This was a no brainer for Cooper since the churches with Christian Schools involved led the charge against him repeatedly. He can virtue signal and pay no price politically. He did not forbid other Dimms from coming over to help us. He is playing typical NC politics.
Correction: I see no names of any Dimms helping to override. Pardon my error! There were a couple of Dimm absences, maybe thats what was referred to but I now doubt it.
