Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has made at least six stops in North Carolina this election. But Monday night’s stop in Winston-Salem was the first to include Governor Pat McCrory. He warmed up the crowd with some jokes.
First, a nod to flight attendants.
“Let's be safe now. We’ve got a big crowd so if you need to leave suddenly we’ve got exits this way…and exits this way.”
Then, came this nod to North Carolina’s most controversial law.
“And if any of you need to use the restroom…”
The crowd cheered, and then McCrory delivered the punch line:
“And if you have any questions, go to the Philadelphia convention where all the Democrats are.”
This HB 2 bathroom joke comes less than a week after the NBA All-Star game was pulled from Charlotte because of the controversial law.
Still, it killed with this crowd.
