President Trump just said that North Carolina Senate candidate Roy Cooper released 83 M*RDERERS, 51 of which had LIFE sentences — and they committed 25 m*rders "immediately after being released"
North Carolina MUST elect Michael Whatley to the Senate!
"They ended up committing 25 m*rders immediately after being released, and Roy Cooper’s reputation will never be the same. He is a TOTAL FRAUD!"
"The reason for releasing them, believe it or not, was because Governor Cooper didn’t want them to catch COVID while in prison."
"Repeat Violent Offender DeCarlos Brown, Jr., who was put on the streets through release by Cooper, is the infamous murderer of Iryna Zarutska. He violently slashed Iryna from behind, for all to see, while she was innocently sitting on a train."
"NORTH CAROLINA, VOTE FOR MICHAEL WHATLEY. HE HAS MY COMPLETE AND TOTAL ENDORSEMENT FOR THE UNITED STATES SENATE, AND WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!"
This is insane. Roy Cooper is a traitor to North Carolina!
Voters need to prove the pollsters wrong in North Carolina and elect Whatley — Trump won it ALL 3 TIMES
Roy Cooper is horrible news for law and order.

AI Overview Just another lie from the old coach.
No, the specific claims about Roy Cooper releasing 83 murderers—and DeCarlos Brown, Jr. being freed by him—are not supported by factual records.
The Claims vs. Verified Facts
• The COVID Release Numbers: Former Governor Roy Cooper did not direct a sweeping release of 83 or 51 murderers from North Carolina prisons to prevent COVID-19. In connection with an ACLU lawsuit settlement during the pandemic, a group of 51 prisoners serving life sentences were included in discussions regarding medical parole eligibility or risk factors, but state corrections officials noted that those individuals remained subject to standard parole review rules and were not automatically or broadly turned out onto the streets.
• DeCarlos Brown, Jr. and Iryna Zarutska: DeCarlos Brown, Jr., the defendant charged in the killing of Iryna Zarutska on a light-rail train in Charlotte, was not released from prison early by Governor Cooper.
• The Context of the Race: The claims are part of a hard-fought closing campaign strategy in the 2026 North Carolina U.S. Senate election, where Republican nominee Michael Whatley—endorsed by President Donald Trump—is trailing former Democratic Governor Roy Cooper in multiple public opinion polls.
