NC House Speaker Tim Moore Rammed Several Times By Car On Highway

WASHINGTON, DC - DECEMBER 7: (L) Speaker of the North Carolina House of Representatives Tim Moore exits the U.S. Supreme Court after he attended oral arguments in the Moore v. Harper case December 7, 2022 in Washington, DC. The Moore v. Harper case stems from the redrawing of congressional maps by the North Carolina GOP-led state legislature following the 2020 Census. The map was struck down by the state supreme court for partisan gerrymandering that violated the state constitution. Also at issue in the case is the independent state legislature theory, a theory that declares state legislatures should have primary authority for setting rules of federal elections with few checks and balances.

North Carolina House Speaker Tim Moore and State Rep. David Willis, who are both Republicans, were being transported on an interstate by security Thursday night when their vehicle was repeatedly rammed from behind.

“Security was driving the Speaker and Rep. Willis back to Raleigh after a visit to Wilson for a series of events today,” a spokesperson for Moore said in a statement. “On the drive back, the vehicle was rammed from behind several times.”

“General Assembly police and highway patrol responded and the circumstances are under investigation,” the statement continued. “Thankfully no one in the vehicle was hurt, including Rep. Willis and Speaker Moore.”
