Press Release:

 Raleigh, N.C.     After Roy Cooper launched an online store with a t-shirt referencing the early '90s rap song "Whoomp! (There It Is)," the North Carolina Republican Party issued the following statement:

"If a Republican were to use this song with such derogatory and racially-charged lyrics to sell campaign t-shirts, the media would be up in arms and calling for their resignation.
