Mark Robinson: 'I Absolutely Want To Go Back To The America Where Women Couldn't Vote'

[ProudMNDemocrat]

The GOP Candidate in the North Carolina Governor's race is more than LOONEY TOONS! Why doesn't he go back to the time his enslaved ancestors were treated worse than farm animals, were forbidden any learning, religion, family ties, denied rights under the law, etc. How anyone who calls themselves Republican can vote for such a vile pile of offal as this is beyond me. Especially women!

In a newly unearthed video, North Carolina’s GOP nominee for governor says America was better then because Republicans "fought for real social change."On Tuesday, Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson won the GOP primary to become his party’s nominee for North Carolina governor, presumably with the help of female voters.

But just four years ago, 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.

“I absolutely want to go back to the America where women couldn’t vote,” Robinson said in a newly resurfaced video of his remarks at a March 2020 event hosted by the Republican Women of Pitt County.

1. There's never a shortage of women-haters

Robinson wants to live in the Dark Ages

[jimfields33]

18. And he's already won statewide election. Incredible.

[GB_RN]

35. Here In NC...

The Lt. Gov is elected separately from the governor and many people don’t pay attention to that particular race. Four years ago, Robinson was relatively unknown and the batshit crazy stuff he spews didn’t get the attention/coverage that he is now. He went from the local papers and TV stations maybe reporting on him then to national media scrutiny for being almost as insane as tRump. Or maybe worse, since tRump’s insanity is dementia-related, whereas Robinson’s is hardwired.

[jimfields33]

43. That's good. Although, maybe the LT GOV

Campaigns (on both sides if necessary) need to ensure the candidates are well known. I’m thrilled they didn’t know this (I’d be physically sick if voters knew this and he still won) because for this election, previous voters are going to be disgusted. I’m thinking moderate republicans, woman, and independents. No way will a good many not vote for him again.

[yardwork]

50. Plenty of white North Carolinians love Mark Robinson.

He says all the things that white racist right wing Trumpsters believe - and it's coming from a Black man. They can point to Robinson and say, see, here's a Black man who agrees with us!

It's probably 50/50 whether he wins the governor's seat in NC.

[atreides1]

55. You're right

There is never a shortage of women-haters, but not all of them are men!

[SoFlaBro]

2. Fucking MAGA has always hated women and voting rights. Piss on that fucking turd.

[Trueblue1968]

24. But he says all people of color can vote. Huh?? What??

How come I can't vote. Just because of my gender??

I want him to explain his rationale.

[rubbersole]

25. He'll explain it to you after you make him a sandwich.

This asshole is the worst yet. TSF will always hold the title, but Robinson is openly genuinely batshit crazy.

[Trueblue1968]

30. Sure i will ... With addition of pickled Autum skullcap mushrooms .. Ham and cheese

Lots of mayo slathered on, lettuce, tomatoes and Autumn chill cap mushrooms tapanade.

[rubbersole]

31. Maybe it's the munchies, but that sounds delicious.

On marble bread and Dijon mustard. Oh, and please hold the mushrooms 🍄.

[Trueblue1968]

41. The mushrooms are thr best part. Opps, google ifirst

[SoFlaBro]

48. The fucking scumbag hates women and gays. NC Gov should be a nice Dem pickup running against a MAGA fuckwad.

[getagrip_already]

52. Or a baby... nt

[LetMyPeopleVote]

3. We need to defeat this asshole

[BootinUp]

11. It's so ridiculous. Nt

[MOMFUDSKI]

4. They hate women because they are

scared shitless of them. We are coming for you women-haters!

[ProudMNDemocrat]

5. The GOP war on women is REAL as water is wet to the touch.

Republicans will find out the hard way that when they fuck with women's rights, women will fuck them back and hard!

[underpants]

6. Swimming too. I remember this but didn't that it was at a women's event

Slaves weren’t allowed to learn how to swim either.

I think this was one of his big early moments to get attention. I didn’t know it was at a women’s event. Him and Candace Owens at the same time? Nope.

[Johonny]

7. Slavery just around the corner

They want it and will start demanding its return.

[greatauntoftriplets]

8. Any woman who votes for this idiot needs to have her head examined.

[CatWoman]

47. "This room full of women was quiet as he spoke"

[BootinUp]

9. Wow talk about divisive. I predict a simultaneous

Increase in the divorce rate!

[Red Mountain]

10. Robinson is just another grifter

He's nuts. He's in it for the money. He's an asshole. He brings nothing to the table.

Republicans will vote for him because they are lost. Their moral compass isn't broken.....they sold it to the devil for a couple more election wins.

We can peel off some. Enough, I think.

Somebody needs to pay for the ads this piece of shit is writing for us and run them 24/7.

[GuppyGal]

20. I often think this too....saying the most outrageous shit gains you popularity with the SOP Skank Old Party nt

[Celerity]

12. this black nazi POS can fuck right off

[XanaDUer2]

16. Who's the lady? Nt

[padah513]

33. I could be wrong but my guess is she's Robinson's wife.

[GiqueCee]

17. Trump should shove that thumb...

where the Sun don't shine, and then suck it. Christ on a crutch, I hate that sonofabitch.

[Beartracks]

29. Even his red tie is also stupidly too long. That seems familiar...

Of course, not being a model is certainly no reason to not vote for someone -- but modeling oneself after someone like Trump certainly is.

[BootinUp]

38. brain bleach!

[moondust]

13. He belongs in a psych ward.

Holocaust denier, Jew hater, misogynist, etc., etc.

[Lovie777]

14. As well as the rest of the GQPs......................................

[I_UndergroundPanther]

15. I hope

He has a heart attack ,gets hit by a bus I dont care as long as he is out of here.

These types of fuckers need to be made powerless. Shamed shunned and rejected by society.

[GuppyGal]

19. When I heard this backwood creatin say this I literally LOL'd ...he'd rather go back to a time of segregation too? HOw

about that you fucking JACKASS.

[ShazzieB]

22. He's unbelievable.

How anyone who calls themselves Republican can vote for such a vile pile of offal as this is beyond me.

It's beyond me how anyone who calls themselves human can vote for him.

He doesn't nelieve the holocaust really happened and all kinds of loony stuff. But his abusive attitude toward young adults who lived through mass shootings in their high school as teenagers is probably the worst thing I've heard about him. He is human garbage, afaic.

[surfered]

23. Please explain to me...

…why any woman would vote for this fool.

[whathehell]

64. Black and Hispanics voted for Trump..

Explain that.

[dflprincess]

26. Has anyone asked him how he feels about the MAGAts purging Black people from voting rolls?

Just wondering.

[appalachiablue]

66. ++

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

27. Repeat that loudly and proudly Robinson

After November we'll likely never hear from you again.

[Demobrat]

28. Vote to take away your right to vote.

Yeah, that makes sense.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

32. Republican women post on social sites how they agree their right to vote should cease to be a right. . . nt

[PlutosHeart]

36. Any reasons given?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

40. "emotions" mostly

Well lib women do tend to vote their emotions

I, as a “life-long woman” for over 80 years, have observed the truth of your statement.
I have reached the sad conclusion that women should have never been given the right to vote.

'Anti-feminist' female influencer sparks FURY after arguing that divorce should be ILLEGAL - and insisting that women shouldn't have the right to VOTE because they can't be drafted

{...} 'I think feminism overall was a bad thing. I think women are happier when we have a family and kids over a career in the long run,' she explained.
Davis claimed that children from single-mother households are more likely to drop out of school, go to prison, and have mental health issues.
She argued that in order to keep families together, we have to 'get rid of incentives that incentivize women to leave' their marriages, such as child support and alimony.
'I think we should ban divorce too. Yeah, I think that should be banned,' she said.

[whathehell]

42. Oppressed people do tend to internalize the negativity

that are projected on them.That said, I doubt this guy will get much mileage, even with RW women.

[unc70]

58. He already did in NC - Lt Governor

I'm afraid of what the NC GOP has done and will do. It is not a laughing matter. And the woman running for Superintendent of Public Instruction is even crazier. She wants to eliminate public schools!

[whathehell]

63. He's nominated, not elected

In any case, I'm not laughing.

[ecstatic]

34. In a fairly run election, he doesn't have a shot in hell.

Ask Herschel. And Herschel was a beloved football player.

[soldierant]

39. Misogyny is much more prevalent than racism.

I can't say how its numbers compare with homophobia - but, ou know, in a way it's the same thing. Both misogyny and homophobia are rejections of everyone but the straight male.

You will find misogynists in the Democratic Party.

[Demsrule86]

60. This idiot is against civil rights also.

[soldierant]

65. But of course he is.

[GenThePerservering]

44. "Now that we're past the primary ... he just needs to go to the people in North Carolina, explain that

“...and get their vote,” he said."

Tillis, you're a stupid dam' fool.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

45. He'll say that he didn't say that, or that liberals are twisting his words. and get away with it

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

46. also, his wife had an abortion.. now he says he is anti choice

[brewens]

49. Is he going to be okay with being called boy? That's what he wants to go back to. n/t

[FarPoint]

51. This man, Mark Robinson is beyond reach of long term mental health therapy.

He will get votes ...sure....but women will rise up ....vote him into the ground...

That's my sense of it...

[Attilatheblond]

53. If they can find a way to take our right to vote, they can take anybody's right to vote. Un-rich men need to wake up!

There has already been talk of getting rid of birthright citizenship and voting rights of anybody who does not own property.

Time for the low info MAGAs to wake the f up.

[getagrip_already]

54. Scotus is actually onto that....

They are beginning to bring back the concept of nullification.

You thought roe was unsettling established law, just wait.

Nullification will allow states to overturn any federal law they disagree with. It could even apply to amendments in the extreme.

Look to the Texas case on deportations as an early indicator. It's solid federal law, backed by the constitution, that the federal govt establishes border policy. But Texas is challenging that. The stay is only temporary. Scotus can decide to hear the case, and if they do, the walls may Crack a little.

Even without that case, there are others. Little by little federal powers will be eliminated, leaving states free to restrict woman and minorities in all sorts of ways.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

56. This asshole needs to be defeated

[ProudMNDemocrat]

57. Mark Robinson is to North Carolina like Doug Mastriano was to Pennsylvania.

Doug Mastriano was spewing the same garbage and lost to Josh Shapiro(also Jewish) for Governor of Pennsylvania.

Mark Robinson, being African-American, does not make his misogyny, antisemitism, anti-feminism any less HORRIFIC. Assholery does not discriminate.

[keithbvadu2]

59. Many in his party want to go back to the America where black folks could not vote.

Many in his party want to go back to the America where black folks could not vote.

He would get the MAGA votes for that

61. Why it matters that the GOP's Mark Robinson won a gubernatorial primary

Mark Robinson is such an extremist that his gubernatorial primary victory deserves to be seen as a genuine scandal for the contemporary Republican Party.

It is, in other words, possible to be too extreme for the Republican Party, even in 2024. Remarkably, however, North Carolina’s lieutenant governor apparently didn’t meet the threshold. NBC News reported overnight:

Democrat Josh Stein and Republican Mark Robinson have won their parties’ primaries for governor in North Carolina, NBC News projects, setting up a closely watched November matchup between two statewide elected officials that is all but certain to feature many of the themes that will define the national 2024 campaign. ... The stakes will be high in the race to replace term-limited Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper, as North Carolina is just one of two presidential swing states with races for governor.

The outcome was not close: The right-wing lieutenant governor finished with 66% support in a three-way primary, outpacing his next closest Republican rival by more than 47 points. North Carolina has 100 counties, and Robinson won all of them.

Even in an era in which over-the-top crackpots can excel in electoral politics, Robinson stands out as unique. For one thing, he’s shown the kind of overt antisemitism that candidates for major offices tend to avoid — up to and including his doubts about whether the Holocaust occurred.

......Looking ahead, there’s no shortage of relevant angles to this race. Will Robinson actually become North Carolina’s next governor? Will his absurd candidacy hurt the GOP’s chances in other races in the state?

But in the short term, the question I find myself stuck on is straightforward: Which Republicans — other than Donald Trump —are going to take a firm stand in support of Robinson’s candidacy? Because by any fair measure, his gubernatorial primary victory deserves to be seen as a genuine scandal for the contemporary GOP.

[femmedem]

62. He's a nut, but to be fair, this is taken out of context. He wasn't saying women shouldn't be able to vote.

He was saying he wanted to go back to a time when the Republican party fought for civil rights, including women's suffrage.

[Jilly_in_VA]

67. OK, fine, buddy

Do you also want to go back to the plantation? Or to the days of the literacy test, when the chances are that YOU couldn't vote? Stand down, dude.
