Carole Rogers: McCrory wrong about Trump

Regarding the Oct. 16 Under the Dome item “RGA makes major ad buy in governor’s race”: Recently, Gov. Pat McCrory said he considered Donald Trump to be a good role model for our children. Does McCrory think a bigoted racist misogynist is a good role model for our children?

The tape of Trump bragging that he can sexually assault women and get away with it has flooded the media recently. Previously, Trump disparaged a respected judge for having Mexican heritage, encouraged open discrimination against American Muslims, and Muslims in general, he insulted all Mexicans and disparaged African-Americans.

Trump mocked a celebrated former prisoner-of-war, Sen. John McCain, who survived years of torture. He has encouraged violence at his rallies and suggested that someone harm his opponent.

McCrory thinks this person, Trump, is a good role model and should be our next president? I’m appalled! This is our governor?
