Former North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory is stepping down as national co-chair of No Labels just days after members of the independent group voted to move forward with a presidential ticket.

“I gave it my all for over a year as volunteer co-chair, but it is now time to move on,” the former Republican governor told NBC News. “I wish the best for the No Labels movement, the wonderful teammates I worked with and all those throughout the country who know that now more than ever, we must put country over party at all levels of government.”

No Labels did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday night. The Wall Street Journal first reported McCrory’s departure. McCrory had been listed on No Labels’ website as a national co-chair earlier on Wednesday, but his name was removed by the evening. Benjamin F. Chavis is still listed as national co-chair. Former Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., is the group's founding chairman.

No Labels has not yet announced a presidential ticket, though national convention chair Mike Rawlings said in a statement last week that the group wanted to "move immediately to identify candidates to serve on the Unity presidential ticket."

2. Pat is an old hand at Republican bait and switch. It is how he landed the Governor's seat in NC. I wouldn't take his

word on anything. If he's leaving it is only to allow them to put another pretty face in his place to support their ultimately false agenda.
