Kissell: I voted against repeal before I voted for it
You have got to be kidding me?
Larry Kissell’s hypocrisy tour continues today as he tells the Charlotte Observer that he will “vote to repeal” ObamaCare next week and that he “doesn’t plan to endorse Obama for re-election.” Yes you heard that right. Clearly, Kissell is running scared because he knows his record of supporting President Obama at every turn is going to haunt him in November.
This is just the latest example of Kissell attempting to cover up his job-destroying record that has made North Carolina’s economy worse.
