In 2021 when a cartoon from WRAL-TV (Capitol Broadcasting) depicted Republicans involved with the state school board as KKK members Robinson got quite upset while also inferring that Democrats were the Klan members. Cartoon depicts NC’s Black lieutenant governor and other Republicans as KKK members https://www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/article248952864.html An editorial cartoon published Tuesday, Feb. 2, 2021 by the editorial section of Capitol Broadcsting Co., which owns WRAL. The cartoon depicts Republican members of the NC Board of Education as members of the KKK, including Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson who is Black.
Mark Robinson, the North Carolina GOP nominee for governor, is off the rails even by MAGA standards Robinson has denied the Holocaust, opposed women’s suffrage, threatened to use his AR-15 against the government, and more. https://www.vox.com/politics/24092798/mark-robinson-north-carolina-governors-race-2024
Will Robinson turn North Carolina blue in 2024? The NC GOP ticket will bring out more voters – but not the ones the party wants https://amp.newsobserver.com/opinion/article286432615.html North Carolina Republicans have turned on the turnout machine — for Democrats. Democrats aren’t thrilled about their candidates. They’re lukewarm about Joe Biden for president and Josh Stein’s gubernatorial bid isn’t firing up the base. U.S. Rep. Jeff Jackson is a likable candidate for attorney general, but is still introducing himself to voters. And Mo Green for superintendent of public instruction is unknown outside of education and philanthropy circles. But Democrats — and many unaffiliated voters — will turn out with a passion against the GOP ticket that emerged from Tuesday’s primary. Re-running Donald Trump for president is polarizing enough. Now the state’s Republican voters have nominated vitriolic Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson for governor, Dan Bishop, the caustic “bathroom bill” architect and election denier, for attorney general and Michele Morrow, an anti-public schools zealot, for superintendent of public instruction. Morrow’s agenda is summed up by her 2020 tweet: “We should be MOST concerned about losing the next generation of citizens to our Public School socialist indoctrination centers!!” Democratic leaders’ eyes must be getting wide. After years of false starts, they may turn North Carolina blue in the presidential race, pick up key Council of State offices and see a Democratic tide that will let them win statewide judicial elections. Democrats won’t be able to take control of the General Assembly or hold onto several Congressional seats because of gerrymandering, but they may be able to take away the GOP’s veto-proof legislative majority. But what about Biden’s low approval ratings? Those will improve as the economy does and Democrats get over their disappointment that the 81-year-old is seeking a second term. What really matters is who he is running against and who Democrats and many independents will be voting against. Nikki Haley atop the GOP ticket would have been a problem for Democrats. She would have been a safe, sensible and energetic option to Sleepy Joe. Getting Trump instead is a gift for Democrats. Trump has his base, but he can’t grow it. In North Carolina, Trump is slipping. He won North Carolina by 3.6% over Hillary Clinton in 2016. Against Biden in 2020, his margin fell to 1.4% even as turnout reached a record 75%. Four years later, Trump will face a state where the demographics have shifted even further toward minority and urban voters. Deep blue Wake and Mecklenburg counties and counties adjacent to them account for most of the state’s population growth since 2020. Meanwhile, turnout among young voters who tend to vote Democratic is on the rise. Add Robinson to the mix and Republican prospects grow dimmer. Sure, he’s a fiery speaker, MAGA voters love him and consultants will soften his rough edges with an up-from-the-bootstraps story, but that won’t change Robinson’s over-the-top reality. His outrageous comments and checkered financial history are well documented. What should be even more worrying for Republicans is what is not known about Robinson. He rose to prominence on the basis of a viral gun-rights video and won office on his first try. Much about him is unknown, but will become known in the glare of a gubernatorial race. His nomination has attracted national comment, and not in a good way. Bishop and Morrow won’t move Democrats as profoundly as Trump and Robinson, but they are MAGA candidates who will be limited by the same narrow appeal that won them their nominations. Morrow’s victory is a big break for Democrats. Unseating a Republican incumbent in Catherine Truitt would have been a tall order. Now the path is wide open for Green to take the post. It is possible, of course, that the GOP ticket wins and the nation and North Carolina enter a dark age of politics driven by anger, resentment and retribution. But it’s precisely that prospect that will bring a surge of Democratic voters to the polls.
You mean calling them RINOs and claiming they all should be killed... makes them feel unwanted. Shocking! 'Anti-Trump' Republicans in North Carolina feel alienated by Mark Robinson https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...ina-governor-mark-robinson-trump/72945069007/
Look at who doesn't believe in paying his taxes. Bankruptcy documents detail how GOP NC governor nominee Mark Robinson failed to file federal income taxes for 5 years Mark Robinson claims Democrats have caused the "death" of "responsibility." https://abcnews.go.com/US/bankruptc...p-nc-governor-nominee-mark/story?id=108763847
Sounds like someone that's risen to the top after much adversity. That's the type of real world experience our govt needs. Not someone that has spent their entire life as a politician with no clue about the real world. He gets my endorsement. ______________________________ In a statement to ABC News, Robinson's campaign communications director Mike Lonergan said, "This is old news recycled by the Democrats and their allies in the press to distract the voters." "Lt. Governor Robinson has made no secret about the financial challenges in his past," the statement said. "As a former factory worker who lost his job due to NAFTA and had his home foreclosed and was even forced into bankruptcy, the Lt. Governor has overcome many challenges -- financial and others -- in his past. He's lived the struggles that families across North Carolina are facing every day. North Carolinians are ready for a governor who will be focused on solutions to their problems -- not another career politician climbing the ladder from office to office." >>>>Robinson ultimately filed his back taxes in May 2003.<<<<
Do you support all the other nonsense that comes out of Robinson's mouth as well as all of his financial shenanigans?
Robinson and his family members took $830,000 in salaries from his charity which received 7 million dollars of government money since 2017. The charity, Balanced Nutrition Inc, basically delivered no benefits to families or children in need -- while spending huge amounts of money inappropriately.
