LGBT Libs Trick Reporters With Empty Petition Boxes, But We Found the Real Stack

Many liberal and LGBT activists were up in arms and outraged following the recent passage of HB2 in North Carolina, a law which simply states that men should use the men’s bathroom and women the women’s bathroom.

In other words, common sense. But it has been denounced as horribly discriminatory to transgendered individuals that want to use the bathroom of the opposite gender that they identify with.

The angry activists have seen some success in rousing the support of liberal artists, celebrities and politicians who have joined their perpetually offended movement, cancelling shows and helping to promote a petition displaying the allegedly widespread opposition to the law by North Carolinians.

According to Right Scoop, they even held a press conference before handing in their petitions full of signatures, inviting the media to see the boxes stacked atop boxes, 26 in all, each purportedly brimming with signatures of registered North Carolina voters angry over the new law.

There was just one problem with that though, that being the boxes weren’t full of signature-bearing petitions as was clearly implied. Instead, only two of the boxes actually contained signed petitions, and the overwhelming majority of those signatures came from individuals out-of-state, in other words, most likely not all registered voters from North Carolina.

North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory noted the discrepancy in a post to social media which showed the actual amount of eligible and acceptable petitions, which was a far cry from what the activists had led everyone to believe.

 

“The anonymously-funded, national smear campaign led by the Human Rights Campaign is grossly misrepresenting information about the petitions delivered to State Capitol today,” read a statement from the governor. “Contrary to the media reports, the activists only delivered enough petitions to fill two boxes and the overwhelming majority of signatures were from out-of-state. The stacks on the right in each photo consists of out-of-state signatures.”

This is hilarious, and must be rather embarrassing to the liberal activists attempting to shame North Carolina and others for having the gall to demand people use the specific bathroom of their actual gender.

Honestly, did they really think their little scheme to trick everyone into thinking they had tremendous support wouldn’t be exposed once the governor’s office actually started opening the empty boxes and reviewing the out-of-state signatures?
