ICYMI: DC Insider Michael Whatley’s Agenda Of Raising Costs On Families To Fund Tax Breaks For Billionaires

North Carolinians are watching Michael Whatley get blasted for his toxic budget that spikes costs for working families, all to give tax breaks to billionaires. 

Thanks to Whatley’s agenda, the average household in North Carolina will lose money while the wealthiest Americans will make tens of thousands more, energy rates will spike, and health care costs will increase.

Whatley has championed this budget, calling it a “huge win” and the “embodiment” of his agenda.

WATCH ON WRAL:

Laura Leslie: Holding a large mock check, State Democratic Party Chairwoman Anderson Clayton accused Republican U.S. Senate hopeful Michael Whatley of being a DC insider who supported tax cuts for billionaires in the recent GOP-backed federal spending bill. 

NCDP Chair Anderson Clayton: Whatley is on the side of billionaires and special interests and he’s here to make us pay the price. He wants to take money from our pocketbooks and give it to the wealthiest Americans. That’s why Washington Republicans hand-picked him for this seat.

Laura Leslie: […] Whatley’s campaign declined our interview request.
