His anti-LGBTQ legislation House Bill 2 has tarnished North Carolina’s reputation, hurt its businesses and cost the state an expected $100 million in revenue from next year’s NBA All-Star game, but that didn’t Gov. Pat McCrory from making a joke at the expense of transgender people at a Winston-Salem rally for Donald Trump.
Gov. McCrory was on stage to introduce the Republican nominee for president when he started giving instructions to the crowd that the Washington Post reported resembled something a flight attendant might say:

“And if any of you need to use the restrooms,” he said, pausing as the crowd started to cheer. “And if you have any questions, go to the Philadelphia convention where all of the Democrats are!” said McCrory.
