News Report: Journalist Challenges Former North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper on Transgender Issues - Watch Here
Sassier Rewrite:
Hey there! Let's spill some tea on former North Carolina Governor, Roy Cooper. This dude's got some sketchy politics, and we're here to dish on his transphobic antics in women's sports. So buckle up!
Back when Cooper was ruling the Tar Heel State from 2017 to earlier this year, he made it his mission to let trans-identifying males compete in women's sports. Yeah, pretty gross, right?
In 2023, Cooper vetoed the "Fairness in Women's Sports Act," a bill that aimed to ban biological males from participating in girls' and women's sports. But, oops! The North Carolina legislators weren't having it and overrode his lame-ass veto.
So, what's Cooper's thinking behind this mess? Well, a journalist from TownHall.com asked him straight up: "Why do you support men being able to play women's sports?" Guess what? The guy hopped in his Uber faster than you can say "unbelievable!"
Clay Travis, our website founder, nailed it when he said that cowards like Cooper run away when challenged on these issues. C'mon, who would've thought a governor would flee from questions about trans athletes in women's sports?
But that's not all! The journalist also asked Cooper if he believed in there being two genders, and guess what? He chickened out again. Yep, just like when asked the same question before.
So, what's next for this dodgeball champ? Well, he ain't gonna be returning to politics anytime soon, but some high-ranking Democrats are still pumping him up for a U.S. Senate run.But if he does, people will know exactly where he stands on matters of biology. ('Cause we can't forget those true colors.)
