🚨North Carolina Democrat Senate Candidate Roy Cooper’s @RoyCooperNC Radical Open Border Madness and Hatred of @ICEgov EXPOSED 🚨

Ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, it’s important that we highlight the record of Senate Democrats @SenateDems who have worked hard to shut down the federal government because they care more about giving free healthcare to illegal aliens than representing actual US Citizens.

Former North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper, a Radical Democrat, has now decided to run for US Senate in North Carolina against @WhatleyNC.

He is running a basement campaign like Joe Biden as he pretends to be a moderate Democrat. But, North Carolina voters should not be fooled by Roy Cooper’s moderate facade.

Remember, in early 2019, Democrats shut down the government in an attempt to block funding for President Trump's border wall. Trump then signed a funding measure to reopen the government by stating he would declare a national emergency to allow his border wall to receive funding. Now, they have done it again.

As I exposed in August, Chuck Schumer and his deranged Senate Democrats seem extra eager to cover up Roy Cooper’s radical history of open-border policies. Cooper’s official X account from when he was governor (@NC_Governor) was not archived and was instead taken over by Josh Stein, leading users to see Stein’s name next to Cooper’s old posts. One of the posts covered up by this dirty trick is a 2018 X post from Cooper announcing that he is pulling North Carolina National Guard members from the border, with Cooper even signing the post “RC.”

However, despite the Democrats’ best efforts to cover up Cooper abandoning and opposing President Trump’s secure border mission, the Democrat Governors Association still has a clip up on their YouTube page highlighting a local North Carolina news report about Cooper pulling troops from the border. In the news clip, Cooper’s remarks to reporters implied that North Carolinians’ safety was not affected by open borders.

Roy Cooper has also embraced policies and organizations that express a violent hatred for ICE, which is notable in this age of ICE targeting by radical left activists and Democrat members of Congress.

In 2019, then-Governor Cooper vetoed House Bill 370, titled “Require Sheriff Cooperation/ICE,” which would have mandated that sheriffs comply with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainers and administrative warrants for individuals in their custody.

Part of Cooper’s rationale for his veto was that forcing North Carolina sheriffs to work with ICE would create “fear” in North Carolina, with his statement reading, “This legislation is simply about scoring partisan political points and using fear to divide North Carolina.”

Roy Cooper vetoed HB 370 at the request of hundreds of far-left groups, including the radical ACLU, who accused President Trump of using ICE as his personal police force.

In their statement calling on Cooper to veto the bill, it read, “Susanna Birdsong, Senior Policy Counsel for the @ACLU of North Carolina, one of the groups urging Cooper to veto said, ‘This dangerous bill strips local law enforcement of their ability to make decisions in the best interest of public safety, forcing every county in North Carolina to divert resources to do the bidding of President Trump’s deportation force whether they want to or not. Governor Cooper should put a stop to this extreme agenda, stand up for local law enforcement, and veto this bill without delay.’”

Other radical groups that called on Cooper to veto HB 370 include the Detention Watch Network, whose website calls for blocking ICE. Cooper also followed the will of the radical group Mijente, whose website has a post that says, “Calling All Latinx Therapists Into Action to Abolish ICE.” Siembra North Carolina, which calls for the abolishment of ICE, also called for Cooper to veto HB 370.

Here’s more screenshots showing which groups were listed on a letter calling for Governor Roy Cooper to VETO HB 370.

In comparison, Donald Trump criticized then-Governor Cooper for his radical open-border policies, including Cooper’s VETO HB 370.

President Trump posted a tweet in 2019 that said, “North Carolina Governor Cooper Vetoed a Bill that would have required Sheriffs to cooperate with ICE. This is a terrible decision for the great people of North Carolina. He should reverse his decision and get back to the basics of fighting crime!”

Roy Cooper’s donors are also radical, anti-ICE conspiracy theorists.

According to FEC records, Alex Soros donated to Cooper’s reelection campaign for Governor in 2019. Alex Soros recently shared a post falsely and ridiculously accusing President Trump of using ICE as his personal “private army” force to “ruin” American democracy.

Democrat Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer seems to have a strong liking for Roy Cooper, as he released a statement in July reading, “Governor Cooper is a formidable candidate who will flip North Carolina’s Senate seat, and his announcement is the latest indication that the Republicans’ Senate majority is at risk in 2026.”

With all of these facts in mind, it should leave the people of North Carolina with little doubt that Cooper would have voted with Schumer to shut down the government for illegal immigrants.

Not to mention, he was one of the Democrats up for consideration to run as Kamala Harris’s VP when she ran for President in 2024. Cooper supported Kamala Harris’s open border platform, and he hasn’t changed.

Don’t let the Democrats tell you they don’t prioritize illegal aliens over American citizens.
