Extremist pastor Mark Robinson wants to be North Carolina’s next governor, and his vision for the country is one of bloody ruthlessness.
“Some folks need killing!” Robinson declared in a lengthy sermon delivered on Sunday, which was first reported by The New Republic. “It’s time for somebody to say it. It’s not a matter of vengeance. It’s not a matter of being mean or spiteful. It’s a matter of necessity! When you have wicked people doing wicked things, torturing and murdering and raping. It’s time to call out, uh, those guys in green and go have them handled. Or those boys in blue and have them go handle it.”
Currently serving as the state’s lieutenant governor Robinson is caught in a tight race against North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein. Like many Republican 2024 hopefuls, he’s hitched his sled to the electoral machinery of former President Donald Trump. After much mutual praise between the two men, Trump officially endorsed Robinson in March, calling him “Martin Luther King on steroids.” If the two men share any similarities, it’s a fantasy of retribution against their political enemies.
