North Carolina's Lieutenant Governor Takes Sexism To Biblical New Low

If North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson wants women’s votes, he sure has a funny way of showing it.

Robinson, a Republican positioning himself to run for governor in 2024, interpreted biblical scripture to suggest that women should not be in charge. (Watch the video below.)

“We are called to be led by men,” he said last month in a Charlotte-area church speech reported by WRAL on Monday. He acknowledged at the same time that such remarks would get him “in trouble.” On Tuesday, he accused the media of reporting misleadingly on the matter.

“God sent women out … when they had to do their thing, but when it was time to face down Goliath, [he] sent David. Not Davida — David,” he said at the time.

He sent Judith with a sword, because all the menfolk were too scared to face the Assyrian General.

It's all in the Book of Judith, which is in the King James Version as well as in the Torah and the Catholic Vulgate, though many "modern" American versions like to omit it, because it's a story about a strong woman, maybe,?
She's not a Madonna or a Jezabel, so Mr. Kafeteria Kristian Kultist feels he can just ignore her.

typical repub.... he is anti-everybody... muslims, jews, gays... he called Michelle Obama a man....

he opposes abortion.... but

In a 2012 social media post, Robinson acknowledged that in 1989, he paid for a woman that he impregnated to get an abortion.[31] In 2022, Robinson clarified that the woman in question was his eventual wife, Yolanda, whom he married about a year after the incident.
