NC GOP nominee advocated 51% voter exclusion

North Carolina Lt. Governor Mark Robinson, who won the GOP gubernatorial nomination Tuesday night after getting Donald Trump’s endorsement, has called for 51% of the Tar Heel State’s voters to be barred from voting.

The 51% are women.

HuffPost reports that “just four years ago, Robinson said he’d ‘absolutely’ like to return to the days when the 19th Amendment didn’t exist ― when women didn’t have the right to vote.”

“’I absolutely want to go back to the America where women couldn’t vote,’ Robinson said in a newly resurfaced video of his remarks at a March 2020 event hosted by the Republican Women of Pitt County.”

Robinson has been called “anunabashedChristiannationalist and virulentanti-LGBTQbigot,” by Right Wing Watch. And he has been accused of Holocaust denialism after writing, “This foolishness about Hitler disarming MILLIONS of Jews and then marching them off to concentration camps is a bunch of hogwash.”

Women in North Carolina are already under-represented.

“Women make up 51 percent of North Carolina’s population. But their representation in politics falls far short of that,” WHQR reported in 2020. “That’s according to a Status of Women in North Carolina report commissioned by the state and conducted by the Institute for Women’s Policy Research.”

Meanwhile, just yesterday a North Carolina man made headlines after declaring he would not vote for Republican Nikki Haley “because she’s female.”

“Well,” he added, “a woman’s not going to be a good president, she don’t have no balls to scratch, she’s just gonna scratch her head.”

Also on Wednesday another Trump voter, this time a woman in Texas, said: “I wouldn’t vote for a woman, and especially – you know, Nikki Haley, I’m just going to say this, she’s probably menopausal, we don’t need that.”

As HuffPost’s Jennifer Bender reports, Robinson has “claimed that feminism was created by Satan. He’s said that men who identify as feminists are “about as MANLY as a pair of lace panties” and are “weak mined, jelly backed ‘men.’”He’s routinely referred to feminists as “fem-nazis” and, in one particularly colorful post, described those who support equal rights for women as “sexist, hairy armpit having, poo-poo hat wearing pinkos.”

“The only thing worse than a woman who doesn’t know her place, is a man who doesn’t know his,” he wrote on Facebook in December 2017.
