CHARLOTTE, N.C. — North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper called out Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson on Tuesday on social media for a speech that Robinson gave saying he owns AR-15s in case “the government gets too big for its britches.”
“This is dangerous and not who we are as patriotic North Carolinians,” Cooper, a Democrat, tweeted, tagging Robinson, a Republican. Cooper said Robinson’s words shame the state.
He called Robinson’s speech “advocating violent overthrow of our (government).”
