Or did the right thing.
Not this time, obviously, but sometimes.
The article doesn't specify, but what kind of 'activity on adult websites' is damaging to the point that a candidate would be pressed to drop out?
There's another post with quotes. He said he's "a black Nazi" and would join the KKK if they'd let black people in. Also, slavery should be brought back and that he'd buy a few.
This and he relayed a story about peeping on women shower without their knowledge, and talked about how he liked trans porn even though he has pushed for extreme anti trans legislation.
Let's also not forget that this is the guy who argued that "some folks need killing" and seemed to be saying that this was a reasonable (perhaps even necessary) response to people getting "cancelled" and social media banning people for the things they say.
Buckle up, you’re in for a wild read!
“Surely it’s not that wild,” you might be thinking. Well it is. One of the tamer quotes:
“Slavery is not bad. Some people need to be slaves. I wish they would bring it (slavery) back. I would certainly buy a few,” he wrote.
Robinson said he enjoyed watching transgender pornography
Called it. The slavery and Nazi shit is not what they care about.
He's a Republican, so anything queer-related.
"Dead girl or live boy"
Crazy racist speech. Think a real life Clayton Bigsby.
Don’t listen to those weak-kneed pencil-pushers, Mark! Stay in the race. You’re helping deliver the Governor’s mansion to Josh Stein and hopefully NC’s electoral votes to Harris-Walz!
