North Carolina Gov Candidate: MLK Was A Communist

The Huffington Post reports:

Martin Luther King Jr. was just an “ersatz pastor” and a “communist,” and the 1960s civil rights movement was “crap,” according to a series of Facebook posts by Mark Robinson, the leading Republican candidate to be North Carolina’s next governor.

Robinson, who is currently the state’s lieutenant governor, regularly criticized King and the civil rights movement for years on Facebook ― specifically on MLK Day ― HuffPost found amid a review of his posts.

The Black politician also downplayed slavery, rejected the idea that he’s part of the African American community, and attacked the late congressman and civil rights icon, John Lewis. In May of 2017, Robinson posted on Facebook that the 1960s civil rights movement was “crap” and a communist effort.

Read the full article. Robinson last appeared here when he was exposed for secretly meeting with QAnon “Stop The Steal” activist Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Robinson, a self-avowed Christian nationalist, first gained national infamy when he declared LGBTQ people to be “filth.” Last year he was exposed for having called facts about the Holocaust “a bunch of hogwash.”
