North Carolina’s Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson has won the state’s Republican gubernatorial primary. MSNBC described him as a “Holocaust-denying, gay-bashing, extreme anti-abortion radical.” The Human Rights Campaign said Robinson was one of the most radical anti-LGBTQ+ MAGA politicians on the ballot for making comments like this one from 2021.

Mark Robinson: “The transgender movement in this country, if there’s a movement in this country that is demonic and that is full of anti- — the spirit of Antichrist, it is the transgender movement. And these same people gonna tell me, 'You need to believe in global warming.' And then they tell me, 'Follow the science. Follow the science.' You don’t even know what gender you are!”

Last week, Donald Trump praised Mark Robinson, who is Black, saying, “I think you are Martin Luther King times two.” In November, Robinson will face off against Josh Stein, who won the Democratic primary in North Carolina.

In another closely watched race, Colin Allred won the Democratic Senate primary in Texas, defeating state Senator Roland Gutierrez and others. Allred will face Republican Ted Cruz in November.
