NC-GOV: 'I Absolutely Want To Go Back To The America Where Women Couldn't Vote' [View all]
On Tuesday, Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson won the GOP primary to become his partys nominee for North Carolina governor, presumably with the help of female voters.
But just four years ago, Robinson invoked a bizarre hypothetical in which he said hed absolutely like to return to the days when the 19th Amendment didnt exist ― when women didnt have the right to vote.
I absolutely want to go back to the America where women couldnt vote, Robinson said in a newly resurfaced video of his remarks at a March 2020 event hosted by the Republican Women of Pitt County.
During this event, Robinson, who was running for lieutenant governor at the time, recalled someone recently asking conservative activist Candace Owens to pick which version of America would make America great again, one where Black people were swinging from cheap trees or one where women werent allowed to vote.
Robinson said he would definitely return to the days in America when women were denied the right to vote because in those days we had people who fought for real social change, and they were called Republicans.
