Related: About this forumMcCrory delivers cookies, protesters don’t like the message
Could he be more condescending and out of touch?
Gov. Pat McCrory hasn't been willing to meet with the women (and a few men) protesting an abortion bill that opponents say restricts access to safe abortions. But he did stop by this afternoon with a plate of chocolate chip cookies.
McCrory was flanked by four security guards as he came out of the mansion gates. Before stepping onto common ground with the protesters he went as far as the middle of the street between his mansion and the vigil McCrory pointed directly at Jamie Sohn, a Chapel Hill resident.
I was like, 'Me?' and he nodded, she said during an interview shortly after.
The security guards stopped incoming traffic. Sohn walked out into the street to meet McCrory.
Sohn said McCrory told her: 'These are for you. God bless you, God bless you, God bless you.' " He handed her the plate of cookies, and waved as he walked away. She said she was too stunned to say anything back.
