Roy Cooper, the former Democrat governor of North Carolina now running for Senate, added an ex-member of the notorious Bloods gang to a Racial Equity in Criminal Justice task force in 2020.
In the wake of George Floyd's 2020 death, Cooper created the task force via executive order, The Washington Free Beacon reported.
Cooper, who tapped then-state attorney general turned current Gov. Josh Stein to lead the task force, stocked the panel with a mix of state officials and community activists, including Kerwin Pittman, who was convicted in 2007 of conspiracy to commit murder, serving 14 years in prison for the crime, according to records obtained by the Free Beacon.
Pittman was also identified as a "ranking member of the Bloods" by prosecutors during a murder trial for Bloods member Michael Contrez Jones.
Pittman was convicted in a 2006 drive-by-shooting of 19-year-old Jamel Amiens Jeffreys, the Free Beacon reported.
Pittman defended his involvement in the task force and argued his past actions were the result of poor judgment as a teenager.
"I was asked to contribute to conversations about criminal justice reform because of both my lived experience and the work I was doing in communities," Pittman told the Free Beacon.
"I have never hidden my past. The gang involvement and criminal conduct you reference occurred when I was a teenager and young man at or before the age of 19. I am now 39 years old.

In college we had a guy in our dorm that was a former Latin King from Chicago. He found Jesus and was a completely changed man. Not going to advocate if the guy is best suited for this role, just saying this former blood could have a genuine heart.
I’m in Wake County, NC.
Home to Raleigh and the NC gov’t, it’s reliably blue.
Out in the county where I live, it’s hard to find a Democrat, though.
And a rep from MS-13 and one from Tren de Aragua.
Its only fair!!!
(/s, in case you are wondering)
He’s been exposed again, but Tar Heel people are too uninformed to know.
I guess this loses him the Crip vote ...
Watch out which colors you wear to the task force meetings ...
But don’t forget he is going to win according to the “experts.” Oh BTW Roy Cooper’s final poll as governor in North Caronila saw him underwater at 47% approval.
They turned out to be the best game wardens.
They knew all of the tricks and were very strict about enforcing the law.
Moore is less.
Makes sense, only a racist would criticize this decision.
Roy Cooper seems to love criminals. When he was state attorney general he dropped all charges against the prostitute who falsely charged the Duke lacrosse players. She went on to kill one of her boyfriends. During covid, Roy Cooper let out of prison 4,000 violent felons who went on to kill, assault and rape people - including the crazy guy who killed the girl from Ukraine. He denies it all of course.
Bush 41 was able to do the same with Dukakis back in 1988.
OMG!
