North Carolina’s lieutenant governor is facing mounting calls for his resignation after he was caught on video calling transgender people “filth.”

The video, which was first posted Wednesday by Right Wing Watch, showed the first-term Republican making the comments during a speech at Asbury Baptist Church in June.

“There’s no reason anybody, anywhere in America should be telling children about transgenderism, homosexuality, any of that filth,” Mark Robinson said in the video, which has gone viral. “Yes, I called it filth.”

The comments were condemned by the White House this week. “These words are repugnant and offensive,” said Andrew Bates, White House deputy press secretary and a native of North Carolina, in a statement. “The role of a leader is to bring people together and stand up for the dignity and rights of everyone; not to spread hate and undermine their own office.”

What does “facing backlash” actually amount to?

[MachIV]

Mark tells people what he really thinks and doesn’t give a flaming crap who does or does not like it. Excellent.

[Bernard]

You mean Obamanation?

[GreenHornet]

Mark Robinson owes filth an apology.

[right way right]

He needs to stick to his guns.

I'm moving to North Carolina this month. I am voting for this guy before long. Big 2nd amendment guy as I understand it.

Note the headline is a lie.

The Lt. Governor did not call transgender people filth.

He called their sexual acts "filth".

Big difference.

[marktwain]

Mark Robinson is a courageous black man, with a brilliant talent for oratory.

He is not a career politician.

I do not believe he will back down.

He’s right you know

What does “facing backlash” actually amount to?

Probably some snowflakes got their knickers in a twist on Twitter.

And very likely ones who enjoy filth.

I was hoping someone would point that out.

"They count on people pretending it’s normal."

It is normal for a child want to be like mommy or daddy for a short time...this is now too often taken as wanting gender change...it is a whole different emotion; it is one of adoration for a parent, or Aunt or Uncle even another child all of the opposite gender.

Doctors who fail the child and the parent should have their license to practice removed and the LGBT ought to quit being given "stage Center"!

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Call's 'em like he see's 'em. Brutally honest. God said it. I believe it. That settles it.

Leviticus 18:22–23

“You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination. Also you shall not have intercourse with any animal to be defiled with it, nor shall any woman stand before an animal to mate with it; it is a perversion.”

Leviticus 20:13

“If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their blood guiltiness is upon them.”

The Gaystapo is after him!

[sauropod]

I’d call them fascists.

Cuz that’s what they are!

[SuperLuminal]

The term “filthy scum” is far more appropriate...

However, being a Republican, hope he enjoys a closeup of the underside of the bus headed his way...

Now lets just hope he doesn’t cave and apologize.

“....“These words are repugnant and offensive,”...”

Aside from Ms. Vincent lying in the headline (how far the NY Post has fallen), cue Austin Powers . . .
