He’s the Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina, he claims to be an Evangelical Christian and he’s the Republican nominee for the post of Governor in the 2024 election. Eager to identify himself as a candidate firmly affiliated to the right, he denies climate change, he opposes the legalization of marijuana and he’s spoken out in favour of gun rights. Controversially he has also made antisemitic remarks and has denied the holocaust. He has been praised by Donald Trump as “an unbelievable Lieutenant Governor”, “a very good man”, “a great one”, “a Martin Luther King times two” and “a Martin Luther King on steroids”. Yet Robinson himself described King as “worse than a maggot” and said that the civil rights movement was a communist plot to subvert capitalism and free choice.
Robinson has declared that he wants abortion to be outlawed completely, though he paid for his girlfriend, now his wife, to have her pregnancy terminated. In 2022 he criticized the availability of birth control pills and condoms, advocating that contraception should be banned. He described transgenderism as “filth”, but it’s now been revealed he was responsible for remarks put on the message board of the online forum Nude Africa, including that he enjoyed watching transgender pornography. “That’s fucking hot” he wrote, “Yeah I’m a perv too”.
On the same forum he wrote that he was a black Nazi who preferred Adolf Hitler to Barack Obama and supported the reinstatement of slavery.
Nothing like a bit of scandal and hypocrisy to instil confidence in the voters.
