Unsurprisingly, WRAL forgot to mention some relevant and important information
North Carolina lawmakers passed a pro-Israel resolution in the state House and read a pro-Israel statement onto the Senate’s official record, as the country’s conflict with Hamas intensified Tuesday. (snip)
The House resolution passed with a vote of 104-0 in the 120-seat chamber. Twelve Democrats were listed in the final count as “not voting.” They are: Rep. John Autry, D-Mecklenburg, Rep. Amber Baker, D-Forsyth, Rep. Gloristine Brown, D-Pitt, Rep. Kanika Brown, D-Forsyth, Rep. Maria Cervania, D-Wake, Rep. Terence Everitt, D-Wake, Rep. Pricey Harrison, D-Guilford, Rep. Nasif Majeed, D-Mecklenburg, Rep. Marcia Morey, D-Durham, Rep. Renée Price, D-Orange, Rep. Diamond Staton-Williams, D-Cabarrus, Rep. Julie von Haefen, D-Wake.
Well, I can understand WRAL not knowing what’s going on, same as many other outlets, since their reporters barely leave the office, they just read tweets.
(Carolina Journal) Speaker Tim Moore, R-Cleveland, led the debate as the NC House voted unanimously Tuesday for House Resolution 897. It urges Congress to support Israel in response to unprovoked attacks from terrorist group Hamas.
However, a group of 12 House Democrats walked out of the chamber rather than vote on the resolution. It passed, 104-0.
Yeah, they didn’t not vote, they walked out. On a very simple resolution. Were they trying to not piss off the Muslims in their communities, who really do hate Israel and Jews?
???? I stand with President Biden & our NC Democratic congressional delegation in condemning the terrorist attacks by Hamas in Israel. Brutal violence has no place in our society and my heart and prayers are with everyone affected by this horrible war.

She stands so much that she walked out of the vote. Nor will she condemn Islamists like Rashiada Tlaib and Ilhan Omar. And, none of the NC Credentialed Media have asked her or the others to explain their walking out on a vote. She’s probably not going to answer me, especially since I’m not in her NC House district.
