In a newly unearthed video, North Carolina’s GOP nominee for governor says America was better then because Republicans "fought for real social change."
“because in those days we had people who fought for real social change, and they were called Republicans.”
This room full of women was quiet as he spoke, though a faint “That’s right” could be heard when Robinson later said Republicans ended Jim Crow laws.
There’s a non-outrage-inducing non-headline grabbing logic here that is him saying he wishes republicans were more liberal
It’s very different from saying “I don’t think women should be allowed to vote”
If the masses can’t distinguish between these two concepts (they certainly cannot) then it is what it is. Pillory the guy, I don’t give an F, I wouldn’t have voted a republican in to a leadership position anyway due to the party’s policies and issues that are systemic.
“If blacks should stand up against racism, and women should stand up against sexism…shouldn’t men stand up against feminism?” he posted on Sept. 20, 2016.
That same day, he also wrote, “I am REALLY sick of feminism and feminist. They are just as bad, if not worse, than racist.”
There’s plenty more to revisit with Robinson’s attacks on women, including calling them “whores,” “witches” and “rejected drag queens.” There’s also his record of quoting Adolf Hitler, fanning Islamophobia, saying trans people should be arrested for using bathrooms, casting doubts on the Holocaust and spreading countless dangerous conspiracy theories.
