He’s had death threats. He and his wife are being shunned socially. He was verbally assaulted by a 21-year-old drunk student, and she was arrested. Corporate executives and university presidents have abandoned him. The voters don’t understand HB2. Its supporters are being “purged.”

“It gets to me, I just hide it until I go home and sit in a room or walk a dog and I go, ‘Wow, this is depressing.’ So I need to let you know it’s not easy.”

That’s what Pat McCrory told a group of ministers last Friday, just before Hurricane Matthew hit North Carolina.

As Harry Truman said: If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.
