North Carolina's Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, now running to be governor of the Tar Heel State, rose to fame in the GOP by channeling the id of the typical MAGA voter. His speeches and social media presence channel a D-list shock jock mentality, filtered through a Christian nationalist lens, that's grown in popularity in the Trump era. He calls LGBTQ people "filth," "maggots," and "flies," insisting they should be forced to "find a corner outside" rather than be allowed to use public restrooms. He's denounced women's suffrage and argued that once a woman is pregnant, her body belongs to "the daddy." And before Tucker Carlson was embracing Holocaust denialism, Robinson was raving that it was "hogwash" to believe the Nazi genocide of Jews was precipitated by mass gun confiscation.
So it's no surprise that another clip of Robinson being the worst has emerged. This time Robinson is caught on camera in a 2022 church appearance, going on a tirade about how women don't need birth control because — as he gestures to his crotch for emphasis — they need to "get this under control" instead.
