Meet Roy Cooper’s Far-Left Friends

Commentary

Roy Cooper rolled out the red carpet for a socialist, racked up endorsements from radical groups like the Sierra Club, and is fundraising with some of the most liberal Democrats in the Senate.

 

News flash: Cooper is not a moderate - he is a certified member of the far left.

 

Cooper’s campaign buddies, Jon Ossoff, Mark Kelly, Chris Van Hollen, and Chris Coons, have Progressive Punch lifetime scores of 90% or more. 

 

And just like his far-left ally Jon Ossoff, Cooper accepted campaign donations from Reid Hoffman, who has ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Cooper also took donations from a board member of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), while an SPLC group backed Ossoff’s campaign with more than $700,000. The SPLC is now under federal indictment over allegations that it funded white supremacist groups like the United Klans of America. 

 

“Roy Cooper is campaigning with socialists, tying himself to radical groups, and fundraising with some of the most insane Democrats in the Senate. Cooper can lie about being a moderate all he wants, but he can’t hide the company he keeps.” - RNC Spokeswoman Emma Hall
