As my colleague and North Carolina girl Sister Toldjah has extensively covered, former governor and Democrat Senate candidate Roy Cooper has a decades-long political career which he has burnished by pretending to be an “Aww shucks,” moderate Democrat, while governing as a far left ideologue. The man talks out of both sides of his mouth, and he is doing his utmost to talk his way into the U.S. Senate seat which RINO Republican Sen. Thom Tillis will vacate in January 2027. Some of those lowlights during Cooper’s two terms as governor include his soft-on-crime policies which granted early release to prisoners and convicted child rapists, especially during the COVID pandemic. Then there are the multiple releases of DeCarlos Brown Jr., the alleged murderer of Iryna Zarutska. Cooper issued a 2020 executive order which allowed Brown to keep getting released, up until Zarutska’s horrific stabbing, which was caught on video. Then there are Cooper’s anti-ICE/sanctuary policies which allowed illegal aliens to make their way to North Carolina and commit crimes which cost peoples’ lives.

Their open border and sanctuary city polices allowed hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens into NC – including Mauricio Josue Alberto Sarmiento. [snip] The Department of Homeland Security detailed the tragic tale of how Bagley’s alleged killer, Mauricio Josue Alberto Sarmiento, was allowed to roam free: The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released the following statement after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged a detainer asking officials in Jackson County, North Carolina to not release an illegal alien charged with hit-and-run resulting in death. According to local reporting, the incident occurred on August 2 in Sylva, North Carolina. The victim, 51-year-old James Robert Bagley III, was struck by a vehicle shortly before three in the morning, with the driver fleeing the scene in their vehicle. Bagley was found unresponsive by first responders, who pronounced him dead at the scene. ICE lodged a detainer with the Jackson County Jail the same day Sarmiento was arrested. [snip] Sarmiento illegally entered the United States through Texas as an unaccompanied minor in October 2021, and was arrested by the U.S. Border Patrol. The Biden Administration then reunified him with an unrelated sponsor, RELEASING him into the country. The National Republican Senatorial Committee issued a press release about two other victims of criminal illegals allowed to walk free thanks to Cooper’s governance: Roy Cooper vetoed legislation requiring sheriffs to work with ICE seven years ago today, protecting criminal illegals from deportation. Cooper caved to pressure from a left-wing dark money group to veto the legislation. Cooper would veto two more bills requiring local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE. [snip] “For 40 years, radical leftist Roy Cooper fought to protect criminal illegals, including murderers and rapists turning North Carolina into a sanctuary state,” said NRSC Regional Press Secretary. Cooper was governor in October 2021. No doubt he was already making plans to take over the North Carolina Senate seat; so, most of his moves involved amping up his leftist street cred in preparation for a national run. Whatley let him have it here in an “anniversary” message: [snip] Cooper is relying on the short memory of voters, but Whatley is going hard in the paint to remind them of Cooper’s leftist penchants and terrible governance. It would be a crime if Cooper is allowed to serve on the national level. Literally, the lives of North Carolinians – and all Americans – are at stake. Roy Cooper’s decision to release thousands of criminals – including pedophiles, rapists and murderers – was the most reckless and dangerous decision ever made by a North Carolina Governor.He is a disgrace.pic.twitter.com/G1fgTpqpHP— Michael Whatley (@WhatleyNC) July 24, 2026 (*) Full article: https://redstate.com/jenniferoo/2026/08/21/michael-whatley-hammers-home-roy-coopers-sanctuary-record-which-has-resulted-in-unnecessary-death-n2205904 Post navigation Sick Democrat freak tries to BULLY Nick Shirley!
