Wherein @WRAL calls @markrobinsonNC (a Black man) and Olivia Oxendine (Native American) KKK members for objecting to Critical Race Theory being embedded into NC Social Studies & History standards.

Disgusting.

#NCpol #NCed #NCGA
@WRAL @markrobinsonNC One of the other Board Members (Amy White) that @WRAL attacked as a KKK member is the Executive Director of Community of Hope Ministries... which was awarded the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Dream in Action Award in 2017.

Such vile mendacity.

#NCpol #NCed #NCGA
The political left & their media allies are doing irreparable damage to society by calling everyone a racist - for disagreement on policy.

I mean this honestly & sincerely... @WRAL & its ownership can take their race-baiting bigotry and go straight to hell.

#NCpol
@WRAL "But, Pete! The newsroom is separate from the Editorialists!"

Sorry, but no.
According to the standards established by WRAL, associates of the organization must disavow or defend this grotesque smear against POC.

The Standard:

#NCpol #NCed #NCGA
Just moments ago, @TravisFain tweeted this very standard.

Will he and his colleagues abide it?

Or is it simply a weapon employed in specific circumstances to damage particular targets?

#NCpol #Journalisming
Does @PolitiFactNC fact-check political cartoons published under their mutual masthead at @WRAL?

Or do colleagues get a free pass on this kind of repugnant racialized rot?

KICKER:

Apparently, the white dude who made this grotesque attack is an 8th Grade Social Studies teacher in Smithfield.

NC Gov's COVID briefing gets underway now.

He starts with rundown of case counts, hospitalizations, deaths.

ncdps.gov/news-conference

#ncpol
Numbers are trending down.
But we must not let our guard down.
3Ws
Protecting public health has been top priority.
We took decisive & strong actions.
We've relied on science.
Now it's time to get kids back in classroom.
#ncpol
Gov:
Our top priority has been getting kids back into the classroom.
Schools are where kids learn social skills. Get meals. Find their voices.
New research says in-person learning is safe - with protocols.
I urge all districts to provide in-person option.

@NC_Governor Roy Cooper is fixin' to do a COVID briefing.

Live tweeting to commence.

Again, my apologies to non-#NCpol folks.
ncdps.gov/news-conference
Cooper starts with case counts, hospitalizations, death toll.
Numbers have stabilized. Good.
But numbers are too high.
Virus is still spreading. A new contagious variant in NC.
Can't let guard down.
Do the 3 Ws.

#NCpol
Cooper:
Top priority is getting vax to people as quickly & equitably as possible.
We've administered 99.8% of first doses rec'd from fed gov't.
Sticking point is lack of supply.
We have 1,000s of shots. But we have MILLIONS of people who need them.

Governor's COVID briefing begins.
ncdps.gov/news-conference
I'll be live-tweeting.

#NCpol
Gov:
Unfortunately, This virus did not disappear at midnight on New Year's Eve.
96 counties are now labeled as critical or significant spread.
We must treat it as the deadly threat is.
New deadly strain found in USA.
Double down on 3Ws.
Extending #SHEO for 3 weeks.

#NCpol
Gov:
I will keep all the restrictions in place. Health Sec. Mandy Cohen will issue a "Secretarial directive" about how everyone should not leave their homes.

Getting vax out quickly is top priority. We'll do everything to do so.
Cohen is doing a great job at this.

The Governor's COVID briefing begins in about 5 minutes.

As always, I'll be live-tweeting... so, my apologies to non- #NCpol folks!
:)

Here's the video link: ncdps.gov/news-conference
Governor enters, takes the podium, smiling, welcomes everyone, then runs down the case numbers & death toll of COVID.

#NCpol
Gov:
Lots of spread. Don't get numb to these numbers - that have plateaued over the last few weeks. But they are still too high.
Thanks for local gov't & LEO enforcing my orders.
Also, thoughts & prayers to cops shot in line of duty.

Getting ready to live tweet the Governor's COVID briefing.

Will a reporter ask whether and when he's going to crack down harder? Will TWO reporters ask this question?

Let's see!

You can watch here:

#NCpol
Gov. Cooper runs down case counts, hospitalizations and deaths.
There is real hope we can stop loss of life. First vaccines arrived. I talked with UPS driver who made that delivery - first in country.
We spent months prepping for this moment.

#NCpol
Gov:
We expect more doses next week after next round of approval.
Still need clarity from feds on how many doses we'll get.
Feds tell us weekly how many doses we get & we need more time to plan. VP Pence said they'd work on it.
