Former North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory (R) says the state's controversial "bathroom law" has made it difficult for him to land a job after leaving office.

McCrory said in an interview with a World Radio podcast, according to the News & Observer, that the backlash following the law “has impacted me to this day, even after I left office. People are reluctant to hire me, because ‘oh my gosh, he’s a bigot’ — which is the last thing I am.”

He blamed liberal advocates who opposed the law, which requires that transgender people use the bathroom corresponding to their biological sex as identified on their birth certificate, for damaging his reputation.

Maybe because you tanked your state's economy over some BS, shit does not look good on a resume.

According to the report, the North Carolina Democratic Party issued a statement in response to McCrory’s interview.

“North Carolina has already lost hundreds of millions of dollars in economic activity and thousands of jobs as a direct result of House Bill 2, but I guess we can start adding Gov. McCrory’s career to the total as well,” a spokesman said in a statement.

Did it get dark in here, or is that some shade?

But I am surprised he doesn't have a cushy gig at some conservative think tank or on the board of some company lined up. They usually take care of their own.

I am sure Trump can find something.

"I am not a bigot" - bigoted former NC governor

I want to ask him what it's like to be transphobic enough to purposely lose your state the NBA all star game, countless NCAA events and I'm sure some non sports shit I never paid attention to and to personally lose your job over it. Was it worth it you fucking bigot?

In the article they say he is still waiting for a phone call. McCory is probably too poor for Trump

My tranny bladder has no sympathy. In fact, I think I'm going to take a massive dump to celebrate it (and in the correct bathroom).

Name it Poop McCrory

How you like them apples, bitch?

I rarely thought about what jobs elected officials take after leaving office. Maybe a restaurant might take him?

Conservatives sure love to lay blame on liberal for their failings. How about you take responsibility for your actions? Pull yourself up by your bootstraps, etc?

It's not our fault you sucked at your job.

Nah he's a little snowflake that needs to go to the safe space of conservative talk radio to cry about his feelings. "It's those mean liberals fault, mommy! They hurt my fee fees!"

 

[deadlast]

Costing a state 100s of millions of dollars, because of pandering. Yeah I wouldn't hire your ass either.

Absolutely correct. The final thing he was, the thing he will be remembered for, is a bigot.

 

[deadlast]

Maybe he should seek employment with those people he signed that pledge to persecute the LGBTQ with.

I'm sure The Keep N.C. Safe Coalition, made up of three conservative religious organizations – Tami Fitzgerald’s N.C. Values Coalition, Mark Creech’s Christian Action League and John Rustin’s Family Policy Council - are looking for another lawyer to try and bring NC back to the dark ages.

 

[Beartruck]

Classic asshole behavior: "Its everyone else's fault that the things I did pissed them off!"

Also, if you have to regularly state "Im not a ____.", odds are good you are. I don't have to walk around saying "Im not an arsonist" because im not.

Stubborn till the end.

Hell yea. Fuck that asshole.

 

[necrosis]

can't imagine why people aren't chomping at the bit to hire a dude who did substantial damage to his state's economy entirely in the name of bigotry

Enjoy the freedom to live with the impact of your shitty decisions

Bigots shouldn't have jobs if you ask me so this is a fine result in my book.

I'm sure Fox would be glad to hire him as some point though, he's their kind of people.

Unfortunately, dude is just complaining. Plenty of people in this country would be happy to hire this man.
