North Carolina Dems accuse Republicans of deception in vote to override governor’s budget veto
WTKR ^ | 9/11/19

**SNIP**

When the vote to overturn Cooper’s veto was brought up Wednesday morning, Democratic state Reps. Deb Butler and Mary Belk - some of the few Democrats on the House floor - voiced objection.

Butler accused Republicans of “trickery” and hijacking the democratic process.

“This is a travesty of the process and you know it,” Rep. Deb Butler said as the voting got underway.

She shouted several times, “We will not yield.”

“Our leadership is not present. This is improper,” Butler said, adding later, “There’s no one here, because we have been deceived.”

In a “tense” moment during the chaos, House Speaker Tim Moore, a Republican, called the sergeant-at-arms to attempt to remove her from the House floor, Butler recalled in an interview Wednesday night. But Butler’s Democratic colleagues surrounded her, preventing her from being removed or arrested, she said.

She went more batcrap crazy than usual. Lock her up.

Perhaps the North Carolina Democrats ought to try to win elections rather than lame attempts to grab a moment of the evening news.

Awe, the poor babies, it’s called politics and
is something the left does at every chance.

So, now should the left attempt to use the Sargent at arms
to remove a Republican it can just be defied by group action?

Laws and rules are for everyone else but democrats?
We have seen where this type of thinking leads.

From the article:

“Moore later said at a news conference that if Democrats didn’t want the bill to pass, “all they had to do was show up for work.””

There they go again, projecting, as usual.

“....the vote to overturn Cooper’s veto was brought up...”

These accusations being brought up at the exact same time the socialist led house changes the rules on the impeachment process of Trump that they have not found anything on related to him and cost the taxpayers millions? Why aren’t the conservative members pointing this out? This is why they fail.

It still has to pass on the Senate. They only need one RAT in order to sustain the veto. Great time to switch sides!

Every story about this talks about it being “9/11”. All of them mention that the governor was at a 9/11 event (which makes NO difference, since the governor has nothing to do with the house voting on anything). Most claim that the democrats were off at 9/11 events, and how this is very bad.

But in this article, if you wade through to near the end, you find this:

“At least one Democratic lawmaker was at a 9/11 ceremony, Barlow said.”

ONE. Apparently most of them were off doing other things.

Another Democrat media lie. 1) Democrats were NOT a 911 ceremonies - Democrats can’t even fake patriotism 2) the Democrats were TOLD there would votes conducted but disregarded that message so they could huddle to figure out how to best use the gerrymandering victory handed they by the courts. This was just another liberal lie.
