The MAGA Scramble to Defend Mark Robinson

The MAGA Scramble to Defend Mark Robinson
Those still on the North Carolina gubernatorial nominee’s side are pulling from a grab bag of weak tactics.

S E E D E D   C O N T E N T


Mark Robinson is pointing a finger at artificial intelligence amid the recent  revelations  about disturbing comments he allegedly made on a porn site. Robinson, the lieutenant governor of North Carolina who is now the GOP’s gubernatorial nominee, suggested that the comments in which he apparently called himself a “black NAZI,” yearned for the restoration of slavery, and enjoyed reading  Mein Kampf  could have been artificially generated.

“Look, I’m not going to get into the minutiae about how somebody manufactured these salacious tabloid lies,”   Robinson told CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski , who broke the   original story . “But I can tell you this: There’s been over $1 million spent on me through AI by a billionaire’s son who’s bound and determined to destroy me. The things that people can do with the internet now is incredible,” Robinson insisted. “But what I can tell you is this: Again, these are not my words.”

Robinson’s claims of fakery—AI or otherwise—are extremely unlikely. As   The Washington Post ’s   Philip Bump notes , the CNN report linking Robinson to the porn site known as “Nude Africa” was “robust,” exposing “a digital trail that would be all but impossible to create artificially.” And not everyone in the GOP is buying Robinson’s excuse. Much of his senior staff has resigned, and the Trump campaign is reportedly   distancing   itself from Robinson, although Donald Trump’s endorsement of Robinson still stands.

But the existence of AI aids Robinson in his shoddy defense: Not only can the technology make fake stories believable, but its existence helps those who want to make true stories seem unbelievable. In this election, invoking AI is yet another tool for some Americans to alter facts so that they align with their desired reality. Trump, for example, falsely accused Kamala Harris of using AI to generate an image showing a large crowd at a rally. (Meanwhile, he himself has spread illusions online: He recently reposted a doctored photo of  Harris with the accused sex offender Sean “Diddy” Combs —whose face is actually superimposed on the body of Montel Williams; Trump also  shared  a fake endorsement from Taylor Swift last month.) To be sure, many fake images of politicians—including Donald Trump— proliferate  online, some of which use AI, but because this technology sows doubt about reality, it can also provide a convenient dodge for politicians confronted by uncomfortable facts.

Insinuating that AI played a role is just one of the tactics that Robinson and his defenders are using. Others have argued that the allegations are a targeted political attack without identifying exactly how such supposed lies were created. The GOP’s candidate for North Carolina attorney general, Dan Bishop, called the CNN report “a meticulously timed and coordinated character assassination.” The North Carolina Republican Party  released  a statement hours after the report was published, citing Robinson’s denial and accused “the Left” of “trying to demonize him via personal attacks.”

Others are using vague language to avoid taking a stand. Consider, for example, this tangled double negative from J. D. Vance when he was asked about Robinson’s denial: “I don’t not believe him; I don’t believe him—I just think you have to let these things play out sometimes in the court of public opinion.” Lindsey Graham also toed a careful line, although with clearer language. “The charges are beyond unnerving. If they’re true, he’s unfit to serve for office,” Graham said. But he seemed to leave the door open to the possibility that the story was false. “If they’re not true,” Graham said, “he has the best lawsuit in the history of the country, for libel.”

Then there are those who simply don’t care about the allegations. At a Trump rally in North Carolina over the weekend,   The New York Times   found   that while few in attendance believed the story—many blamed the untrustworthiness of the media, according to the   Times —some would support Robinson   even if   the reports of his racist, anti-Semitic, transphobic, and obscene posts were real. “Bryan Faulcon, 39, of Wilmington, said he didn’t believe the allegations,” the   Times   reported, “but even if they were true, Mr. Robinson still had his vote. The calculation was simple, Mr. Faulcon said: policy over character.”

Indeed, if these allegations mattered to voters, they would not have nominated Robinson in the first place, would they? This is, after all, someone who   called   the Holocaust “a bunch of hogwash,”   referred   to transgenderism and homosexuality as “filth,” and   suggested   this summer that “some folks need killing.” North Carolina’s GOP voters had ample evidence of who he was, and they chose him anyway. While some of the MAGA faithful have grabbed onto convenient manipulations of the evidence in front of them, these voters’ approach seems to be acceptance.

I disliked Mark Robinson for the hateful, rude, and crude things he says about people unlike himself, I disliked his hubris in doing so too, it was when he stated the above quote that he totally lost me - stated it in a church (I think it is):

Mark Robinson - "Some people need killing"

"Big-ums" needs reminding that once upon a time, some whites similar to those people sitting behind him, thought that blacks collectively, needed killing. For this type of manipulation by deliberate ignorance: LT Gov Mark Robinson is truly low. The man potentially alienated a high percentage of the state with that comment.

He is a horrible man. A man who has 'forgotten' the stuff he is made of. He has plans to pass judgement on other people's children (of which we all are). And though in some quarters of the narrative some people can be found whom depending on the circumstances. . . might "need killing". . . that is for a court of law to opine and dictate. . . not a politician and candidate to blanketly declare on 'stops' for the sake of votes! Moreover, for Mark Robinson to be in a house of worship where humility, forgiven, and mercy are the order of the day -"thundering" hateful and mean-spirited rhetoric he needs an attitude 'adjustment'!

Mark Robinson, in my opinion, is an over-confident, self-righteous, 'windbag.'  God has not instructed Mark Robinson to stand before the Church, any church, and pass judgement on anyone! This is Mark's taking liberty with "the Word" to state error as 'wisdom.'

like Jim Jones

"Having moved his flock to northern California in the 1960s, Jones began leveraging their labor toward political ends, volunteering them for protests or electioneering on behalf of friendly aspirants to public office. Gaining the respect of San Francisco’s political class, Jones became a player in his own right. Many gave him credit for Moscone’s tight victory in the 1975 mayoral runoff, and he was appointed head of the San Francisco Housing Authority. Praised as a hero of social justice and a crusader for racial equality, Jones became an important figure in Democratic politics....Milk wasn’t Jones’s only fan. Many powerful people—Governor Jerry Brown, columnist Herb Caen, and Vice President Walter Mondale, to name a few—sought Jones’s blessings and expressed admiration for his dedication to racial equality and a better world.

Jim Jones didn't believe the word of God or the bible - he just watched and learned and practiced how these charlatans fleeced their flocks and did the same.  He was in it for the adulation and power and he took the good and decent people's words who spoke to his flock and twisted and perverted them.  

I don't know why some keep having to act like he was a good and decent man and a Democrat when he was a fucking cult leader fucking scum bag charlatan fucking scumbag much like the former 'president' convicted felon rapist traitor.

Some folks are so desperate for attention.   Most likely impotent as well.

At this point I don't think there's any doubt that he'll lose the election.

Although some Republicans are still sticking by him:

Former   President Trump   dodged on whether he would retract his endorsement of North Carolina GOP gubernatorial nominee   Mark Robinson   following the explosive report about Robinson’s inflammatory online comments. 

“I don’t know the situation,” Trump said in response to a question from a reporter following a   press conference   he gave Thursday in New York City. (Link)

Some folks will still vote for him.  I had property in Henderson NC once upon a time. This is the "we're all sinners" defense.

“I do not know what’s true and what’s not true,” said Dwight Frazier, a church member at Central Baptist Church in Henderson who attended the luncheon. “Everybody has something that’s wrong in their past and does some things they wouldn’t be proud of. I think he loves the Lord and I think he’s trying to do the right thing. He’s still a good man, in my opinion.” Mark Robinson may no longer be the headliner. But NC evangelicals still back him.

I had property in Henderson NC once upon a time. This is the "we're all sinners" defense.

Well, there's a lot of sinners thereabouts.  You wouldn't want him to leave before he finished his work, would you?

That's why polite old ladies in NC ( not exclusive to NC )

say "Well bless your heart" when they really mean

"Die you satanic witch moronic old sow".

I think he loves the Lord

Well, he may or may not love the "Lord", IDK. However whether or not any candidate for office loves the Lord or not-- that's not one of the things I take into consideration when deciding who to vote for.

(And I'm not the only one).

Robinson has a long record of disturbing comments, even before this latest instance. It all adds up to people who support him should be ashamed of themselves.

But. . .they can't be ashamed of him as they agree with him about his perspective. Such people want to do the 'work' that God has not done or called them to do: Kill somebody! They really, really, really, feel this way (in their hearts) rather or not it ever makes it out of through their fingers. A the least, they commiserate with any individual or group who discusses "handling its business" with "some people needing killing!"

The problem is Mark "Big-ums" Robinson has baggage. . . and he might have to be judged too! And so each and every one of them gets a moment of reflection to check their own backstory out and decide about the man or woman looking back at them in the mirror.

Best to just get rid of Big-ums, he can not be the face of North Carolina's 'movement' to reclassify, demote, or get rid of "Others" in the state!

This "latest instance" happened when?

And

How has he gotten away with it for so long?

Perverts like this freakshow Robinson and the former 'president' rapist don't give up their dirty deeds.  I think the former 'president' rapist scumbag is now impotent though, probably can only bop his pathetic little mushroom.  Robinson likes to bop his baloney everywhere.

Why are all these freakshow pervs and weirdos all on the 'right'?  They can't seem to keep in their pants anywhere.

So 69 plus comments and not one critique of the things GOP LT Gov Mark Robinson has said in his past from the trumpists on this site that can find silly and petty details about name pronounciation and how a woman laughs (as if it matters) in a nation concerned about immigration and economics and more. It informs us that trumpists are only here to denigrate liberals and not for a love of right and wrong (at least as they perceive it). Trumpists are selective of the truth!
