Roy Asberry Cooper III is an illegal immigrant-coddling[2] far-left Democrat who is the governor of North Carolina. Victorious in the 2016 gubernatorial election in North Carolina by less than 0.1% of the vote,[3] Cooper has used his position as governor to promote radical agendas, one example evident in his veto of an "abortion survivors" bill.[4]
Governor of North Carolina
2016 North Carolina gubernatorial election
Cooper defeated then-incumbent Pat McCrory in the 2016 gubernatorial race by a slim margin of only 10,000 votes of the 4.7 million cast. Many including McCrory himself suspected voter fraud in the election, citing likely absentee voting in Bladen county in addition to potentially fraudulent ballots in 11 counties in addition.[5]
Tenure
Medicaid
On June 2017, Cooper announced that he was seeking federal approval for Medicaid expansion in North Carolina.[6]
Illegal immigration
Despite high rates of illegal immigrant crimes in North Carolina,[7][8] Cooper vetoed a Republican-led bill that sought to call on local enforcement agencies to cooperate with ICE.[9] This led to allowing sheriffs of liberal counties such as Garry McFadden to dishonor and effectively ignore ICE requests regarding illegal immigrant crimes.
Political positions
While On the Issues ranks Cooper's voting record as "moderate liberal",[10] his votes and positions abortion, same-sex "marriage", and illegal immigration make him much more left-wing than the website rated him at. However, Cooper is opposed to the legalization of marijuana, despite all his other liberal views.
