North Carolina GOP Lawmaker Under Fire For Calling Black Lives Matter Protesters 'Vermin' On Facebook

I am going to put in a plug here for my friend Gail Young, who is running against Larry Pittman.

I met Gail working on efforts to end gerrymandering in NC. https://t.co/GTWDRT69UU

Here is NC House member Larry Pittman describing BLM protesters as "vermin" and telling police to "shoot them" if they "resist and attack" police. Mr. Pittman is in a competitive race in a new un-gerrymandered district that could determine control of the NC House this November https://t.co/8EmrBZxmEb

Larry Pittman brings the GOP to another new low. The GOP caters to the dregs of humanity but Pittman is at that subhuman level reserved for the Hitlers & Trumps of the world. A species that exists only to hate & hurt. https://t.co/aFiHdIj5vD

If you ever want to know why it's necessary to defeat the North Carolina GOP, I have one name for you: Larry Pittman.

Here's what Pittman, state rep from Cabarrus County and Republican opponent of the Long Leaf Pine Slate, has to say about Black Lives Matter. #ncpol pic.twitter.com/zptYJS2AR4

Today, GOP Rep. Larry Pittman called #blm protesters “ignorant thugs," “criminals," “domestic terrorists" and “vermin." If they resist police, he said they should “shoot them."

I just donated to @gailyoungNC because the #NCGA deserves better.

NC State Representative Larry Pittman (Rep) says Black Lives Matter protesters are "vermin", "thugs" and "terrorists". He also says police can "shoot them."

Pittman, himself, was one of the lead protesters at the recent Reopen-NC rallies. #ncpol https://t.co/Dae3lZY5gC

Surely at some point, the obvious racism is enough for even NC to act. Are they going to put Larry Pittman on the board next?

Why is the @NCGOP, and every single member of their Party silent about Larry Pittman?

If you identify as a Republican in North Carolina, you are racist. #ncpol https://t.co/f09yZluzfc

Larry Pittman is the best example of the complete nuttery that power, unchecked by voter accountability, breeds in our state legislature.
