The Creature From the Bottom of the MAGA Sewer, AKA Mark Robinson [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-09-04 There are so many utterly terrible Republican candidates that it’s hard to pick out the worst one sometimes, but in my mind a STRONG contender for the title of Most Horrible MAGA Asshole is North Carolina’s Lt. Governor, the vile Mark Robinson. I have searched in vain for a single positive thing about him. The always-valuable Talking Points Memo was warning us about him in 2023: Robinson has also expressed support for the rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol in the January 6 attack, whom he dubbed “political prisoners.” He has shared posts suggesting shadowy “Satanic” and “occult” forces are plaguing society, along with multiple conspiracy theories about the “New World Order.” In many of his posts, Robinson made clear that he enjoyed offending those who disagreed with his extreme views. “Note to liberals; I’ll accept ‘Gay Pride’ when you accept ‘White Pride,’” Robinson wrote in a 2014 post. Since taking office in 2021, Robinson has made headlines with his prolific Facebook output, including last year when he shared baseless conspiracy theories about the attack on former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband. In 2021, Robinson sparked outrage from Jewish groups when he published a post filled with Yiddish slurs and references to Israeli currency wherein he declared the “Black Panther” superhero movie was based on a character that was created “​​by an agnostic Jew and put to film by satanic marxist” in an effort to “pull the shekels out of your Schvartze pockets.” Those comments that drew attention are not Robinson’s only controversial take on Jewish issues. Over the years, Robinson repeatedly questioned why criticism of Nazis was such a prominent part of political discourse. He argued that Nazism was defeated in World War II while the continued spread of communism was a more pressing problem. In one of these posts, which has not been reported before, Robinson seemed to veer into Holocaust denial. Read the whole article. It’s shocking and infuriating. I want EVERY Republican candidate to lose, but I REALLY want this motherfucker to get his ass kicked HARD. I offer the following in evidence. SCHOOL SHOOTINGS ARE NO BIG DEAL x GOP candidate Mark Robinson mocked concern over children dying in school shootings. Robinson, in a mocking tone: “…12 of those people are likely to get killed, and then school shootings happen and then the children die.” pic.twitter.com/lCBu5ort5C — PatriotTakes 🇺🇸 (@patriottakes) September 4, 2024 SOME FOLKS JUST NEED KILLING, AND WHY DO WE LET WOMEN VOTE? x Mark Robinson: “I absolutely want to go back to the America where women couldn’t vote” (Trump endorses this) pic.twitter.com/BVKTdkAkCB — Kamala HQ (@KamalaHQ) August 14, 2024 THE HOLOCAUST? HOGWASH. From Rolling Stone: In Facebook posts, Robinson has repeatedly denied the Holocaust. In one 2018 post, he wrote that “this foolishness about Hitler disarming MILLIONS of Jews and then marching them off to concentration camps is a bunch of hogwash.” In another post, published in 2017, Robinson wrote that “there is a REASON the liberal media fills the airwaves with programs about the NAZI and the ‘6 million Jews’ they murdered,” placing the number of Jews killed in the Holocaust in scare quotes. GAYS ARE SATANIC From Campaign for Southern Equality: Lt. Gov Mark Robinson is one of the most virulently anti-LGBTQ+ elected officials in the country. He stoked the flames that allowed the passage of three anti-LGBTQ+ bills in North Carolina in 2023, and the passage of over 80 bills nationwide. Some of the things he’s said about LGBTQ+ people include: Calling us “filth.” “God formed” him to fight LGBTQ+ visibility. We’re turning this country into a “hellhole.” Teachers can’t teach children how to read because “they’re trying to push homosexuality and transgenderism. That ain’t got no place in schools.” Trans people should “find a corner outside somewhere” to use the bathroom, and trans women should be “arrested” for using women’s restrooms. If “homosexuality is of god, what purpose does it serve? What does it make? What does it create? It creates nothing.” (See our economic benefits blog for the fact check) LGBTQ+ education on different gender identities are “lies from a pit of hell.” OF COURSE, THE ORANGE SHITGIBBON IS ALL FOR HIM. x BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Donald Trump chose to praise and admire Mark Robinson, a man who has said he wants to go back to an America where women can’t vote. Retweet to make sure all Americans see this and know we cannot go back to a world of Trump. pic.twitter.com/vOOjcJgyJD — Kamala’s Wins (@harris_wins) August 14, 2024 ONE OF HIS RUNNING MATES IS A COMPLETE PSYCHOTIC x The Republican running for superintendent of NC schools is a MAGA homeschool mom who attended the Jan 6 insurrection, thinks Muslims should be banned from office, wants Obama executed on pay per view tv, and calls kids with learning disabilities the R word. NOPE!  #ncpol #nced pic.twitter.com/QJixFewnHm — Justin Parmenter (@JustinParmenter) August 17, 2024 FUND THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS? WHO CARES ABOUT THAT? x In case you were waiting for one more reason not to vote for Mark Robinson for NC governor: Here’s what Robinson would eliminate on behalf of our children by refusing to accept federal education funds as a pointless MAGA flex 🤔 #nced #ncpol https://t.co/IE7dhVaVjt pic.twitter.com/WYwtVWATdK — Justin Parmenter (@JustinParmenter) August 17, 2024 ABORTION? NO WAY! EXCEPT WHEN WE NEEDED ONE. From CNN: He’s also softened his position. Robinson denies ever supporting abortion bans without exceptions, publicly stating that he has always struggled with the issue and confirming that he once paid for an abortion for his then-girlfriend, now-wife in the 1980s, an experience he says he fully regrets. But in comments reviewed by CNN’s KFile dating back to 2018, Robinson regularly labeled abortion as “murder” and “genocide,” comparing the anti-abortion movement to the abolitionist movement to end slavery. He also baselessly speculated that the founders of Planned Parenthood were satanists who practiced witchcraft. Robinson characterized women who undergo abortions, even if they are just “24 hours pregnant,” as murderers. Robinson’s current position, his office has said, is support for so-called “heartbeat” legislation, which could ban abortion after a “heartbeat” is detected — but with exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother. x “Once you make a baby, it’s not your body anymore.” ~ @markrobinsonNC, anti-choice weirdo running for NC Governor who recently admitted that he paid his girlfriend to get an abortion because apparently her body was his to do with what he wanted her to do pic.twitter.com/LCs54fCyLp — Sgt Joker (@TheSGTJoker) August 24, 2024 x The reason Republicans are such hypocrites on abortion is because it’s not about “protecting life” but control. Republican men like Robinson and Trump are pro-abortion when it’s convenient for them, and against it when it’s an opportunity to control the lives of women. pic.twitter.com/0C8rr9LZf2 — Melanie D'Arrigo (@DarrigoMelanie) August 17, 2024 OH, BTW, MARK THE SUPER “CHRISTIAN” IS PROBABLY JUST ANOTHER CROOK: x NC gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson and wife were cited by DHHS for falsifying criminal background checks - Notes from the Chalkboard #ncpol https://t.co/NFPHXrIkGN — Justin Parmenter (@JustinParmenter) August 19, 2024 x Who on Earth would steal $3,000 in Girl Scout cookies from the Girl Scouts? None other than NCGOP Governor candidate @markrobinsonnc and his wife. Worst still, when confronted, the cookie monsters refused to pay back the money, got sued, and lost. https://t.co/C68CxH5qeH — Sgt Joker (@TheSGTJoker) September 3, 2024 WHO CARES ABOUT DOING ACTUAL WORK? x Wow: "One of Robinson's few statutory roles in his post as lieutenant governor is to sit on North Carolina’s Military Affairs Commission. Yet records from the MAC show that Robinson has not attended a single meeting of the group in his four years."https://t.co/WZJ7OJy1lh #ncpol — Carolina Forward (@ForwardCarolina) August 30, 2024 HEY, I’VE GOT NEEDS, YOU KNOW! x Par for the course. https://t.co/tkkLwZWgMd — Reed Galen (@reedgalen) September 4, 2024 There is a GREAT alternative to Robinson: JOSH STEIN Josh has a good polling lead over Robinson but Trump and Harris are running neck and neck. My suggestion? WRAP ROBINSON AROUND TRUMP’S THROAT.
