I’ve only heard about this guy yesterday & I’m already tired of him.
He also doesn’t believe the Holocaust happened, and has had extremely homophobic and transphobic remarks. It’s insane to me how he managed to win in 2020, but the risk is even greater in 2020 with an open seat race. Stein is the strongest candidate the Dems could run here though, so hopefully he can win and Dems can break the Republican supermajorities too.
This guy is the Republican candidate for Governor in NC?
The fuck?
Going back that far means you yourself wouldn’t even be allowed to interact with most of society jackass.
Waiting for his next big hit: “We should bring back slavery”
TIL…Mark Robinson is a humongous asshole.
He wants to go back to a time when he never could have achieved his current “success” as a politician? 🤷🏼♂️
“Robinson said he’d “absolutely” like to return to the days when the 19th Amendment didn’t exist ― when women didn’t have the right to vote.”
Listen guys. None of that should be surprising, right? The conservative Supreme Court Justices ruled against women’s autonomy. Republican states are criminalizing women’s healthcare and the doctors who serve them. They are criminalizing travel between states. This is the Republican Party.
They are not going to pivot. They are not going to change. With the super Tuesday win for Trump, Republicans’ cards are all on the table. We know what they want because they have told us.
There’s no sugarcoating it. The Republican Party wants to install a multiple indicted criminal, who tried to stop the peaceful transition of power, and has vowed to be a dictator day one. That’s it. That’s all. There is no nuance. There is no confusion.
Our democracy is in peril. Vote accordingly.
Lord. I can’t believe this man is black. How would he react if someone denied slavery existed.
They really aren’t hiding their evil nature anymore.
…the fucking imbecile says to women in his state, who currently can vote
What about the America where he couldn’t vote… or eat at a lunch counter, or drink from a particular water fountain? Is this guy insane?
He’s against the 19th amendment.
His party is against the 15th amendment.
Democrats were handed a gift here
What in the actual fuck is going on in the Republican Party
I’d say he’s unelectable but I don’t want to get ahead of myself.
Gotta hand it to the Dems for sitting on this until after the primary. Stranger things have happened, but it’s gonna be hard for a guy like that to win in the general
And Republican women voted for him.
I wanna believe this will be the year NC goes blue and stays there. Christ on a stick, the GOP is just making it clear to everyone that they believe women have no place in a civil society.
Maybe he’d be all for having to pass a literacy test in order to vote? Even a compromise perhaps? What an idiot! I would want him to say that to his Mother’s face. Knock some sense into him.
Edit:
Here’s one of my favorite Moth’s stories. Voting day.
https://player.themoth.org/#/?actionType=ADD_AND_PLAY&storyId=11755
That same America that didn’t let women vote functionally didn’t let black people vote until about 45 years later with the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Sure, it wasn’t explicitly illegal, but the Jim Crow laws pretty much ensured it didn’t happen.
As a Black Man born in 1968, I feel like that’s something he should be aware of.
It’s a bad sign of our public education system when a black man wants to go back to a time in our history where segregation existed.
And while he didn’t say that, let me just remind everyone that that’s exactly the time/era he is wanting to go back to. He just doesn’t realize how short his end of the stick would be if that reality would come true. Something tells me he wouldn’t like that.
Republicans are really some of the dumbest fucking people you could ever imagine.
And we as a nation who’d like to progress instead of regress “absolutely want Mark Robinson to have a debilitating brain aneurism that leaves him incapable of furthering his agenda”
Also, does this jackass not understand that black folks were considered lower than women to most everybody in the antebellum south? Tone deaf piece of shit.
Some republicans refer to him as the N word, regardless of his political leaning.
The historical irony here is as thick as his head.
Uncle Ruckus
I wonder how he’d react to voting rights being taken back to 1864 instead of 1909?
Hmmm, so if we prohibit women from voting, is there another category of people who might be next? Just wondering if he really thought this whole thing through…
> This room full of women was quiet as he spoke, though a faint “That’s right” could be heard when Robinson later said Republicans ended Jim Crow laws. (In fact, lawmakers in both parties in Congress and President Lyndon Johnson ended Jim Crow laws by passing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.)
I feel like _”republicans can’t be racist because they’re the part of Lincoln, ended Jim Crow laws, etc”_ is just another way of saying _”I can’t be racist because I have a black friend.”_
This guy is SO dedicated to turning back the clock that he is selling himself to a plantation owner.
Keep rolling that clock back, son, and guess who else didn’t get the vote.
*That* is what the rest of the GOP want too. They’re the ones laughing at you behind your back.
Who’s gonna tell him?
Funny thing is women will still vote for him. Stupid Americans.

This dude is legitimately nuts. How does someone this fucking crazy make it past the primary?
Edit:
* Antisemitic (caught multiple times)
* Holocaust denier
* Against abortion despite getting one (agreeing with partner)
* Transphobic
* Anti-LGBT+ claiming they’re “repugnant and offensive”
* Islamophobic
* Mass shooting are because of abortion (karma)
* Kent State shooting was justified (WTF?)
* COVID19 was a “globalist” conspiracy
* Bill Cosby is innocent
* Parkland survivors are “spoiled little bastards”
* MLK Jr. was a communist and the “Civil Rights Movement a communist plot to “subvert capitalism”
