New contender for worst governor

@Wajoma
One thing we can agree on, I would like to see exactly what he said, all I see here are third party references, he said something we didn't like, but exactly what was that? Don't get me wrong, I am not a closet fan of the dude, just curious as to what he said and the context.

'pride in ones own race' sounds a bit like 'black lives matter'. Is that it?

Is that all you've got vivify?

Exercise:

Google "Proud to be black" then google "Proud to be white".

Interesting the way you will be steered.

Anyway, back to Black Hitler, Mark Robinson. How we doing vivify?

No, it doesn't.

The irony of an anarcho-capitalist being opposed to a group who's main purpose is to reduce the number of civilians killed by those cloaked with authority by the State is pretty rich.

Hitler-quoting candidate wins North Carolina Republican gubernatorial primary

Mark Robinson, North Carolina’s lieutenant governor who has a history of making inflammatory comments and has said he would abolish abortion rights, has won the state’s Republican nomination for governor. ...[text shortened]... ts” and “flies”.

In 2014, he quoted Hitler on Facebook in a statement about racial pride.

There's a thing called 'Godwins Law':

"Short for Godwin's law (or rule) of Nazi analogies, is an Internet adage asserting: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1 "

Haha, vivfy decided to save us all the hassle, cut out all the chit chat and go straight to Mark Robinson is like Hitler. Godwins Law is already old and outdated why bother with all the too'ing and fro'ing, first post 'BAM' Hitler.
