On Facebook, NC's Republican candidate for lieutenant governor lashes out, insults

RALEIGH, N.C. — On Facebook, the Republican nominee for North Carolina lieutenant governor says Hollywood is demonic. He bashes Black people for giving their "shekels" to satanic or Jewish movie producers. He insults famous women and sees cultural acceptance of homosexuality as part of a slide toward pedophilia and "the end of civilization as we know it."

He apologizes for none of this.

“Absolutely," Mark Robinson, a Greensboro man making his first run for public office, said this week. "I’m not ashamed of anything that I post.”

In his posts, Robinson, who is Black, often lashes out at other Black people. In one from 2018, he said "half of black Democrats don't realize they are slaves and don't know who their masters are. The other half don't care."

Robinson addressed his social media posts during a Thursday night taping of On The Record, which airs Saturday at 7:30 p.m.
