Lieutenant Governor, Mark Robinson\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

North Carolina\u2019s Lieutenant Governor,<\/p>\n

Folks, here\u2019s some news you NEED to know about. As he should be, North Carolina\u2019s Lieutenant Governor,\u00a0Mark Robinson<\/strong><\/a>, is embroiled in controversy following a provocative speech at Lake Church in White Lake, North Carolina, on June 30. A clip from the event has been circulating online, in which Robinson, a staunch MAGA Republican and gubernatorial candidate endorsed by former President Donald Trump, can be heard saying \u201cSome folks need killing<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The video shows Robinson discussing the importance of Independence Day and emphasizing the need to protect freedom \u201cat all cost.\u201d His comments quickly drew ire, particularly when he mentioned that there exist people in the nation who care only about control, without regard for political affiliation.<\/p>\n

\u201cFolks, you see, there\u2019s a class of people in this nation that want you to forget that,\u201d Robinson proclaimed. \u201cThey want control. They don\u2019t care about Democrats, they don\u2019t care about Republicans, they don\u2019t care about anything. They care about control.\u201d<\/p>\n

Robinson compared the current state of the nation to the U.S. military\u2019s actions during World War II, referencing the attack on Pearl Harbor by Japan in December 1941. He stated, \u201cWe didn\u2019t quibble about it. We didn\u2019t argue about it. We didn\u2019t fight about it. We killed it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The most incendiary part of his speech came shortly after, where he dismissed potential backlash from \u201csome liberal somewhere,\u201d who might find his words offensive, Newsweek\u00a0reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cToo bad,\u201d he said. \u201cGet mad at me if you want to. Some folks need killing. It\u2019s time for somebody to say it. It\u2019s not a matter of vengeance. It\u2019s not a matter of being mean or spiteful. It\u2019s a matter of necessity.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
