Former Gov. Pat McCrory says the backlash against House Bill 2 is making it difficult for him to land a new job after he left office.
McCrory has been appearing frequently on national media outlets to defend the controversial LGBT law, but he hasnt announced whats next for his career. In a podcast interview recently with WORLD, an Asheville-based evangelical Christian news website, McCrory talked about his challenges on the job market.
The former Republican governor says HB2 has impacted me to this day, even after I left office. People are reluctant to hire me, because, oh my gosh, hes a bigot which is the last thing I am.
Later in the interview, McCrory wouldnt say if hes being considered for a job in President Donald Trumps administration. But he praised Trump, calling him a breath of fresh air.
McCrory said the liberal groups opposing HB2 have harmed his reputation. If you disagree with the politically correct thought police on this new definition of gender, youre a bigot, youre the worst of evil, he said. Its almost as if I broke a law.

(3,827 posts)I loved the job, and I would never rule out running again, McCrory said. Ive got to ask my wife. I dont know what my feeling will be two or three years from now. If I do decide to run, it will be curious if the conservatives stick with me.

I wish him a rapid journey to the scrapheap of history.

(3,813 posts)Hey McCrory, you rudderless wreck; maybe if people thinking you were anything but a bigot was important to you, you might have vetoed an awful, ridiculous, utterly bigoted law?!?!
Go founder on a rock, you worthless shell of a human being.
