Sounding like a middle manager telling a slacker he needs those reports by the end of the week, North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis on Tuesday told CNN’s Manu Raju that he was giving Lt Gov Mark Robinson until Friday to sue Raju’s employer for defamation or something or otherwise other Republicans would be pulling their endorsements for Big Mark in the Tar Heel State’s once-winnable gubernatorial election. “If Mr Robinson [note how Tillis doesn’t address him as ‘Lieutenant Governor’] doesn’t put forth facts as part of a lawsuit that would discredit the sources by this week, then we’ve got to move on. We’ve got an election that’s 40 days away, and we’ve got to move on.”
“(Trump has yet to rescind endorsement),” Raju notes parenthetically, lol. Also funny is the “move on,” like they need to process the grief of a loss and begin healing before it happens.
Asked by Raju if he thinks Robinson can win, Tillis said “I supported a primary opponent against Mr. Robinson because I didn’t think he could win the race then, and I was working with far less information than I’m in possession of now. And I’m hoping he discredits that information.”
