He and his wife are also both grifters and con artists. Multiple bankruptcies and evictions, vehicles repossessed. He didn't file federal income taxes for 5 straight years. She just closed down a "non profit" company she was running because she's under investigation for stealing federal money. And this con man cites scripture and talks about personal responsibility.

[@Kathy-pr4wu]

Mark Robinson has such a low opinion of women. So what was the story behind his wife's abortion 30 years ago? Could it be (just speculating, no "claims") that she found him so repulsive that she took a lover and got pregnant by that man, and Mark wasn't about to be raising some other man's child? To forestall replies defending the hideous monster, saying, "Maybe it was an ectopic pregnancy and she needed the abortion to save her life"--let me explain further: If that were the case 30 years ago, that his wife had an ectopic pregnancy or other complication threatening her life, then Mark Robinson should have had much more sympathy over the last 30 years for other women who needed abortions in similar circumstances, but you heard him. That was in 2019 he said "Abortion in this country is not about protecting the lives of mothers. It's about killing the child because you weren't responsible enough to keep your skirt down." He thinks women seeking abortions are promiscuous. And in 2020 he supported a 6-week abortion ban saying, "for me, there is no compromise on abortion." He has NEVER cared about the lives of women, he has stated he thinks women should not have the right to vote. So don't try to defend Mark Robinson. He's far worse than Trump. ***UPDATE*** I just learned that the video we all just recently saw where Robinson, with his wife sitting silently beside him as he explained the abortion 30 years ago, was actually made and posted to his Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson Facebook account OVER 2 YEARS AGO on March 24, 2022. So it begs the question, why are we only hearing about it now? The answer is clear: It's because he's desperately trying to stay relevant, and try to get sympathy votes in the upcoming NC gubernatorial election.

I’m sorry if others didn’t think the same way. If you have them, take care of them. I was married before I had a child. I was in the home and I took care of me and mine. She’s 30 now so I don’t have to worry about it until the daddy I need some money call. lol 😢 My exwife told me to cut the apron strings but my child is still my child.

Good man, Gov. Cooper. Putting his Country first.

[@cvagresto]

The Lt. Governor of North Carolina is no more a Godly man, as satin is.

[@minutemeditations14All]

Satin ? No wonder Trump adores the poorly educated. They can’t spell, read or write, and are extremely easy to fool. Perfect for his cause.

You mean Satan!

Only respect for Roy Cooper 💙💙💙

[@sangvannarath6059]

Is that Lt Gov clown for real??

[@Don-md6wn]

Look him up. It only gets worse. He makes Trump look reasonable.

[@sport1girl]

He says that the Civil Rights was just a silly thing. That MLK is a communist. He's a horrible, hateful person. He set up a website so parents could report teachers for indoctrination. It backfired because the only indoctrination was coming from the far right. He shut it down. Lol

Thank you, Govenor Cooper for protecting women in your state. You're topnotch!

He is Orange because he is rotten. Time to move on. Vote for Kamala 💙💙💙💙💙

As a North Carolinian, I appreciate you for staying in leadership here as our governor. We cannot allow that toxic man to be the governor of North Carolina or even pretend to be.

Well done Mr Cooper! 👏💙👏
