Mark Robinson@markrobinsonNC · Sep 24, 2024While @JoshStein_ & his friends are focused on salacious lies, Republicans are dialed in on the issues that matter to you. We’re going to end the lawlessness and violent crime that is crippling our state! Republicans are united and ready to win!

On September 25, 8:43am, @markrobinsonnc was blaming the media for reporting about his Porn Website posts and claiming it had nothing to do with his character, but was just his personality.
Mark Robinson@markrobinsonNC · Sep 25, 2024The political class and mainstream media want to make this race about personality. Why? Because if we focus on policy they don’t have a leg to stand on. Do not be fooled. Kamala Harris, Roy Cooper and Josh Stein are all cut from the same cloth. Their policies have crippled our economy, divided our communities and left our children in danger. We can do better. We must do better.

On September 25, 12:29pm, @markrobinsonnc was sitting at his computer doing something, and claiming he was begging Republicans not to abandon him over his porn addiction.
Mark Robinson@markrobinsonNC · Sep 25, 2024This morning I spoke with Republican leaders across the state and made it clear: This is an election about policies, not personalities. Now is not the time for intra-party squabbling and nonsense. We have 41 days to make our case - we can’t do it without all hands on deck. From President Trump to our local community officials, we must vote Republican.

On September 25, 6:46pm, @markrobinsonnc was claiming Democrats and the media were enemies of American because they reported his porn addiction.
Mark Robinson@markrobinsonNC · Sep 25, 2024A surefire way to destroy this country is to start attacking each other rather than enemies at hand. As Republicans, we should have one mission, and that is VICTORY in November. We have great candidates across the state up and down the ballot, do not let anyone tell you otherwise. Save America, Protect North Carolina, and VOTE REPUBLICAN!

On September 26, 8:53am, @markrobinsonnc was bragging about his legal team fighting the exposure of his porn addiction.
Mark Robinson@markrobinsonNC · Sep 26, 2024Jesse Binnall and his team have launched a full-scale investigation into the allegations leveled against me by CNN. I have offered them complete cooperation and full transparency as they do so. I fully expect the facts are going to come to light quickly, and I intend to utilize every available means to hold CNN accountable for what they have done. The media is working hand-in-hand with Josh Stein to distract the public from the real issues facing the great people of North Carolina. Anything other than a vote for the FULL REPUBLICAN TICKET is a vote for Josh Stein and his record of bloodshed, lawlessness and failure. The choice is obvious, folks.

On September 26, 10:54am, @markrobinsonnc was bragging that he'd hired someone to replace half his staff who quit because his porn addiction was exposed.
Mark Robinson@markrobinsonNC · Sep 26, 2024I am proud to announce Krishana Polite as the first ever Black Female Chief of Staff in the history of North Carolina’s Lt. Governor’s Office. What a historic moment! Kirshana has been a major asset to our great state for many years. We are blessed to have her leading our administration. Thank you, Krishana.

On September 26, 3:14pm, @markrobinsonnc was bragging that a not a real-union had endorsed him.
Mark Robinson@markrobinsonNC · Sep 26, 2024Our campaign continues to gain momentum like never before. @JoshStein_’s far-left energy policies have been a disaster for North Carolina residents – even bringing us California-style rolling blackouts for the first time ever. Like Kamala Harris, Josh is an unapologetic supporter of the Green New Deal. If he is elected, the cost of energy in North Carolina will be unaffordable for virtually everyone. As governor, I will fight to lower energy costs and create more jobs for our families. Thank you, @ogwausa for joining our campaign and fighting alongside us.

Loss is never easy, but as a community, we will rally and come back stronger than ever. As always, my team and I are here to help.

Mark Robinson@markrobinsonNC · Sep 28, 2024I want to thank Stuart Watlington and the Caswell County Chamber of Commerce for hosting us at this year’s Hoedown Festival. Caswell County residents reject far-left ideology and they’re ready to fight to make our schools stronger, our streets safer and our economy more robust than ever before. Republicans are united and ready to win!

On September 28, 7:49pm, @markrobinsonnc was proclaiming that "Public Safety isn't political" while not signing the Emergency Declaration.
Mark Robinson@markrobinsonNC · Sep 28, 2024Listen, I know I raise my voice and I know some of y’all don’t like it, but this is why I do it. It is literally an issue of life and death. Just hear me out. Josh Stein is not a Democrat. Do not let him and his friends fool you. He is a far-left radical. His views are not the views of the people who call North Carolina home. Public safety should not be political, because for so many people, it’s personal.

On September 29, 10:05am, @markrobinsonnc was at the Hickory Motorspeed Way screaming at people from behind a fence, while not signing the Emergency Declaration.
Mark Robinson@markrobinsonNC · Sep 29, 2024To the fans of Hickory Motor Speedway, thank you! We hear you, we feel your energy. We are fighting for you.

On September 29, 10:33am, @markrobinsonnc was proclaiming that North Carolinians needed help...while, you guessed it, NOT signing the Emergency Declaration.
Mark Robinson@markrobinsonNC · Sep 29, 2024The people of western North Carolina are in desperate need of supplies. My office is currently working in coordination with the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office to take critical supplies from the east and bring them west to those in need. But we need your help: You can donate supplies like food and water to the FCSO at this address: 285 T Kemp Rd Louisburg, NC 27549 I’m here in Marion and the people are asking for help. We are doing everything in our power to get them exactly what they need. Please continue praying for Western North Carolina.

On September 29, 2:19pm, @markrobinsonnc was blaming Governor Roy Cooper for not doing enough, while Mark STILL had not signed the Emergency Declaration.
Mark Robinson@markrobinsonNC · Sep 29, 2024The situation in Western North Carolina is far worse than I could have ever imagined. My office is working to mobilize assets and assistance immediately. I am urging Governor Cooper to deploy as many National Guardsmen as possible. The need for human and mechanical resources cannot be understated. Pray for our state. Please pray.
