“Conservative Insider Reveals: Why Mark Robinson Perfectly Fits the ‘Moral Freak Show’ of the GOP!”

Republicans are distancing themselves from far-right North Carolina gubernatorial hopeful Mark Robinson after CNN reported last week that Robinson once posted racist and sexist comments to a pornography site’s message board, and referred to himself as a “Black Nazi.”

But the Donald Trump endorsed candidate “is a perfect addition to the Republican ensemble,” The Atlantic’s Peter Wehner suggested in a Sunday, September 29 column.

“The Gop is a moral freak show, and freak shows attract freaks. Which is why Mark Robinson fits in so well in today’s Republican Party,” Wehner writes.

Prior to CNN’s report, the GOP hopeful spewed prejudiced, anti-Black, anti-semitic rhetoric on multiple occasions, and called Martin Luther King Jr. a “commie bastard,” and a “worse than a maggot.”

Wehner notes that he also “referred to Michelle Obama as a man and Hillary Clinton as a ‘heifer.'”

The conservative writer added, “Much of this was known before he ran for governor. No matter. Republicans in North Carolina nominated him anyway, and Donald Trump has lavished praise on the man he calls his ‘friend,’ offering Robinson his ‘full and total endorsement’ and dubbing him ‘one of the hottest politicians’ in the country.”
