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.
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.
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.
I wish Robinson would just go away. He’s an embarrassment to the state. People who support the Guardians of Pedophiles (GOP) already know what they support.
Where were the women of the GOP weighing in on Robinson during his campaign, or after? I can't think of any, except Virginia Fox, but I don't remember a journalist asking them about the Grand Old Pornographer
Robinson may look like a cartoon character, but he isn’t an exception — he’s the predictable outcome of a political ecosystem where outrage is the currency and devotion to a single leader outweighs any commitment to the Constitution
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 hope they both end up in the dustbin of irrelevancy.
I can’t image how these miscreants get anyone besides themselves to vote for them.

Apologies for the theft of someone else’s IP but this was just too good!
Indeed.

me too, me too!
agree — there will be a morning after for Trump and his merry men and women.
I would feel better if crawled back into the hole he came from.

When will this disgrace to the Republican Party in NC find a private pasture to roam around in?
You are so, so, so right! Won't these deeply disturbed extremists just PLEASE go away?!

Please, please run again in a Republican primary for some state-wide position! You're their perfect candidate!
Such a gross human being

Tabitha lives in Atlanta and had a bit to say about Mr Robinson.

Maybe Robinson got jealous because Michele Morrow was back in the limelight when she decided to run for the GOP primary for Tillis's open senate seat.
Just when you think that joking to Japan about leadership is as low as it can go, we get this:
{Former FBI Director Robert Mueller has died at the age of 81, and President Donald Trump gave a sharp reaction on Truth Social.
"Robert Mueller just died," Trump posted on Truth Social.
"Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!" Trump added.}
I love this line "He's a good representation of what the party has become."
