@votetylerlee @DHSgov Do you have evidence to support this claim?

I’ve been told by local citizens this has been happening in Huntersville #NC13 at big box retail locations. Feds aren’t notifying anyone, just making secret drops at 3am. When I’m elected, we won’t fund this illegal operation by @DHSgov.

In October, Cheri Beasley announced she wants to eliminate the filibuster. Prior to that, was she “always very clear” about wanting reform? Review the US Senate candidate’s comments here. #ncpol wral.com/fact-check-che…

Fact check: Mark Robinson says AG Josh Stein decided to “go after” Jan. 6 protesters… But has “said nothing” about protestors who got violent in North Carolina, and was “derelict in his duty” for not prosecuting them. #ncpol wral.com/fact-check-mar…
