Donald Trump Now Says He Supports North Carolina’s Anti-LGBT Bathroom Bill – WATCH

Donald Trump has done an about-face on North Carolina’s anti-LGBT bathroom bill, HB 2. While Trump previously came out against the legislation, saying that he thought the state made a mistake by passing HB 2, Trump now says he’s “going with the state.”

HB 2 was passed by the state’s legislature and signed by Governor Pat McCrory within one day.

Speaking with The News & Observer, Trump said of the hateful legislation,

“I’m going with the state. The state, they know what what’s going on, they see what’s happening and generally speaking I’m with the state on things like this. I’ve spoken with your governor, I’ve spoken with a lot of people and I’m going with the state.”

Back in April, Trump told The Today Show a rather different story: 

“North Carolina did something that was very strong, and they are paying a big price and there’s a lot of problems. One of the best answers I heard was from a commentator yesterday, saying ‘leave it the way it is. There have been very few problems.’ North Carolina, what they are going through with all of the business that’s leaving and the strife– and that’s on both sides. You leave it the way it is. There have been very few complaints they way it is. People go, they use the bathroom that they feel is appropriate, there has been so little trouble, and the problem with what happened in North Carolina is the strife and the economic punishment they’re taking.”
