North Carolina Fraternal Order Of The Police Endorses Michael Whatley For Senate
This week, the North Carolina Fraternal Order of Police officially endorsed Michael Whatley for the United States Senate and blasted Cooper’s decades-long record of soft-on-crime policies.
“Michael Whatley has the 100% support of the North Carolina Fraternal Order of Police. He has demonstrated to the North Carolina FOP that he stands with law enforcement, and will work to make sure our officers have the resources needed to keep our communities safe. Michael Whatley will always back the blue and have our backs in Washington DC,” said the North Carolina Fraternal Order of Police President Chet Effler.
“I am honored to be endorsed by the North Carolina Fraternal Order of Police. Roy Cooper has spent his entire career fighting harder for criminals than the men and women who wear a badge every day to protect our families. As your next Senator, I will work with our dedicated law enforcement officers to keep our kids and communities safe,” said Michael Whatley.
Highlights from Cooper’s soft-on-crime record:
Released thousands of convicted felons into North Carolina, including drug dealers, rapists, murderers, and child predators.
Launched the "Task Force for Racial Equity in Criminal Justice," his handpicked group that championed eliminating cash bail, a policy that helped secure the release of Decarlos Brown, and pushed to "reimagine public safety."
Commuted the sentences of 15 convicted killers.
Had a catastrophic record of appointing soft-on-crime judges.
Marched with defund the police activists in what law enforcement officers described as a political "photo op" that put officers and his own security detail at risk.
“Roy Cooper coddled criminals, abandoned law enforcement, and released dangerous offenders into North Carolina. The brave men and women who actually keep our communities safe are lining up behind Michael Whatley because they know Cooper’s soft-on-crime insanity has no place in the U.S. Senate.”- RNC Spokeswoman Emma Hall
