Mark Robinson Declares 'Some Folks Need Killing' In Bonkers Rant
HuffPost
"We need to start handling our business again," the North Carolina GOP nominee for governor told churchgoers.
North Carolina Lt. Gov Mark Robinson, the state’s Republican nominee for governor, went on a bizarre unhinged rant and declared that “some folks need killing” in speech at a church last week.
“It’s time for somebody to say it. It’s not a matter of vengeance. It’s not a matter of being mean or spiteful. It’s a matter of necessity,” said Robinson, a conspiracy theorist who is endorsed by former President Donald Trump.
He continued, “When you have wicked people doing wicked things, torturing and murdering and raping. It’s time to call out, uh, those guys in green and go have them handled. Or those boys in blue and have them go handle it.”
Robinson, whose speech was first reported by The New Republic, has a history of controversial remarks including in 2020 when he said he’d “absolutely want to go back to the America where women couldn’t vote.”
He’s also called the 1960s civil rights movement “crap,” shared Islamophobic posts, quoted Adolf Hitler, denied the Holocaust, called for transgender women to “find a corner outside somewhere” if they need to use a public bathroom and described school shooting survivors as “spoiled, angry, know it all CHILDREN.”
