NC Gov Candidate Met Secretly With QAnon Ginni

The Daily Beast reports:

Publicly, the Trump-loving lieutenant governor of North Carolina, Mark Robinson, has embraced the role of a zealous 2020 election denier. In April 2021, for instance, Robinson told a crowd that President Joe Biden “stole the election.” Days before making that declaration, however, Robinson was privately meeting with one of the highest-profile election deniers in the country: Ginni Thomas, the conservative activist and wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

According to a copy of Robinson’s official schedule, which was produced through a Freedom of Information Act request, the lieutenant governor had a meeting with Thomas on March 30, 2021. But Robinson didn’t just speak with Thomas that afternoon; the calendar note indicates he met with Thomas and a group she helped run called Frontliners for Liberty. Thomas’ group was influential enough for it to draw the scrutiny of the House Select Committee to Investigate Jan. 6.

EXCLUSIVE: Mark Robinson, the leading GOP candidate for governor of North Carolina, is very public on his thinking about overturning the 2020 election. But his private meetings are telling, too.https://t.co/e96Fe3nbAN
