    The vitriol toward North Carolina tonight reveals an amnesia toward the last fifteen years. This is an American problem, not one state

    And this year my home, which I love and is awesome, was the latest to fall victim to a dying & bigoted breed with deep pockets

    So go ahead and hate on my home if you must. And hate more on 30 other states where wonderful people gave blood & sweat to work for freedom

    Or you can do as we will do in North Carolina & roll up your sleeves, & know that their hateful efforts are an attempt to hold back the sea.

    You think you can break our hearts but you are wrong. Our hearts don't break and over time you will learn this the hard way
