Error? Should that be 15 HOURS of emotional debate? 15 minutes doesn’t sound too impressive

How did the governor justify vetoing this pro-American legislation?

Not a hard question to answer - he’s a Democrat.
The HARDER question is why in hell are so many people in states like North Carolina SPLITTING THEIR BALLOTS to elect Democrat governors, but Republican legislatures? Do the voters in those states have ANY CLUE as to just who the Democrats are?

…Dems lie and cheat their way in. Ground game, as in lawn signs, makes a big difference as to repeatedly implant the name so like a robot, they vote. And most are pretty damn stupid and/or vote for “free” stuff.

Many in the South think of the Democrats as gentlemanly types. Those days are long gone.

No. Commie Josh vetoed it. Republicans overturned his veto.

The override followed nearly 15 minutes of passionate floor speeches and public outbursts. But it was Representative Carla Cunningham (D-Mecklenburg) who commanded the floor with a forceful defense of her prior support for the bill, only to be interrupted by jeers from the gallery and a procedural challenge from a fellow Democrat.
Amazing, a sane Democrat...
The jeers were from the PEANUT GALLERY!!

Josh Stein, just the newest face to the “moderate” Democrat governors we’ve had since Jim Hunt.

And the state of North Carolina will be a lot better off for it. One step back from the cultural chaos and lawlessness that plagues some other states.

Not only take their jobs - but turn their living space into “Little Mexico” with businesses and signs all in Spanish and ESL classes using up precious educational dollars.
California is a good example of this as the “new” Spanish speaking invaders took over black sections of Los Angeles like Watts and Compton and pushed the blacks out - while politicians these people keep voting for like Maxine Waters stayed safe in their homes outside of the districts they represent- while continuing to claim to displaced, jobless blacks that the greatest threat to them is White Supremacist.

Do the voters in those states have ANY CLUE as to just who the Democrats are? That's a good question that certainly applies here in Kentucky. We've had only 2-3 Republican governors in the last 120 years, but Trump won the state about 63-37 three times.

Mark Robinson turned out to be a poor opponent.
From Wikipedia:
On September 19, 2024, CNN reported that Robinson had made many graphic remarks on the online pornographic forum Nude Africa from 2008 to 2012 [ . . . ][1] The remarks made on Nude Africa included expressing support for slavery, using various homophobic, racial, and antisemitic slurs, enjoying transgender pornography, admitting to peeping at women showering in public showers without their knowledge when he was 14 and continuing to fantasize about the experience as an adult, self-identifying as a "perv", and calling himself a "Black Nazi" and stating his support for Adolf Hitler over Barack Obama as United States president.[1][42] Another remark labelled Martin Luther King, Jr. a "commie bastard" and then stated: "If I was in the KKK I would have called him Martin Lucifer Koon!"

In North Carolina the Republicans in the State Houses run the State not the Governor. All of Cooper's so called accomplishments were either cooperating with the GOP or involved veto overrides. Conservatives control both Houses and the State Supreme Court. They recently passed election reform via a veto override and in another veto override took control of the department the runs election. Governor through the executive branch no longer controls who is appointed. That was big as they failed to cleanup voter rolls and approved the mass mailing out of mail in ballots. With that in place and redistricting GOP should easily hold both Houses and it will be harder for Cooper this time around.

Robinson challenged the porn claims in a lawsuit, true or not the damage was done. Stein ran a dirty campaign and his only accomplishment was hey I did my job. He won't have it so easy next round.
The reason Robinson was so weak, he is just a normal non-lawyer man who became famous but had skeletons in his closet. A lot of Stein's attacks fell short because what he accused Robinson of is a normal part of life for poor people. Thomas Sowell said poverty levels are a moving target, people move in and out of poverty. Have I ever written a rent check knowing the money would not be in the bank the day the check arrived, but the check would clear a couple of days latter, yea, I had no choice. Did I cash a check at a grocery store to feed my children knowing it would bounce, yes, I was desperate. I paid the $10 return check fee and made good on the bill on payday. Of course that immediately put me behind insuring more problems before the next payday. Such is life when you are poor, something a silver spoon baby like Stein never experienced. Eventually jobs improved and I got back on track. Those and a failed business were the subject of Stein's attacks until the porn accusations hit. That sunk Robinson. Wife Would not vote for him. Robinson was not a politician or a lawyer, he could have turned the accusation against Stein, but his weak efforts failed.

#18:
"Have I ever written a rent check knowing the money would not be in the bank the day the
check arrived, but the check would clear a couple of days latter, yea, I had no choice." Ouch. I remember that myself. It sucks to be poor. It was best in the age before computers when
checks had to be physically moved around. If you had a bank account in a different Federal
Reserve District than your local bank, it usually bought you three days. (what was it called, "float"?). Technically it was a crime called "kiting". But it was unenforceable as long as the checks cleared.
Thank God that I've come a long way from those days. Thank you Father God. Your Glory, not mine.
