder if they'd be calling for resignation if it was the other way around???

[stevendamon]

A quote from the Party Chair's speech on the steps; "We have Democrats that have voted their conscience, and we have allowed it."
Let that sink in for a minute.

Progressives should appreciate someone who was a Democrat and now self-identifies as a Republican, they don't seem to like the topic "non-binary" when it doesn't benefit them - they should respect who she is politically identifying as and her new pronouns (G//O//P).

“Free thinking, intelligent politicians...are on the line!”

[anonymousgaming]

Ofc always democrats saying resign but when mega says resign they are called criminals 🤣🤣

[eimisavageofficial]

She made the best decision in life ❤
Good job

[Colt-hxvq]

Lol also they can start slapping down the bs demo governor stupid laws. Hopefully the people of NC vote a America first governor in.

[kvasnaik]

I am so happy for her, she is coming to the working party of America who believe in freedom

[lizr]

Lol! Am I supposed to feel sorry for them? Couldn't have happened to a more deserving bunch! Hopefully this starts happening a lot more

[johnflorio]

Look how tolerant those liberal Democrats aren’t. 😆

[unklepauly]

Hahaha it's so funny to see liberals freak out 😂😂😂😂😂

[RaulLopez-iidu]

Amen to those Democratic who are brave enough to say enough is enough of the woke left socialist, communist and anti-God policies. It is about time!!!

[wandalovely]

Hahaha. Dems' are, ultimately, going to have to walk the line. Some of their mugs may end up as photos for a criminal line.😌

[anthonycarr]

Great news everybody should go with Republicans

[loriparks]

She was a republican from Jump. She's seen an opportunity for a seat that was available to win .
