North Carolina Gov. Bev Perdue (D) called for the resignation of the state's Democratic Party chairman David Parker, in a statement Tuesday. WTVD in Raleigh reports:
In her statement, she said she had spoken with Parker several times on Tuesday and told him he had lost the confidence of Democratic leaders. [...]
Perdue's statement late Tuesday was a change of tune from earlier in the day when she told reporters that the situation was an internal party personnel matter and declined further comment.
When pressed, she told ABC11's Jon Camp to "get over it," and said the media should be focusing on matters that are more important to the state.
NCDP executive director Jim Parmley resigned earlier this week, after allegations he sexually harassed a former communications staffer in the party.
The Democratic National Convention will be held in Charlotte, N.C. in September.
