Robinson is also a bona fide grifter who used state contracts to bail out his family because he presumably couldn't support himself legitimately. He's the gift that keeps on giving.
Miscreants, what a great word! I just get the heebie-jeebies whenever people like him, and the entire SAVE agenda, take the podium. I felt a tug in my heart over the saying that women don't really care about voting.
I’m convinced that the difference in the Republican party today and the one that gave us Nixon is a difference in degree, not in kind. Well, degree and packaging. Nixon tanked the Paris Peace talks to win the 1968 election. Reagan did much the same with the mullahs in 1980. Oh, and he gave us ALEC and Trickle Down Economics and we thanked him for it. Bush the Elder gave us Willie Horton and the fear of Scary Immigrants. Had he won another term, who knows what would have grown out of that. Bush the Younger — or really Newt Gingrich before him — is where the dog whistles started becoming foghorns, but there was nothing new going on there. It was just more brazen. The grifting was a little more obvious, but that had always ben there too. Enter Trump, stage left, with no filter and MAGA treats him as a messiah not because he’s brought anything new to the party, but because he’s removed all pretense from what has always been happening. Mark Robinson is the natural and inevitable evolution (or maybe mutation is a better word) of that.
You've just written one of the best descriptions of the Republican Party's devolution that I've ever read. At 75, having been politically active since my teens, I've seen it all in realtime. From Nixon's "Ratfuckers" to the outright treasonous MAGATs of today, none of it has been by chance, which makes it all even more heinous. Although I can no longer physically protest, I continue to do what I can to resist and fight the Republican destruction machine. I only hope I live to see them all pay for their crimes against humanity and our democracy.

THIS MAGAt encompasses all of what the current Republican Party is. Maybe Phil Berger can be a guest on his podcast for pathetic has beens!
I can’t image how these miscreants get anyone besides themselves to vote for them.

When will this disgrace to the Republican Party in NC find a private pasture to roam around in?
I would feel better if crawled back into the hole he came from.
Such a gross human being
Deserving nothing...
