Mark Robinson, Republican Lieutenant Governor and candidate for Governor of North Carolina, has viciously attacked the LGBTQ+ community, particularly Trans people. He’s referred to Gay and Trans people as “filth,” and said Gay people are equivalent to “what the cows leave behind,” as well as “maggots” and “flies.” In February, he said Trans women should be arrested and brutalized for using women’s bathrooms, and suggested they instead “find a corner outside somewhere” to relieve themselves". In July, he stated that “Some folks need killing!” Also Mark Robinson: “I like watching tranny on girl porn! That’s fucking hot! It takes the man out while leaving the man in!” Also Mark Robinson: He referred to himself as a “black NAZI!” “I’d take Hitler over any of the shit that’s in Washington right now!”' “Slavery is not bad. Some people need to be slaves. I wish they would bring it [slavery] back. I would certainly buy a few”. “I absolutely want to go back to the America where women couldn’t vote.” “The only thing worse than a woman who doesn’t know her place, is a man who doesn’t know his.” “He is the Republican Party writ large.” Steven Greene, North Carolina State University political science professor "Republican voters knew who Robinson was, and they chose him anyway." The difference between the Democrats and the Republicans in this election is stark..." Heather Cox Richardson
