In a searing new editorial today, the Charlotte Observer and Raleigh News & Observer panned Senator Thom Tillis’ desperate lurch to the right as part of his frantic effort to stave off a primary threat. After Tillis flipped “like a fish on a dock” on the emergency declaration that allowed the Trump administration to raid $80 million from North Carolina military installations and sank more than $700,000 of his campaign funds into primary ads, the editorial points out that North Carolinians have no idea where Tillis truly stands on the issues that matter to his constituents. One thing is certain, though — “regardless of what else he pretends to be,” Tillis is first among the ranks of spineless politicians who “value their jobs over their country.”
