Thom Tillis on Civil Rights

Reparations for black victims of a N.C. eugenics program

It was Tillis himself who first proposed the bill to protect Mueller in a conversation with Coons last summer, an important bipartisan partnership that's survived tough battles over taxes and health care.

Sen.Coons (D-DE) was struck by Tillis' fight for reparations for black victims of a North Carolina eugenics program. And Tillis was impressed that Coons was willing to fend off Democrats who wanted to pile on to the special counsel bill and turn it into a partisan attack on Trump. "He was pretty clear," Coons said, recalling how Tillis threatened to drop his support unless each new Democratic co-sponsor was matched by a Republican.

Government shouldn't redefine marriage

Tillis: Strongly Agree

NC's "traditional population" stable while minorities grow

"If you take a look, you mentioned the Hispanic population--the African American population, there's a number of things that our party stands for that they embrace," Tillis said. He went on to say that Republican need to do a better job reaching out to minority voters. Tillis then said that unlike the Hispanic or black populations, which have been growing, the "traditional population of North Carolina and the United States is more or less stable."

Tillis was referring to North Carolinians who have been in the state for a few generations, according to the state lawmaker's campaign.
