Republicans came together Tuesday afternoon to give thanks to their state legislators for voting along conservative lines. This “Thankful Tuesday” gathering was a response to the 11 Moral Mondays, during which residents have protested the actions of the legislature. About 350 people gathered Tuesday on the Halifax Mall to hear patriotic music and speeches and to meet and greet Republican legislators.
