Misquoted? Completely wrong? I don’t think so, brutha.
Digital video can be the darnedest thing. Especially for politicians who have to run away from — paraphrasing Chris Tucker in ‘Rush Hour’ – “the words coming out of [their] mouth(s).”
Our lieutenant governor – excuse me, governor-in-waiting, was being fawned over this morning during an appearance on ‘Real America’s Voice’ news. He spent a good amount of time complaining about media always wanting to ask him about social issues. (Never mind that rants about gays constitute most of his social media posts and public utterances.) Interestingly, RAV invited him on this morning to talk about men in ladies restrooms. Up until now, it has not been an issue in North Carolina’s 2024 election. (*Balanced Nutrition, $30k-per-week beach houses, misleading the IRS, and possibly obtaining improper federal loans SHOULD be an issue, though.*)
A drive-by published a story featuring some video of recent Robinson campaign speeches where he ranted about this particular subject. One thing that appeared to catch the drive-by’s attention was Robinson reportedly saying that trannies just need to “go outside.”
Robinson addressed that account today on RAV, suggesting that he had been, um, “misquoted” :
“[…] It’s funny. These folks, not only do they misquote me, they get it completely wrong. I told folks that we were going to protect women’s sports and if they didn’t like it, they could find a corner and go cry in it.[…]”
As they say on certain sporting events, ‘let’s go to the tape’:
[…] We’re not going to have conversations about which bathroom to use. If you are a man and on Friday night you at the mall on Saturday night you better go to the mens bathroom. If you are confused, find a corner outside somewhere. […]
Hmmm. I didn’t hear anything about women’s sports there. (*Maaaaaaaaybe he was talking about ANOTHER speech.*)
Oh, and the whole spin from the lieutenant governor suggesting that he’s clamming up because he’s said all he wants to say about social issues? I think it has more to do with his campaign aides clamping down on him due to PR-inspired headaches his mouth causes them.
One of the THREE co-hosts on the RAV show snapped out of the spell and decided to ask Robinson about what he might do for North Carolina as governor. Here’s what the governor-in-waiting had to say:
[…] “North Carolina has a grand opportunity to do something it’s been talking about for years which is spreading our economy from Murphy to Manteo. Building up those places in the eastern part of the state. Building up the places in the western part of the state.
And that is exactly what we’re going to focus on. we want to make sure we start the process to build North Carolina into an absolute superpower – economic superpower — where the economy expands from one side of the state to the other. And no matter where you stand, you are able to take the economic opportunity in your communities and we want to do it community by community city by city and county by county. and that’s how we are gonna get it done and that’s what were going to focus on.” […]
Okay, got THAT? *Hmmm, I wonder if he happened to share this master plan with his fellow Republicans, the speaker of the house and the president pro tem of the senate, while he’s been serving as president of the state senate?*
Remember, Republicans. There ARE two more choices to evaluate in this gubernatorial primary. You are not necessarily stuck with HIM.
Brant, I would say there is only ONE other conservative choice, and that is State Treasurer Dale Folwell. Bill Graham is endorsed by “Traitor Thom” Tillis and his campaign is being run by Tillis’ organization. He is a non-starter. Folwell is not only the only true conservative fighter in the race, but also the only one who can win in November.
Maybe this incident partially explains why Robinson has been afraid of his own shadow on taking stands on issues in the General Assembly. He has been asleep at the switch. Is he afraid his inexperience will cause him to put his foot in his mouth?
Dale has my vote. I’m also voting for Ryan Mayberry in NC District 5 instead of Virginia Foxx. She’s out of step with where the country needs to go and she’s been there for as long as too many of us can remember. Thom Tillis and Rep. Fox are two reasons why there needs to be term limits for members of Congress.
It’s a Job Interview. We’re hiring an employee.
This isn’t personal. Robinson supporters get upset when you declare you’re no longer supporting him, but you’ve turned to Folwell.

The more I read and hear about Fat Mark, the more I am convinced of his arrogance and stupidity. Hopefully people will see him for what he is soon.
Thank you for the bringing this story to light, Brant. It’s amazing to hear his words, then watch him try to spin them. He’ll be spinning from now until November if he wins the Primary. God help us all.

This place is sounding like RINO LAND….Don’t give up on Mr. Robinson so quickly. I predict that he will be the next Governor of NC…anyone backed by Thom Tillis is a NO FOR ME. Tillis is a TURNCOAT RINO that I voted for twice and it will NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN ! PUT AMERICA FIRST FOR ONCE>>>>DEFUND UKRAINE NOW ! #$$NINE BILLION TO GAZA = A DONATION TO HAMAS ! ! WHAT A DISGRACEFUL VOTE SEN. TILLIS ! !
Bill Graham is indeed a despicable Tillis RINO. Agreed. But Dale Folwell is the only dependable conservative in the race. Robinson is all talk and no DO. He has let us down on issue after issue in the General Assembly. And Robinson’s connections to uber-RINO Phil Berger are as big a concern as Graham’s connections to TIllis
NEVER TILLIS, NEVER BERGER. Vote Folwell.
NO conservative is backing Graham. The choice between a talker and a man of action is clear: Dale Folwell .
What about the Light Governor’s comments about the role of women in the home, professional fields, CHURCH, & public volunteerism??? Sounds like he is running for Chairman of the Southern Baptist Convention!!!
Robinson said all gay people are filth. Several of my gay Republican friends will not be voting for him. I don’t blame them.
