North State Politics writes up the pseudo-controversy surrounding Gov. Pat McCrory’s game of catch:
Liberal types made some noise today about Gov. Pat McCrory having a game of catch outside his office yesterday instead of meeting a group of children who showed up at his office with a bunch of petitions protesting Republican policies.
Progress NC, an organizing arm for a number of progressive causes, has a news release you can read about that here, and they included a couple of pictures of the governor and his baseball glove.
North State links to WTVD’s piece:
“We kind of looked at each other and went, ‘That’s the governor. That’s the governor right there,'” said Rose Higgins.
Higgins says the governor was tossing the ball around for a few minutes before they snapped their pictures just feet from where the petitioners had been rallying 20 minutes earlier.
“I think their mentality is, in your face, ‘Na na na na na na. Have your little hippy protest and we’re going to carry on with our day,'” said Higgins.
Never mind the fact that politicizing kids is a joke anyway, no matter which side does it. Only problem is when the right politicizes kids, it’s indoctrination; when the left does it, it’s for the children.
