A North Carolina libertarian Senate contender known for his
YouTube lectures while sipping a beer has posted a new video blasting the state's
controversial transgender bathroom law.
Sean Haugh, who previously ran for the Senate in 2014 and is now challenging the incumbent, senior GOP Sen. Richard Burr, titled his new post "Why Did It Have To Be Bathrooms??"
The video was posted by
Roll Call on Monday.
"Oh my word, just shoot me now," Haugh says. "If that's all we have to argue about, then maybe all government has just outlived its usefulness," he adds, likening the Charlotte law allowing transgender people to go to the restroom corresponding to their gender identity to "special permission to go the bathroom."
"Then the Republicans currently running our state government decided, no, if we demonize all the transgendered people and don't let them go to the bathroom anywhere, maybe we can get re-elected," he scoffed, adding that President Barack Obama's order for school districts that mirrors the Charlotte ordinance only adds to the problem.
Haugh lectures that human rights "belong to everyone, equally," and that those with complaints can take the issue to court.
"I'm Sean Haugh and I'll put the seat back down for you," the Senate contender ends his lecture, saluting viewers with his glass of beer.
