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.”

Evil people pushing evil things on children will inherit HELL.
Count on it.
He’s black so anyone attacking him is a racists, right?
He called their sexual acts "filth".
Big difference.
I must be missing the difference.
The more I hear about Mark Robinson, the more I might agree with you.
He is BELOVED in Western North Carolina.
I hope to hear him at a gathering soon
He won’t....Not ever!
He's Republican so that doesn't matter.
Robinson is solid! Welcome to NC!
You're right. The first group will know his apology isn't sincere and the second group might be afraid it is. Better to just let it be.
I must be missing the difference.
What people do is different from what people are.
People who smoke are not necessarily bad people, just because most people think smoking is a "filthy" habit.
When you identify them solely by what they do then where is the differentiation?
Regardless at least Robinson has the courage of his convictions and isn't walking back what he said. Standing by what you believe is still a rare commodity in politics these days.
They don’t believe lin letting us alone.
And us putting up with them means God is going to stop putting up with us.
Depends on what loving the sinner is defined as. These days, it sure isn’t “tough love”.
I don't know him, and am guessing he is one of ours.
I sure hope so, bet that fellow pack a PUNCH!
And the pews too.
Headline is wrong...He didn’t call people filth, he labeled the activity/behavior/movement filth.
I hope he doesn't.
Sure, just like anyone attacking Ben Carson or Larry Elder is racist . . . oh wait.
The curtain needs to be pulled back from this deranged lifestyle to expose it for its true nature. I try as I can on this website. The "gay disease" itself is convincing enough proof of the unwholesomeness of homosexuality. But there is much, much more than even that.
Former homosexual Ronald G. Lee's excellent essay should be convincing to those with an open mind and eyes to see.
Finally, it must be emphasized that religions, and those who adhere to religious doctrines, may continue to advocate with utmost, sincere conviction that, by divine precepts, same-sex marriage should not be condoned. The First Amendment ensures that religious organizations and persons are given proper protection as they seek to teach the principles that are so fulfilling and so central to their lives and faiths, and to their own deep aspirations to continue the family structure they have long revered. The same is true of those who oppose same-sex marriage for other reasons.
Those are the words of Kennedy writing for the majority in Obergefell in redefining marriage to be anything and everything. This assurance in this paragraph is exactly what this Lt. Gov was depending on.
Again, were sodomites lying in this opinion?
Good to hear a politician tell the truth!
