WASHINGTON ― Days before the election, North Carolina gubernatorial nominee Mark Robinson appeared to lash out at the Republican Party for abandoning him amid his controversies, not the least of which are disturbing comments he reportedly made on a porn site.for state superintendent of schools. After hailing Americans who fought in the Revolutionary War and in world wars, Robinson contrasted them with today’s elected officials, who he said “tuck tail and run” when faced with challenges.
“Then what are you going to do, Mr. Coward that wouldn’t stand up and fight? What are you going to do then?” he shouted. “You’re going to tuck tail and run. You’re going to turn on your fellow Republicans. You’re going to turn on your fellow so-called conservatives.”"Then what are you going to do, Mr. Coward that wouldn't stand up and fight?" Robinson shouted during a rally, apparently referring to Republicans who cut ties with him after CNN's report on his porn site comments.
Ironically, he urged his supporters to be like Trump ― who has publicly cut ties with Robinson ― to go up against Democrats.“We have got to continue to do what our former president and soon-to-be next president always does, and stand up and fight!” he said to applause.
