Mark Robinson's Violent Rhetoric Sparks Backlash

North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson is facing significant backlash for remarks made during a June 30 speech at Lake Church, where he stated that 'some folks need killing.' Robinson drew controversial comparisons to World War II military actions, asserting that political violence is a 'matter of necessity.' His comments, reported by The New Republic and circulated widely online, have been condemned by various individuals, including North Carolina Representative Wiley Nickel, who described them as 'scary.' Robinson's history of making extreme statements, including Holocaust denial and derogatory remarks about the LGBTQ community, adds to the controversy. Despite this, he remains a competitive candidate for North Carolina's gubernatorial race, endorsed by former President Donald Trump.
