5. Only, they pulled a bait and switch, by trying to add a moratorium on any anti-discrimination

ordinances in the state for 6 months with the added option of continuing the moratorium every 6 months indefinitely. That still keeps any anti-discrimination ordinances from having any power to stop discrimination, because the moratorium nulls the ordinances. Democrats did not want that, because that was never part of the original deal that was made. So, the repeal failed.

Cooper was trying to negotiate this behind the scenes and the Republicans outright lied to him and Charlotte then refused to repeal HB2 after they got Charlotte to repeal its anti-discrimination ordinance. They never planned to repeal HB2 at all. They just did this to MAKE Democrats do what they wanted. Well, they got what they wanted and screw everyone else. That is how Republicans in this state are. They take lying, dirty backroom politics, and backstabbing to a new level.
