North Carolina State Chapter | RINO Removal Project
The North Carolina State Chapter of the RINO Removal Project is a grassroots movement committed to rooting out Republicans In Name Only (RINOs) who betray the conservative principles that Tar Heel voters cherish. In a state that strongly backs the America First agenda, too many so-called “Republicans” in Raleigh have turned their backs on their base, prioritizing power, compromise, and establishment interests over the will of the people. We’re rallying patriots across North Carolina to fight back—county by county, race by race.
The RINO Problem in North Carolina: Betraying the Base
North Carolina’s freedom-loving voters are being let down by RINOs in our state legislature who campaign as conservatives but govern as moderates, or worse. From supporting bloated budgets to weakening stances on election integrity and Second Amendment rights, these lawmakers align with the uniparty, stalling bold reforms and protecting their own influence.
Among the most egregious offenders are:
- Thom Tillis (U.S. Senator): Criticized for his 28% RINOScorus score, 39% Heritage Foundation score in the 118th Congress and for voting with Democrats on issues like gun control (Bipartisan Safer Communities Act) and immigration reform.
- Kathy Manning (NC-06): Often called out for moderate voting patterns that clash with North Carolina’s conservative values.
- Patrick McHenry (NC-10): Accused of prioritizing corporate interests over America First policies.
- Virginia Foxx (NC-05): Faces scrutiny for inconsistent support of populist conservative priorities.
These individuals, among others, dilute the America First agenda, undermine conservative legislation, and align with establishment forces to block meaningful change in Raleigh and Washington.
RRP North Carolina: Mobilizing for Accountability
The RRP North Carolina Chapter is hitting the ground running to hold RINOs accountable. We are:
- Educating voters through the America First Academy, exposing RINO voting records.
- Tracking votes with tools like the RINOScorus scorecard to highlight betrayals.
- Recruiting challengers who truly represent North Carolina’s conservative heart.
- Mobilizing conservatives to dominate primaries and replace RINOs with America First leaders.
- Building coalitions with liberty-minded groups across the state, from the mountains to the coast.
This isn’t about party loyalty—it’s about ensuring our representatives honor their promises to the people.
Why North Carolina Matters
North Carolina is a battleground for the soul of the Republican Party. Our state’s voters demand leaders who fight for secure borders, fiscal responsibility, and traditional values, yet RINOs in Raleigh and D.C. threaten to derail this vision. What happens in North Carolina reverberates nationwide, shaping the strength of the America First movement. We’re not just fighting for our state, we’re fighting for the future of conservatism.
Insights from the Ground Voices like @MargoinWNC on X amplify the frustration of North Carolina conservatives, calling out RINOs for “selling out to the establishment” and urging voters to “primary the traitors in 2026.” Posts highlight Tillis as a prime target, with his “weak record on immigration and gun rights” drawing ire from the base. This sentiment fuels our mission to replace RINOs with true conservatives who won’t buckle under pressure.
