She continued, “I will be donating all of the profits from the show to Equality North Carolina’s efforts to repeal HB2 and I am proud of my manager and agent for joining me in this effort by donating their commissions from the show to this vital effort”.
NBC estimates that North Carolina conservatively has lost $39.7 million since the governor signed the bill from businesses protesting the discriminatory legislation. “And I signed an executive order which protects all state employees, in the ninth-largest state in United States of America”.
McCrory reiterated that he will ask legislators to repeal a part of the law that bans workers from filing discrimination claims in state court. HRC also notes that polls have shown that many LGBT North Carolinians have experienced discrimination and that a majority of state residents oppose HB 2. Earlier in the show, actor and liberal activist George Clooney called anti-LGBT laws “ridiculous”. Chris Sgro says McCrory should work to repeal the entire law.
On the Human Rights Campaign (HRC): “My gosh, they’re more powerful than the NRA”.

“I made a point when I was mayor of Charlotte for 14 years, we dealt with fire and police and airports and roads and light rail lines, we didn’t impose new regulations on businesses”, McCrory said.
