In unearthed Facebook posts, Mark Robinson also called the civil rights movement “crap” and vowed to work on MLK Day because he’s “not a leach."
Martin Luther King Jr. was just an “ersatz pastor” and a “communist,” and the 1960s civil rights movement was “crap,” according to a series of Facebook posts by Mark Robinson, the leading Republican candidate to be North Carolina’s next governor.
Robinson, who is currently the state’s lieutenant governor, regularly criticized King and the civil rights movement for years on Facebook ― specifically on MLK Day ― HuffPost found amid a review of his posts. The Black politician also downplayed slavery, rejected the idea that he’s part of the African American community, and attacked the late congressman and civil rights icon, John Lewis.
These posts are surfacing at a time when Robinson, who is on track to be the GOP nominee for governor in November, has been trying to soften his rhetoric, and celebrate King and the civil rights movement.
This man has declared bankruptcy FOUR TIMES. He has been under investigation for the past two years because he used campaign donations to pay off personal debt, among other things.
He shouldn’t be anywhere near running a state or in charge of any budget, near a budget, or even be allowed to see a budget.
He has also praised Hitler on social media.
Oh, and he misspelled the word ‘leach’ (leech) in his post because WHY WOULD WE NEED PEOPLE RUNNING THE GOVERNMENT WHO CAN ACTUALLY SPELL SIMPLE FUCKING WORDS like a third grader could.
What always blows my mind the most is how these people see no issue with filing for bankruptcy (sometimes multiple times), but are against “handouts” like social security and unemployment that people pay into and are earned benefits. The same people that grumbled about “nobody wants to work”, but then stole thousands of dollars in COVID relief money they had no right to.
Fucking what???
Yes, one of his GOP opponents is running ads right now in North Carolina pointing this out.
Huh, I could see a Democrat opponent successfully pointing that shit out in the general election, but in the GOP primary that would probably make more people vote for Robinson.
Sounds like a guy Trump would like.
Or at least someone he’d pretend to like as much as he’s ever pretended to like someone who is not white.
Sounds like a fine US Conservative political candidate!
I can forgive minor spelling mistakes. It’s easy enough to misplace a finger while typing. That doesn’t mean they think it’s spelled that way. But everything else you pointed out is more than bad enough.
I would forgive it, if he didn’t misspell words in everything he posts and wasn’t running for Governor of a U.S. state. None of the other candidates misspell words in their posts, ever.
FYI, the leach is the trailing edge of a sail. Not that I think he knows that, but maybe his spellcheck does. Doesn’t excuse the rest….
