after an interview he gave to politico, tom tillis, north carolina's republican speaker of the house, is the establishment back candidate to take on democratic incumbent kay hagan in her quest for re-election. next year, he told politico what i see from the folks opposing our agenda is whining coming from losers. north carolina has perhaps the most aggressive right wing government in america thanks to a republican governor, state house and senate that have rammed through a voter i.d. law, passed and signed a law, a restrictive antiabortion bill and cut education by half a billion dollars. hard right shift sparked a movement called moral mondays in which the people he deems losers made their opposition known on a weekly basis. it has also led to a collapse in the arrival rating of pat mcrory and the gop controlled state legislature while providing a boost democratic kay hagen in her quest for re-election. but this is a story that is about more than just one north carolina's comments because the attitude embedded extends far beyond his state's borders. >> there are 47% of the people who

what we see happening -- for instance, in our state, the speaker of the house, tom tillis, who wants a senator, went out of his way, led his extremists to claim there was voter fraud, then had to admit on msnbc that, in fact, there was no voter fraud. but they created the fear. and once they created the fear, they used that fear to produce a monster voter suppression law, not just voter i.d. they ended same-day registration, cut back early voting, cut back sunday voting, denied 16 and 17-year-olds from preregistering. what they do is they use this fraud to create fear, and then they use that fear to do an extreme reduction in voting opportunity. because at the end of the day, injustice always has to have a lie to support it to create the fear to undergird it, and then they use that to destroy the opportunity for people to vote because they know, if people vote, this narrow-minded, extremist agenda cannot pass a public test at the polls. >> and it's particularly the case, myrna, that it is very hard to come up with justification for a whole new raft of restrictions on voting in the ab
