EXCLUSIVE: A group of veterans and military families were escorted out of the NC GOP’s convention in Greensboro on Friday after delivering a letter calling on Republicans and Donald Trump to reject calls for violence and inflammatory rhetoric.

The coalition of veterans — including members of @common_defense and @vetsforresponsibleleadership — were quickly ushered out of the event, though they received a guarantee that their letter would be delivered to the chair of the Republican National Committee.

Support Our Cause

Thank you for taking the time to read our work. Before you go, we hope you'll consider supporting our values-driven journalism, which has always strived to make clear what's really at stake for North Carolinians and our future.

Since day one, our goal here at Cardinal & Pine has always been to empower people across the state with fact-based news and information. We believe that when people are armed with knowledge about what's happening in their local, state, and federal governments—including who is working on their behalf and who is actively trying to block efforts aimed at improving the daily lives of North Carolina families—they will be inspired to become civically engaged.
