UPDATE Top local RINO Frankie Waters backs Berger led challenge to Kidwell | Eastern NC Now

Waters accompanied Berger candidate to file for NC House

ENCNow

UPDATE:

Berger-Boy Armstrong held a fundraiser last week, and ultra-RINO Frankie Waters was prominently involved in that fundraiser.  Also present was a leading enemy of gun rights in the legislature Jimmy Dixon, the man who recruited Armstrong for Berger.  Dixon was responsible for killing the Concealed Carry bill in the current legislature by adamantly refusing to join the Republican caucus attempts to override leftist Governor Josh Stein's veto of the bill.  Dixon also has a history of being wishy-washy on illegal immigration.

ORIGINAL POST:

They say that "birds of a feather flock together".

Liberal state senate boss, ultra-RINO Phil Berger is mounting challenges to the top six NC House conservatives who have opposed Berger's liberal policies.  One of those targeted by RINO puppet master Berger is House Freedom Caucus chairman Keith Kidwell.  The House has been blocking many of Berger's liberal bills and he wants to put his allies in key House positions to stymie conservatives.

A big farmer named Armstrong, who was a big Marc Basnight Democrat when he lived in Hyde County, is Berger's candidate against Kidwell but has since tried to reinvent himself as a "Republican".  Accompanying Armstrong as part of his entourage to file against Kidwell was the top RINO in Beaufort County, Commissioner Frankie Waters.

Frankie Waters, like Armstrong, switched to "Republican" on paper for political purposes but has continued to function as a Democrat.  Instead of building a team among the 5 Republicans on the 7 member county commission, Waters has consistently allied with the two liberal Democrats.  Together with RINO Randy Walker, they have shut conservatives out of county government.

As state senate leader, Berger has pushed all of liberal Democrat former governor Roy Cooper's key liberal legislative issues through the legislature.  Only in more recent years have conservatives been able to block him in the House.  Berger has indicated he intends to spend four million dollars of special interest money to try to end that conservative blockade on his liberal bills in the House.

Meanwhile, local conservatives in Rockingham County have had their fill of Phil Berger and are backing Rockingham County Sheriff Sam Page in a primary challenge to Berger himself. Twelve million dollars of special interest dark money has already been spent in Berger's senate district to try to prop him up.

RINO Hunter: We agree, the RINO infestation in Beaufort County is chronic. Republicans need to know who the RINO politicians are, as well as the political operatives who RINO whisper on a regular basis to make natural Democratic Socialists new, and very confused "Republicans," as if the Republican party must transform itself to meet the failings of new recruited members; yet one more "big tent" place of much confusion.

Now here is newsflash for Beaufort County GOP RINOs and RINO Whisperers: "Big tent" confusion is not how Stan Deatherage governs, and never has for my 25 years as a minority Conservative.

One day, Lord willing, I will lead, or help lead, the Conservative majority here in Beaufort County.

Stan, you are absolutely right about Frankie Waters. Since he has been a county commissioner, Waters has split Republicans in order to align with the liberal Democrats. He is as phony as a three dollar bill and always has been. Even during his first campaign for commissioner as a newly minted "Republican" Waters and his wife still made a political contribution during that campaign to a liberal Democrat local legislator. He made another Democrat financial contribution in 2022 to the Democrat nominee for Beaufort County Sheriff and had to resign from the Beaufort County Republican Executive Committee for party disloyalty as a result. Waters and Armstrong are two peas in a leftwing pod. No wonder they are buddying up. With "Republicans" like Waters and Armstrong, who even needs Democrats?

Frankie the Fraud and RINO Randy did it once again last Monday night at the Beaufort County Commissioners' meeting in the selection of chairman and vice-chairman as they worked hand-in-Leftist-glove to swap votes to share power within their Center-Left /Left Coalition.

First the Democratic Socialist members of the Center-Left /Left Coalition swapped votes with both RINOs to defeat Proven Conservative Stan Deatherage for the chairman position; then Frankie the Fraud and RINO Randy swapped their "Republican" votes to defeat Real Republican Tandy Dunn for the vice chairman position, and on this vote, once again, voting against Commissioner Dunn was a clear violation of the Republican Plan of Organization, the Republican Platform, as it was clear and present "Party Disloyalty."

Beaufort County's RINO Whispering GOP Chairman, Carolyn Garris, was in the audience that Monday night, and acted as if nothing wrong had happened wrong, so did Representative Keith Kidwell, also in the audience. Under the guidance of these RINO Whisperers, RINO Commissioners have consistently worked against local Conservatives. This swapping of votes to share power by the Center-Left /Left Coalition has been a chronic political abomination for decades, with these RINO Whisperers condoning every political move by the Center-Left /Left Coalition controlling the Beaufort County Commission, and often publicly celebrate such bad policy by bad Republicans.

Therein lies the problem why the Beaufort County GOP has such a terrible reputation within this region, and across the state of North Carolina. I know, I talk to politicians across the state, and this terrible, prolonged behavior of "Party Disloyalty" has become legend.

That picture of Berger with the sharks is priceless. Berger is a very evil force in North Carolina, much worse than most of the out-of-the-closet Democrats. Berger has become nothing but a tool of the liberal special interests and the Democrats.

Frankie Waters had to resign from the county Republican Executive Committee for party disloyalty when he made a financial contribution to the Democrat nominee for sheriff in the 2022 general election. Frankie has always been a fake Republican and a closet Democrat. His alignments on the county commission also show that. Waters fits right in with the Phil Berger special interest mafia in our state.
