In a newly unearthed video, North Carolina’s GOP nominee for governor says America was better then because Republicans "fought for real social change."
Fuck I hate having to defend these assholes but if we’re going to call them out on their bullshit it needs to be accurate. The quote is slightly taken out of context because he was inexplicably trying to dodge a question that wasn’t presented to him.
He is IMO trying to say I want to go back to the period of time when women couldn’t vote because back then people actually fought for those rights. That’s a dumbass circular argument but I don’t think he is actually saying he thinks women shouldn’t vote.
Hang the things they actually mean to say around their neck, not stupid slips of the tongue.
All that said - fuck this guy and fuck Huffington post for their shitty articles.

Take a look at the rest of the stuff he’s been known for saying. From the article:
“The only thing worse than a woman who doesn’t know her place, is a man who doesn’t know his,” he wrote on Facebook in December 2017.
He also wrote, “I am REALLY sick of feminism and feminist. They are just as bad, if not worse, than racist.”
There’s plenty more to revisit with Robinson’s attacks on women, including calling them “whores,” “witches” and “rejected drag queens.”
There’s also his record of quoting Adolf Hitler, fanning Islamophobia, saying trans people should be arrested for using bathrooms, casting doubts on the Holocaust and spreading countless dangerous conspiracy theories.
Sure, he was trying to dodge a “gotcha” question, but his answer falls right in line with what he’s been saying for years anyway. His statement is completely in line with his other stated beliefs.

Perhaps I need to get my eyes checked, but… Isn’t he black? I shudder to think what a black man “knowing his place” in NC meant just a handful of years ago.
This is only the beginning with this guy. I’m not going to list any of it, but he said some absolutely awful things about many women, including Michelle Obama, Hilary Clinton, Oprah, Taylor Swift, AOC, Pelosi, and at least 15 other public figures. 😳
And when you take it in context you now have to wonder why he’s not a democrat or independent if fighting for social improvement is so important to him

Ok so in the larger picture this is probably exactly what he wants, but I still stand by my statement for this particular case.
Exactly. When these people tell you who they really are, believe them. They’re not lying, they’re not joking, they’re not confused.
