The Republican candidate for North Carolina governor fired back Friday after being called a “MAGA extremist” by the Biden-Harris campaign after he told an audience at a North Carolina church last weekend that “some people need to be killed.”
“As the latest example of the kind of people Donald Trump associates with,” the Democratic campaign said in a statement, “who Donald Trump has endorsed and campaigned with,Martin Luther King on steroidsopenly supports political violence in newly released video.”
“This is just the latest example of Donald Trump’s MAGA extremists taking their cues from Trump himself,” the statement concluded.
Robinson campaign spokesman Mike Lonergan responded to a request for comment. The Lt. Governor’s remarks at Lake Church in White Lake, North Carolina They were “picky.”
“He is talking about the Nazis and the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy, the enemies of the United States and the Allied Powers during World War II,” Lonergan said in a statement to The Washington Post, which then quoted him in full.
“We’re fighting evil people right now. You know there was a time when we faced evil on the battlefield,” Robinson said. “And guess what we did? We killed it. We didn’t argue about it, we didn’t argue about it, we didn’t fight about it, we killed it!”
“When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, we flew to Japan and killed the Japanese Army and Navy.
“We didn’t even argue about it. It was like, ‘I didn’t start this fight, you did! If you wanted to be left alone, you should have left me alone.’
“We didn’t argue, we didn’t cave in, we didn’t say, ‘Well, maybe we shouldn’t fight the Nazis so hard. No, they’re bad people, kill them.'”
“Some liberal somewhere will say that’s awful,” Robinson concluded. “It’s a shame. If you want to be angry, be angry. Some people have to be killed.”
Robinson faces Democratic state Attorney General Josh Stein in a race that polls predict will be close, with Stein leading by just 0.2 percentage points. According to RealClearPolitics:.
The Republican came under fire earlier this year when he said he “absolutely wants to go back to an America where women couldn’t vote.”
“Do you want to know why?” Robinson asked a gathering of Republican women. “Because there were people back then who fought for real social change. They were called Republicans. And because of them, women can vote today.”
“That’s the America we want to get back,” he said. “We want to get back an America ruled by Republican Party, by principle and by the true ideals of freedom.”
