Conservative Rising Star Mark Robinson to Announce Run for Governor of North Carolina

“Should he run and win, Robinson will become the first black governor in the state’s history.”

Mark Robinson became a viral hit in 2018 when he defended law-abiding gun owners at a city council meeting.

Two years later, he made history by becoming the first African-American Lt. Governor of North Carolina.

Now he is planning to run for governor of the state. Good for him.

The Washington Examiner reports:

North Carolina’s Mark Robinson expected to announce gubernatorial campaign in April

Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson (R-NC) is widely expected to announce a campaign for governor next month, boosting Republican hopes of recapturing North Carolina’s governor mansion.

Robinson’s team teased a “major rally and announcement” on April 22 located at Alamance County’s Ace Speedway, which emerged as a key flashpoint during the pandemic for permitting races without social distancing or masks in May 2020. The event is expected to serve as his campaign launch.

I remember when I first saw the video of Robinson, at the city council meeting, standing up and defending the 2nd Amendment. I cheered out loud and said he should run for public office and apparently others agreed. He soon did and is now Lt. Governor of NC. We need more like him in office.

North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, according to a report from Talking Points Memo, has for years used his Facebook feed to promote racist, ..., viewpoints and memes.

Errr... they do know he's black, right? I have been reliably informed by all the best people that blacks cannot be racist. I live in NC and would be glad to have him replace our dictator Cooper who, unfortunately, has his eye on the Senate. Once the Reps are back in control, the very first thing they need to do is pass legislation limiting the "emergency" power of the governor. The Rep controlled legislature passed bills to that effect, but the dictator gov vetoed them all and the Reps didn't have enough votes to override.

There’s a glass ceiling for black governors. I’d say no. Would he make a dent in the black vote? Let’s find out. Senate seats are more important. Crack that Gov. ceiling to see if it’s doable. There will still be one and a half GOP senators in NC.

I hope Robinson runs and wins but whether or not that means black voters will not vote democratic like they always have is another matter.
