Discussion: Megyn Kelly Grills North Carolina Guv Over Anti-LGBT Law (VIDEO)

Yeah, everywhere I go and everyone I talk to with children is perpetually in fear of people walking into the wrong bathroom and violating their children’s privacy. You can’t even have a conversation with young parents without the subject taking over the discussion, to the near exclusion of everything else. They’re paralyzed with fear, some of them taking time off work to camp outside their legislator’s doors and demand action. Frankly I don’t understand how state legislatures devote time to anything else with this danger lurking.

At the least, Megyn helps keep this obnoxious idiot in the limelight. He probably likes it. It’s good for his state, isn’t it? You know, blame the rock stars who cancel their shows. Blame the sports figures and corporations for their idiocy (NCAA, etc). Blame everyone else for the fact that business, even small businesses now within NC, are fighting back against this GOP governor. It’s not HIS problem, it’s yours and mine (not mine really - I could care - like Trump says, it works fine now, don’t change what is working).

‘This is an issue that the left started’…uh yeah…because all transgendered people are leftists that want to pee in the bathroom of their new sex…and most of them are molesters. Ok yeah. So you HAD to pass a law because…mumble mumble something and call it a ‘bathroom law’ never acknowledging the OTHER parts of the law that are restrictive to other cities and towns in your state because those LEFTISTS STARTED IT. Ummmmmmm.

"Typically, male molesters are heterosexual and if they want to sneak into a bathroom they’ll do it," Kelly said. “But 90 percent of the cases of molestation happens with someone you know. So what is the fear about the transgender situation and the bathrooms?”

Well, alright, Megyn Kelly, I’ll give you kudos here. Excellent statement and question. Allowing the NC governor to continue trying to shift “blame” onto the left doesn’t speak well to your abilities (or intentions?) but at least you hit a home run with that initial statement because that’s the gist of this whole “fear” factor – there is nothing to “fear.”

PBS Newshour had a great segment on this. If they hadn’t identified their guests as transgender, it would not have been obvious at all. Guess what! They both went to a lot of time, money and expense to look like who they want to be! She looked like a woman! He looked like a man! For the life of me I can’t understand why Republicans are the party of dictating that he must go into the women’s room and she into the mens! It makes no sense at all.

Did the hairdo “grill” him on what he thinks about his Democratic opponent Roy Cooper, NC Attorney General leading him in the upcoming governor’s race.

He is just really, really bad at defending this law. You would think as much practice as he is getting, he would be improving, but he isn’t. He seems to actually be getting worse.

“Well, first of all, I can’t believe we’re talking about this,” McCrory replied. “This is not an issue that I started. This is an issue that the left started, not the right. It’s not just women’s bathrooms.”

He can’t believe they are talking about this? Why? He signed a bill that is about policing bathroom usage. Why wouldn’t actual bathroom usage come up in the discussion?

This is not an issue that he started? Sure it is…Charlotte passed an ordnance disallowing discrimination, and you and your cohorts went apeshit crazy because you LIVE for discriminating people. So in the middle of the night you wrote down a bunch of draconian measures to allow you to discriminate on an even wider basis, about shit you don’t even understand.

And buddy, its ALL about women’s bathrooms. You and your buddies drool and fantasize about a person with lady parts coming into a men’s bathroom.

"McCrory, who was quick to shift the blame throughout the interview, stood by his argument that it wasn’t fear that prompted the legislation—it’s “common sense.” "

No…its the lack of common sense that is causing your state to hemorrhage money and businesses right now. I hate to say it, but Kelly basically laid out the “common sense” with regards to the bathrooms. Women don’t expose themselves to each other in the bathroom like men do. They don’t use urinals. Though I have little doubt that little tidbit of knowledge came as a complete shock to McCrory and his idiot cabal.

Yes yes! We want our sons to be safe! We want them to be in a locker room with ONLY members of the same gender! Like Dennis Hastert!

By the end of the interview, I think he had blood coming out of somewhere.

Good one! Hah!

Stamp out Bathroom Benghazi Terrorists! They are the scourge of our nation!!

Personally, I’m sick of his ridiculous responses on the whole matter. At this point I just want someone to ask him pointedly about his rapidly darkening hair. What was just a few weeks ago a mop of silvery white is now darkening by the day.

Is it a medical condition? Is he on hormone therapy himself? Is there something else McCrory really wants to talk about?

I know right? I can’t believe that we have to talk about this in 2016 either. I mean, it seems like common sense.

He didn’t start this bs, the religious right wing nuts did. He just bought into it because the republican business types like himself use to string along and pull in the religious nuts’ votes. This one just happened to came back and bit him in the ass. And all I can say is ha ha ha you dumb fuck, enjoy what you and your already rich, but somehow just need to be richer friends created…she’s talking about it because you’d signed it Pat…dumb ass! He probably thought this would pave his way into re-election for Governor. It just makes me laugh my ass off that it’s blown up in his smug lying face!

Or more entertainingly, a conversation that begins with something like: Daddy, why is that person in a dress and high heels going into the men’s room?

Too bad for McCrory. Everything went wrong with this. The guts of the bill actually restricts employees’ right to sue employers for discrimination of any type (race, gender, sexual orientation), freezes the minimum wage at $7.25 and bans local governments from passing ordinances that are less restrictive than the state law. This was legislation pre-written (probably by ALEC) and ready to go.

When Charlotte passed its ordinance allowing transgenders to use whatever bathroom suited their gender identity, the Republican state legislature jumped into action. The governor called an expensive special session, they tacked this ridiculous bathroom restriction onto their ready-to-go bill (thinking it would get all the attention and surely be uncontroversial) and passed/signed it within 12 hours.

Little did they know the bathroom part would be VERY controversial. McCrory and his henchmen can’t believe anyone would be against it. Now he’s going to have to answer for it in every interview up to his loss in the next election.

McCrory should be proud of his performance in his tryout for Dancing With The Stars. He was just brilliant. The dance steps blaming the “left” for the need for the bill were just superb. I have noticed that the “blame the left” has caught on big time with the Pubbies even though the bathroom bills have all been passed by red state Pubbie legislatures. If you ask the same Pubbies what kind and how big the problems were with transexuals using bathrooms before the bills were passed, not one single Pubbie can provide an answer. The Pubbie clown car tried to look good for the far out holy roller wing nuts and succeeded in looking like a bunch of, well, clowns.

All good Pubbies know that the Dennis Hastert thing “was different.” I’m sure you know what I mean.
