A North Carolina House Oversight Committee hearing took a dramatic turn when Republican state Rep. Allen Chesser questioned Mecklenburg County Sheriff Garry McFadden about which branch of government he operates under. The exchange unfolded during discussions tied to the killing of a young Ukrainian woman in Charlotte. When asked how many branches of government exist, the sheriff responded that he did not know, sparking sharp criticism from GOP lawmakers. Chesser later remarked he did not expect to deliver a “fifth-grade civics lesson” to an elected official.
