RICHARDSON Summary of Findings from Internet & New Media Review The following is a summary of findings based on an Internet and New Media review of Bobbie Richardson, Representative of North Carolina’s 7th House District: Richardson Posts Anti-Trump, and Trump Voter Memes on Social Media: Richardson posts several anti-Trump memes and stories on her social media pages, often mocking the voters she represents. She has even posted memes referring to Trump voters as "stupid."1 One post she shared in November 2016 reads, "You elected a billionaire that is appointing other billionaires to fix the system that made them billionaires? You're a special kind of stupid arent' you?" She also shared a tweet from George Takei saying, "Many racist Trump supporters were stung by Clinton's speech calling them a 'basket of deplorables' The rest had to go look up 'deplorable.'" On August 7, 3016, she shared a post that read, "Yes, I'm anti-Trump. No, I'm not Muslim, I'm not illegal, & I'm not living off the government; I'm just not stupid."2 Shared Facebook Post Calling GOP Party of "Bigots": Richardson is very active on social media. On January 4th, 2017, she shared a Facebook post that called Trump and "His Racist Current Day (Confederate) Republican Party of Bigots Have Made America HATE Again via Ignorance, Fear, & Foolishness!)3 Spread Fake News Stories: Richardson has shared several stories that are clearly fake.4 One slanders NRA President Jim Porter, claiming he said “it’s only a matter of time before we can own colored people again” – something he never said, according to Snopes.5 On April 10th, she shared an article with a Photoshopped image falsely claiming President Trump had diarrhea during a golf game, also disproved by Snopes.6 On March 5th, 2017, Richardson shared a fake "news story" reporting that Jimmy Carter had stated that medical marijuana had cured his cancer.7 Shares Articles Attacking White Women: Richardson has shared several articles slamming white women. One, from October 31st, 2017, was called, "Where are White Women Allies When a Black Woman is Called a Whore?" Another - referring to apparent support among white women for Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore and Donald Trump - was called "White Women Keep Fucking Us Over."8

  • Bobbie Richardson Summary
    Rep. Bobbie Richardson Summary Dr. Bobbie Jean Richardson has represented Franklin and Nash Counties in the North Carolina House since earning appointment in 2013. Richardson was born the sixth child of Bob and Patti Mae Richardson in Castalia, NC on Christmas Day, 1949, though she uses December 24, 1949 as her birthday on many official documents. An educator by trade, Richardson recently retired from Vance County as their Director of Exceptional Children, a special education-focused career. Unfortunately, Richardson has a track record in support of liberal policies that would wreck North Carolina’s economy, waste taxpayer dollars, and harm public schools. Consider these key positions: • Banned prayer from school exercises like graduation ceremonies (6/2012) • In the General Assembly, Richardson voted against budgets which lowered taxes and raised teacher pay and co-sponsored legislation: o To allow school boards to raise taxes (HB 955, 2013) o To raise taxes specifically (HB 1210, 2013; HB 549, 2015; HB 900, 2015) o To give driver’s license to DACA beneficiaries (HB 393, 2013) o To give special privileges to illegal immigrants (HR 627, 2013) o To eliminate employer’s right to ask for criminal record in job application (HB 605, 2015) o To fund local campaigns with taxpayer funds (HB 621, 2015) o To give in-state tuition to illegal immigrants (HB 689, 2015) o To eliminate the death penalty for 1st degree murderers (HB 686, 2015; HB 604, 2017) • Marched with AFL-CIO and Moral Monday in 8/2013 Forward Together and 11/2013 Take Back Our State protests • Communicated in radical social media posts, with fringe conspiracies and extreme language that sets a bad example for school-age children TABLE OF CONTENTS 1: BACKGROUND AND BIOGRAPHY ..................................................................................
