“These findings are politically motivated at the core,” Mike Lonergan, the communications director for Robinson’s campaign, said. “Last year, an independent auditor issued a report on Balanced Nutrition, Inc. (BNI) with no material findings. Yet as soon as Mark Robinson announced his campaign for governor in April 2023, the Democrat-run state agency started moving the goalposts. Just as they are doing against President Trump, Democrats are weaponizing the bureaucracy to grind a political ax against their opponents. Needless to say, BNI is aware of these findings, vehemently disagrees with them, and is looking forward to challenging them on appeal.”
It’s almost funny, but this taxpayer and public school teacher can not think of a single political accomplishment made by Mark Robinson that benefited this state.
But as the state’s top ranking GOP member, he has provided many examples how to baselessly attack political “opponents” with baseless assertions of political weaponizing.
That and telling women to “keep their skirts down.”
Despite the multitude of times that Robinson has verbally assaulted others on social media, almost every time he has been reported to have fallen below the standard of a public official he cries that he has been the victim of political weaponizing.
“It’s just like what we’re seeing at the federal level with the former president and with conservatives all over this country,” Robinson said. “This is a state agency being weaponized against somebody for political purposes.”
That last quote recently was given in response to his wife’s non-profit being caught having overcharged the government $132,000 – which is funny because…
You may remember when it was revealed that as a candidate running on a strict anti-abortion stance that he had once financed an abortion for his wife even revealing it on social media.
When that post came to more light, Robinson issued a video explanation explaining,
“We felt the need to speak with you directly because this issue transcends politics. Our hope is that by telling our story that it may change the lives of others.”
He does not share that unless he is trying to salvage his political ambitions. That’s being politically motivated.
Most of Robinson’s speaking engagements are targeted audiences in evangelical churches that are supposedly tax-exempt because of the agreement to not engage in politics or at conservative meetings where he is probably receiving ample compensation. It is hard not to argue that each of these engagements is a means for him to be the very thing that he accuses others of being – politically motivated.
If someone sets up a phantom “task force” to hunt down teachers because of unsubstantiated claims of indoctrination, that’s being politically motivated.
When you call public school teachers “wicked” in one breath…
“We’re going to work like heck in Raleigh to make sure these schools get straightened out, but until they do, I’m gonna tell you what you need to do: If they won’t do right, you need to come out from among them, make your own school,” Robinson said in a July speech. “Do not turn your children over to these wicked people. Do not.”
…but then call for increases in teacher pay in another…
…then that’s being politically motivated.
When you go to a Moms For Liberty conference in Philadelphia and say…
“And here’s the thing: Whether you’re talking about Adolf Hitler; whether you’re talking about Chairman Mao; whether you’re talking about Stalin; whether you’re talking about Pol Pot; whether you’re talking about Castro in Cuba; or whether you’re talking about a dozen other despots all around the globe; it is time for us to get back and start reading some of those quotes.”
…then that’s being politically motivated.
Mark Robinson’s entire platform has been built on flammable rhetoric drenched with gasoline and he claims that others are throwing lit matches at it constantly when in reality every time he opens his mouth and speaks he provides the very spark that sets it all ablaze.
