CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WNCN) – A North Carolina senator is calling for Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson (R) to resign after he made comments referring to homosexuality as filth.

Sen. Jeff Jackson (D-Mecklenburg) called for the resignation after Right Wing Watch tweeted out a clip of Robinson on Wednesday.

Robinson was speaking at Asbury Baptist Church in Seagrove in June when he made the comments.

“There’s no reason anybody anywhere in America should be telling any child about transgenderism, homosexuality, any of that filth. And yes I called it filth. And if you don’t like that I called it filth, come see me and I’ll explain it to you,” Robinson said in the video.

He said the topics of “transgenderism and homosexuality” have no place in public schools.

“I watched it five times before I was convinced that he was saying what I thought he was saying,” Jackson said.

“I just don’t think he’s had enough conversations with members of this community that they are every bit deserving of respect as everyone else in this state.”

Robinson said children are being indoctrinated at public schools and he railed against not having God in schools.

“We have reached a point in public schools now, where first off, we’re telling our children ‘don’t be so sure you’re a little girl or a little boy,'” Robinson said.

You left out Sylva, NC......a few weeks ago they had their first ‘gay parade’......and the hometown paper ran it.

I knew Sylva ran a bit liberal, but never expected this!

There are many small towns around that abhor this.......salt of the earth, church going.....
...but with a Democrat Governor...and aDemocrat mayors in some of these towns.....it’s hard.
A lot of these folks have been Democrat through many generations.....
....a lot of hem voted for Trump in 2016......
They are conservative as the day is long.

“There’s no reason anybody anywhere in America should be telling any child about transgenderism, homosexuality, any of that filth. And yes I called it filth. And if you don’t like that I called it filth, come see me and I’ll explain it to you,” Robinson said in the video.

I don't see the problem. Rather, it is time—indeed past time—for our "conservative" leaders to publicly come out against all this filth.

[phoneman08]

Yes, he would. I hope he runs.

****after he made comments referring to homosexuality as filth. ***

Well, if you google “homosexual scat” you will agree with him!

WARNING! DON’T GOOGLE IT! What has been seen cannot be unseen!

DemonRats can’t stand for anyone to tell the truth.

[Mr Rogers]

He’s right. The truth must be hidden at all cost. Liberalism cannot hold up under the light of truth.

[sport]

The truth hurts, doesn’t it?

Democrats are desperate.

How dare him exercise his 1st Amendment of free speech.

Accepting of gays is not the same as approving of the life style and sexual behavior. A few years back there was a discussion among Black Christian leaders about addressing the large number of gay black men in a community already bereft of black fathers and mentors.

Thanks Libloather.

The homosexual mafia has a lot of time on its hands.

The “alphabet people” have a severe mental disorder and have chosen a lifestyle that is, in the words of God, an “obamanation”.

The bible calls sodomite conduct filthy.

6 and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly;

7 and delivered righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked

- 2 Pe 2:6-7

Bravo, Mark Robinson. I’d vote for him.

The search term makes me ill.

“There’s no reason anybody, anywhere in America should be telling children about transgenderism, homosexuality, any of that filth,” Robinson said in the video, which was filmed in June at Asbury Baptist Church. “And yes, I called it filth.”

It should be noted what he Actually said.
Something I have noticed over the decades. When A Republican or Conservative says something "Controversial", what you read in the media is not always Exactly what they Really said.

[MHGinTN]

Political Crorrectness run amok. This man will be a great governor! Scares the demon rats to just think of it!

[Allegra]

I hope he hangs tough and won’t resign. Enough with all of these brain-dead offended people calling the shots.
