Former North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, a Democrat who launched his Senate campaign Monday, is being accused by the National Republican Congressional Committee of wanting to make America more left-wing.

“Roy Cooper spent decades dragging North Carolina left, and now he wants to do the same to America,” Rep. Richard Hudson, R-N.C., chairman of the NRCC said. “Roy Cooper supports men playing in girls’ sports and raising taxes on working families.

Roy Cooper doesn’t want to make America great again; he just wants to take America left.”
