Cheryl Mensch: HB2 no joke

Regarding the July 27 news article “Trump swings at nitwits who made us ‘the stupid people’ ”: I was appalled to learn about Gov. Pat McCrory’s bathroom “joke.”

As the person who signed this flawed piece of legislature into law and who has been roundly criticized for doing so, it boggles the mind that he would use House Bill 2 as humor at the political rally.

Truly, what does this say about the man who currently leads this state? To me is says that he should be a one-term governor so that a better qualified and more intelligent person can take over the management of this state.
