There is a intra-party battle for the soul of GOP playing out in the NC Senate race and not enough national news outlets are covering it. It is fascinating to watch. Where are y'all?#ncpol

They're too busy trying to blame Biden for every little thing going wrong in this world.

I'd rather have my eardrums destroyed by boric acid. Or hydrofluoric acid. Some kind of acid.

NEWS: @WRAL is hosting a debate Thursday at 7pm for the U.S. Senate GOP primary. Former Gov. Pat McCrory and former U.S. Rep. Mark Walker say they'll be there. Rep. Ted Budd has not committed to participate at this time. #ncpol #ncsen #Election2022 pic.twitter.com/wNSEBlF08x

See my above comment about various acids eating away my auditory components.

@CawthornforNC declines to debate tonight near #Asheville, N.C. Decision comes after cocaine and orgy comments and April 9 speaking engagement at Donald Trump rally in eastern N.C. #avl #avlnews #ncpol #ncgov...https://t.co/oO5zxVBuap

Declining to debate is arguably the smartest thing he's done since he matriculated from elementary school.

Always great to hear @DougHeye’s #ncpol perspectives. Though we disagree on many things (including the best type of barbecue), we can agree that hot dogs are not in that definition and that we can both hope to be counted as the “pride of NC” one day https://t.co/Pu8I9FgQS7

I beg to differ. A barbecue without hot-dogs (and hamburgers) is sadder than that violin refrain in the movie Platoon. If your pulled pork is good enough, it can stand a little competition from ground and processed meats. But if you're determined to make small children (and some adults) cry, then do your thing.

NC’s two state supreme court partisan elections this November will be critical contests in controlling the 4-3 current Democratic majority #ncpol #nccourts https://t.co/xJ7GltBB46

Quite possibly the most important thing you will see all week. Pay attention.

On that critical note, here's your Onion:
