Dan Bishop wants to waste taxpayer's money by protecting this POS-- I don't see anything wrong with the protesters shouting "Shame" and "Asshole" at McCrory-- What do you think?

From the NC Senator's campaign site:
Who is Udai Basavaraj?
Lines are being crossed, and I have been holding my tongue. Yesterday, however, one of the growing series of spectacles caught my attention like no other. It was a video article posted on the Charlotte Observers website showing the immediate past governor of North Carolina chased by a chanting mob down a blind alley in Washington, DC on Saturday.
The 3:35 video begins with former Gov. Pat McCrory bidding goodbye to TV commentator Lou Dobbs on a city sidewalk. The mob approaches him and begins chanting and shouting, Shame on you... Youre a bigot and an a**hole... Youre not a man, youre a coward.
Gov. McCrory retreats calmly in the company of three women and Mr. Dobbs down an alley to a building entrance that is locked. As they wait to be admitted, mob continues to chant, Shame. Just after the one minute mark, the ringleader says, Weve got you now.
Two more anxious minutes pass until uniformed Secret Service officers arrive and usher the mob away. The mob turns on them, shouting, Shame on the cops, too.
Ubiquitous leftist rioters are fond of shouting Shame, but invariably incapable of it.

From the News and Observer:
The proposed legislation would make it a crime to threaten, intimidate, or retaliate against a present or former North Carolina official in the course of, or on account of, the performance of his or her duties, Bishop said.
Because lines are being crossed, Bishop, who represents the 39th District in the North Carolina Senate, wrote in an email from his Senate campaign account.
Bishop was one of the sponsors of House Bill 2, or the bathroom bill which McCrory signed into law. The bill was criticized for nullifying local non-discrimination ordinances statewide, directing transgender people to use restrooms and locker rooms matching the gender on their birth certificate in government-owned buildings and initially revoking the right to sue in state court for discrimination.
