WASHINGTON, D.C. — Radical Roy Cooper announced his intention to run for the U.S. Senate in North Carolina today and his extreme record is already being exposed.
Cooper is an incompetent, far-left career politician and a wreck for North Carolina:
Failed Democrat Vice Presidential Nominee Tim Walz: “I know he’ll make a fantastic Senator for the great state of North Carolina.”
Failed Democrat Presidential Nominee Kamala Harris: “Democrats have the best chance to [take back the Senate]” with Roy Cooper.
California Senator Adam Schiff: “America needs [Roy Cooper].”
NRCC Chair Richard Hudson (R-NC): “Roy Cooper spent decades dragging North Carolina left, and now he wants to do the same to America. Roy Cooper supports men playing in girls’ sports and raising taxes on working families. Roy Cooper marched with protestors and then let them burn Raleigh. And Roy Cooper assured all of America that Joe Biden was perfectly capable of being President for four more years. Roy Cooper doesn’t want to make America great again; he just wants to take America Left.”
Rep. Addison McDowell (R-NC): “Folks won’t forget Roy Cooper called MAGA a ‘threat to democracy,’ he’s pals with Kamala, and believes Sleepy Joe ‘saved the nation.’ The reality is Cooper backs open borders, higher taxes, and boys in girls sports. Cooper’s a RADICAL Dem loyalist and WRONG for NC.”
Sen. Phil Berger, State Senate Leader: “Roy Cooper is attempting to rewrite his record. He consistently opposed balanced budgets and vetoed teacher pay raises when they didn’t include his radical, far-left policies. He shuttered businesses and needlessly kept children out of school. He refused to stand up for women and girls and promoted the interests of criminal illegal aliens over the safety of our citizens. And when North Carolina citizens needed him to step up during Hurricanes Matthew, Florence, and Helene, he bogged them down with bureaucratic red tape and left them homeless…”
Rep. Brenden Jones, State House Majority Leader (R-NC): “Roy Cooper mismanaged hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars as Governor and now he wants a promotion to the U.S. Senate. If he couldn’t handle North Carolina’s budget, just imagine the disaster he’d be with trillions in federal spending.”
Jason Simmons, North Carolina GOP Chairman: “Roy Cooper can run, but he can’t hide from his 40-year radical record. From raising taxes, closing schools, pardoning violent criminals, and failing during hurricane recovery, he has consistently sided with left-wing interests over families and small businesses. He will do everything he can to work against President Trump in the U.S. Senate. We won’t let that happen and we will keep this seat for Republicans in 2026.”
Tim Scott, NRSC Chairman: “Democrat Roy Cooper has been a wreck for North Carolina. Men in women’s sports. Higher taxes. Closing schools. Violent criminals on the streets. Our neighbors in North Carolina know he is too out of touch to represent them in the Senate.”
Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR): “Roy Cooper supports gender mutilation surgeries for kids. He supported men using women’s bathrooms. He wants men to play in women’s sports. He should run for Senate in California — not North Carolina.”
Republican Jewish Coalition: “The @NCDemParty recently passed a resolution calling for an arms embargo against Israel, during an ongoing war against Iran-backed terrorists— @RoyCooperNC’s response? Silence. Appeasing and embracing haters of Israel is a feature of today’s Democratic Party, not a bug.”
Pamela McNabb, Mother of high school athlete injured by Cooper’s transgender sports policies: “You destroyed the lives of our youth and let our elderly die alone during Covid. 888 days of some form of shutdowns. You allowed our girls to be put [in] harm’s way in ALL their spaces.”
Andrew Dunn, Columnist for Raleigh News & Observer: “The image Cooper sells in his U.S. Senate announcement collapses under the weight of his actual record.”
Breanna Morello, Breanna Morello Show: “Roy Cooper would be an awful pick. He abandoned Americans after Hurricane Helene. Four days he would not allow certain rescue teams in the area. He should be criminally charged, not applying for a promotion.”
Townhall: “Former Governor of North Carolina Roy Cooper announced he’s running for Senate. In May he couldn’t even answer a simple question about WHY he supports men competing in women’s sports. Very embarrassing!”
Stephen Horn, Independent Journalist: “The tyrant who trampled our rights and had demonstrators arrested for opposing his executive orders while he himself did a photo op at BLM protest.”
Igor Bobic, Huffington Post: “Something funny about 68-year old NC candidate & potentially a 77 year old in ME being the Dem saviors right now”
