FALSE PROPHET

Mark Robinson

Lt. Governor,
North Carolina

North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson is the 2024 Republican nominee for governor of the state. A self-described MAGA Republican, one reporter labeled him “MAGA’s Great Black Hope,” citing his track record of antisemitic, homophobic, and extremist rhetoric that has won him staunch right-wing supporters.

He also has a track record of verbally attacking women, especially Black women, engaged in Holocaust denialism, and dismissed the Civil Rights Movement as a “communist plot to subvert capitalism.” Yet fellow False Prophet ex-President Donald Trump calls him “Martin Luther King on steroids,” praising Robinson as “better than Martin Luther King.” 

In a 2023 speech at a North Carolina church before launching his gubernatorial campaign, Robinson claimed “God formed” him to fight LGBTQ rights, arguing LGBTQ people are turning America into a “hellhole.” In the same speech, he called transgender people fighting for their right to exist and survive “demonic” and “full of the spirit of antichrist.”

Robinson has long been a prolific Facebook poster, often posting anti-Muslim, anti-LGBTQ, and antisemitic rants, COVID disinformation, and viciously attacking Democrats. When asked about his posts in a 2020 interview, he refused to apologize for his posts, saying: “I’m not ashamed of anything I post.”
