'Too weird even for Trump': Conservative buries GOP for not exiling 'perv' Mark Robinson

0

The North Carolina Republican Party incurred the wrath of conservative columnist Kathleen Parker on Sunday morning for surprisingly continuing to back embattled gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson despite an avalanche of revelations that make him unelectable.

In a scorching column for the Washington Post, Parker referred Robinson's recently uncovered online history where he called himself both a "Black Nazi" and a "perv" on an adult website and wondered what it would take for Republicans to exile him from the party.

Writing that the party has some explaining to do after issuing a statement in support of Robinson, Parker explained, "With so much evidence exposing Robinson as too weird even for Trump, why would North Carolina Republicans pretend everything’s copacetic? Either they’re too proud or too weird themselves, which brings us closer to answering how Robinson got where he is."

Parker went on to add that higher-ups in the GOP are balking at turning on Robinson because he is a Black conservative which is a rarity in the party, to which she added, "Republicans get very excited about their Black candidates, in part because there are so few and because they stand athwart Black history and shout, no! When someone like Robinson rolls into town, Republican operatives can’t believe their good fortune. A Black Trump is more like it."

She then added, "As our politics have become less civil, and rhetoric has devolved to the level of gutter talk, people gradually have become inured to all but the most heinous expressions of hatred, salaciousness and disruption. Robinson’s porn-site commentary may have seized everyone’s attention, but North Carolina didn’t need titillation to find Robinson unfit for office. My hunch is that the state’s Republicans didn’t call Robinson out sooner for his verbal effluvia because, frankly, they knew their base was lapping it up."
