Robinson Once Called For Police To Shoot Al Sharpton

The Bulwark reports:

Back in his pre-political days, Mark Robinson wasn’t spending all his online time trawling the forums of porn sites. He spent some time reading and commenting on small political sites too—where the opinions he shared, The Bulwark has learned, were no less unhinged.

“If the cops wanted to shoot an elderly black man they should have shot Al Sharpton,” Robinson commented in April 2009 on a NewsOne article about Sharpton participating in a police-brutality protest. “Closing his mouth would do this Nation good.”

“Obama IS a blackface step-in fectch-it [sic] for liberal white America,” Robinson wrote on the same site the same month. “It’s Oprah the wicked witch, leading the way to sexing up the children!” he wrote beneath another article a few days later.

NewsOne pitches itself as “news for Black America.”

“‘This is a long line in despicable, self-hating, antisemitic rhetoric from a man who enjoys the support of Donald Trump,’ Sharpton said.” Why Al Sharpton? Because Mark Robinson said he should be shot. https://t.co/JefIPAo5Lz
