A GOP gone rancid

Mark Robinson won the North Carolina gubernatorial primary with a whopping 65 percent of the vote. If he defeats Democrat Josh Stein in the general election in November, he will become the first Black governor of the Tar Heel State.

Good?

Robinson has a shocking history of bigoted, offensive, and frankly, deranged remarks.

Even in a MAGA-fueled GOP dominated by far-right freaks and crazies, by the Marjorie Taylor Greenes and Paul Gosars, Robinson now stands out.

[...]

Robinson is a Holocaust denier.

[...]

The Holocaust-as-hogwash GOP candidate has also posted quotes from Hitler, encouraged conservatives to start re-reading the words of Hitler, and spread a number of bizarre antisemitic conspiracies, from claiming that the Marvel movie ‘Black Panther’ was “created by an agnostic Jew and put to film by satanic Marxists” that was “only created to pull the shekels out of your Schvartze pockets” (Schvartze being a Yiddish slur for Black people), to accusing Jewish billionaire George Soros of somewhat orchestrating Boko Haram’s kidnapping of more than 200 Nigerian schoolgirls in 2014.

[...]

Robinson posted a long Islamophobic screed on Facebook in 2017 in which he accused Muslim Americans of being "INVADERS" who “impose their will on their host by force.”

[...]

He is running on a pro-life platform, saying he would “absolutely” ban abortion from conception onwards and insisting last month that he would push to reduce the abortion limit from 12 weeks to 6 weeks and beyond

In 2012, however, the GOP candidate admitted to having paid for an abortion.

[...]

He has mocked actresses for protesting sexual harassment in “whore dresses” while defending Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby as victims of a left-wing “plot” to silence them for their “so-called sexual crimes.”

[...]

Robinson called Joy Behar a “she-beast,” Hillary Clinton a “heifer” and Michelle Obama a man.

[...]

His long record of dehumanizing rhetoric includes referring to gay people as “maggots” and denouncing same-sex relationships as a “FILTHY ABOMINATION,” and a “satanic cult of sexual perversion.”

[...]

Robinson not only wants to ban transgender women from women’s bathrooms but also have them arrested, too.

[...]

He has referred to the scientific consensus on man-made climate change as “unproven science” and “pseudoscience, junk science, that has not proven a single solitary thing.”

For Robinson, “God is the one who has blessed us to have all this fuel under our feet” and not burning fossil fuels is an “affront” to the Lord.

[...]

Donald J. Trump, heaped praise on Robinson at a rally last week, describing him as “Martin Luther King on steroids” and adding: “I think you’re better than Martin Luther King. I think you are Martin Luther King times two.”

Of course he did.

Are we certain Robinson isn't a white man in a black man suit?

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
