5:23Now PlayingNorth Carolina's Republican lieutenant governor who is now running for governor, Mark Robinson, said during a speech at the end of June that we used to "confront" evil on the battlefield and "kill them." He then said that "some folks need killing!" He is, allegedly, talking about "killing" some sort of "evil" force in the country, but his comments make it hard to think that he's NOT talking about those of us on the Left. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses these comments.

So last week we had Kevin Roberts, the leader of the Heritage Foundation, author of Project 2025, tell us that yes, we're in the middle of the second American Revolution here in the United States, and it will be totally bloodless if the left allows it to be, which means, of course, if the left tries to fight back against Project 2025, there's going to be bloodshed. We will be the ones of course, shedding the blood. Not to be outdone. Mark Robinson, the current Republican Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina, who is running for the actual governorship now, actually said recently during a rally that we just need to start killing people. I guess. Let me read you the exact comments again. This is coming from Mark Robinson, Republican Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina current gubernatorial candidate. Here's what he said At a recent event, we now find ourselves struggling with people who have evil intent.
You know, there's a time when we used to meet evil on the battlefield, and guess what we did to it? We killed it. Kill them. Some liberal somewhere is going to say, that sounds awful. Too bad. Get mad at me if you want to. Some folks need killing. It's time for somebody to say it. It's not a matter of being mean or spiteful. It's a matter of necessity. When you have wicked people doing wicked things, torturing and murdering and raping, we need to start handling our business again. Don't you feel it slipping away? The further we start sliding into making 1776 a distant memory and the tenets of socialism and communism start coming into clearer focus. They're watching us. They're listening to us, they're tracking us. They get mad at you. They cancel you. They dock you. They kick you off social media. They come in and close you down, down your businesses, folks, it's happening because we have forgotten who we are.
If you were walking down the street and you saw somebody out there maybe holding up a sign saying exactly what this man just did, you would call the police. The police would come and remove that individual from polite society where they would probably undergo a 72 involuntary psychiatric hold to determine whether or not they actually pose a threat to the general public. I am proposing right now that Mark Robinson, who says, some people need killing. I'm calling on the authorities of North Carolina, and if they won't take action, then the federal authorities at the FBII am calling on you right now to put this man in custody. This man is a threat. This man literally went out there and said, some people need killing, and then proceeded to say, communists, Marxists. You know those ideologies, and we can all read between those lines too, right? We, we know exactly who he's talking about. He doesn't know what communism means. He
Doesn't know, know what socialism means. 99% of people on the right can't define either of those terms, but they use them as blanket words to talk about anybody that is on the left. Those are the people that Robinson, of course, is implying need killing people like me, people like you, and in case you think I'm reading too much into it, although Robinson described his enemies in broad terms.
