Christian nationalist North Carolina Republican Lt. Governor Mark Robinson, currently the leading candidate for the GOP nomination for governor, launched an attack on transgender women years after the Tar Heel State’s last GOP governor cost the state millions – and possibly billions – of dollars, and cost him his political career over the very same issue.
“We’re going to defend women in this state,” vowed Robinson, according to WUNC, at a campaign stop earlier this month. “That means if you’re a man on Friday night, and all the sudden on Saturday, you feel like a woman, and you want to go in the women’s bathroom in the mall, you will be arrested — or whatever we got to do to you.”
“In campaign speeches in recent weeks,” WUNC added, “Robinson suggested that people who previously identified as male should be ‘arrested’ if they go in a women’s bathroom. Instead, he suggests they should ‘find a corner outside somewhere’ to relieve themselves.”
In a different campaign speech Robinson said, “if you are confused, find a corner outside somewhere to go. We’re not tearing society down because of this.”
Wonder how he’d feel about being told the same thing, but because of his skin color.
Some people are quite dense.
Dudes a textbook “pharisee” christian. Just look at the “personal life” portion of his wiki.
Anyone who gets their political philosophy from Rush Limbaugh is a dipshit who wants to be lied to or a grifter.
The very same Rush Limbaugh who denied smoking causes cancer and who died of lung cancer caused by smoking.
Cancer still sucks ass, but sometimes? Sometimes it’s ok.
“I read Rush Limbaugh’s book and discovered that I was in fact Uncle Ruckus!”
No relation!
I just did that. Dude is off the hook. I don’t think there’s anyone he doesn’t hate or impugn, to the point that he is literally a one-man caricature of everything GOP – including having paid for a woman’s abortion. This ONE guy:
Anti-gay
Anti-trans
Anti-semite (repeatedly and openly, ad nauseam)
Supports “white pride” saying it is not racist (!!!)
Regularly engages in hate speech
Joined in the Obama “birther” drama
Called Michelle Obama “a man” and uses other derogatory terms for women
Uses racist and ethnic slurs regularly (against Chinese, Native Americans, even African Americans)
Holocaust denier
Nazi and fascism defender
Anti-Muslim
Covid denier
Anti-science (wants to remove it and social studies from schools)
Wants to abolish state board of education
Pro school vouchers
Mocked Pulse and Parkland shootings and survivors
Pro Moms for Liberty
Climate change denialist
Campaign finance fuckery
Multiple bankruptcies
Lied about his taxes (and got caught)
Paid for an abortion (says now it was for his wife, lol)
Seeing as how Wikipedia only hits the highlights, it makes you wonder about what they left out. Your comment gets my “Most Polite Understatement of the Year” vote.
This person, specifically. Been following this twit for some time. I’m sure his mother loves him. I guess.
The sad thing is that his right to use the bathroom is protected.
However, there is absolutely nothing saying we can’t accuse him of being a transwoman and denying him the bathroom.
Because tHaT’s FrEe SpEaCh
I often think about this, but I think it sends the wrong message — that your gender is a privilege you can lose, and other people can willingly respect or not. As much as I hate these people, I don’t wanna detract from the trans community’s comfort zone if that makes sense. Weaponizing pronouns and gendered language only stoops to the low low level of right wingers
Let’s not treat being trans as an insult.
It’s only an insult to them.
