NC Democratic Candidate Criticized for a Six-Month Delay in Returning a Contribution from Omar

Terry: How much was the contribution?

Thompson: It was a $2,000 donation on Nov. 6. And, so, he tweeted about giving it back on April 17.

Terry: Why did Dan Bishop not mention that McCready gave the money back during the rally?

Thompson: When we talked to a spokesperson for Bishop, they said that it shouldn’t really matter, and McCready shouldn’t have taken a cent from her in the first place because of her documented history of “anti-Semitic remarks.”

Terry: So, how did you rate these remarks then by Dan Bishop?

Thompson: Since McCready did get a donation from Omar but he gave it back, we decided that that was a substantial enough detail that was left out to make this statement half true.
