Just as disturbing as this report is the reaction of the NC GOP. The communications director of the party used mafia-style intimidation on the ProPublica reporter to kill the story.
“I’m sure you’re aware of our connections with the Trump Administration and I’m sure they would be interested in this matter. I would strongly suggest dropping this story," Mercer threatened in an email to ProPublica with emphasis on the word "strongly."
Newby's wife says he has direct access to God. How brazen can you get. I can think of another being he may have access to, but it isn't God (Hint: this creature is often portrayed with horns and carrying a pitchfork).
I don’t miss this Christian BS. After living here in the PNW for 40+ years, I am thankful that we don’t have this permeating our every move. Yes, we have megachurches who proclaim Christ is King 🤴 on their very nice pre-printed signs. But, they don’t get the adulation and we constantly remind voters that they’re White Christian Nationalists … out loud. We see and point at phonies. My beautiful home state needs to figure out how to get the good people out to vote.
Thanks for posting this. The comment from Newby’s wife is cringe. For the record, everyone on earth has direct access to God, including the animals. Fundamentalists in every religion seek to shut down people’s intellectual autonomy; they want control over our thoughts.

The ProPublica piece is definitely worth your time to read. Thanks for highlighting this article.
I don’t miss this Christian BS. After living here in the PNW for 40+ years, I am thankful that we don’t have this permeating our every move. Yes, we have megachurches who proclaim Christ is King 🤴 on their very nice pre-printed signs. But, they don’t get the adulation and we constantly remind voters that they’re White Christian Nationalists … out loud. We see and point at phonies. My beautiful home state needs to figure out how to get the good people out to vote.
You are a treasured gift for NC good government.
I didn’t realize the bit about Gov. Martin’s promotion of Rhoda Billings. Thanks for that.
The quote from the piece where the NCGOP threatens to sic Trump on ProPublica if the story ran is telling, sad, and oh so typical.
Great article, sad story. Thanks for sharing.
Another Nutter for Christ.

Note to Anita Earls and Anderson Clayton: Be very aware of Newby and his friends. They will use every trick to see you defeated .
