"Republican state representative calls #BlackLivesMatter 'vermin' and 'terrorists,' encourages police to shoot them."

Believe it or not, this is classic Pittman. It isn't a gaffe. The guy is a loony bin and truly and sincerely believes this stuff.

He is also a pastor. 🤯 #ncpol
The pick for "worst person in the #NCGA" is a really tough one. A lot of good options. But for my money, Larry Pittman takes the cake.

The leadership of the North Carolina Republican Party and the House Republican caucus should immediately disavow this kind of murderous nonsense.

They'll only do so if people make enough noise. I'm sure they'd prefer people ignore it. #ncpol
