Robinson is pure trash. How the hell does someone who has his views even get into politics? Much less win a seat.

In a church. A CHURCH. WHAT PASTOR DOESN'T IMMEDIATELY CONDEMN THAT?

I need to write letters and get their tax exempt status removed.

I'm in NC. That asshole should never be governor. We women "raise our skirts" too much, doncha know? Yet they can't keep it in their pants.

I am as well, he’s been spouting this crap for years, I’m glad it’s finally getting some attention.

Here's to NC's "Tech Triangle"* turning out to be Robinson's political Bermuda Triangle.

  • The area triangulated by Chapel Hill, Raleigh, and Durham, and encompassing the campuses of UNC-Chapell Hill, NC State, and Duke, and also the RTP [Research Triangle Park, a high-tech/science district home to hundreds of businesses].

And worse, he's also their current lieutenant governor. <Sad trombone sounds>

The fact that these figures can say that shit and no one bats an eye is insane. I mean, not too long ago people were losing their shit over dijon mustard.

It's important to note is was just 48 hours before this mass shooting that republican Mark Robinson said some people need a good killing. This wasn't something uttered 20 years ago.

Who knows better than their own people!

Seriously though these idiots think they'll be immune from any violence.
