Robinson lashes out at Republican senator amid tensions over campaign

Source: The Hill

10/14/24 6:36 PM ET


North Carolina GOP gubernatorial nominee Mark Robinson recently lashed out at Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) at a campaign event, slamming the senior senator as “spineless” following tensions surrounding the continuation of his campaign.

Robinson, speaking Saturday, referred to a war being fought on “four fronts” — in Israel, in Ukraine, at the U.S.-Mexico border and “on our streets to save our children.” He suggested that with these issues ongoing, Tillis’s criticizing him is not helpful. “I don’t need some lily-livered, jelly-backed, spineless toad like Thom Tillis wanting to cross his legs,” Robinson said to applause and cheering from those in attendance.

“I called him ‘spineless,'” he continued. “And here’s why I called him spineless: cause he’s more concerned about standing up against Mark Robinson and other Republicans like me than he is to standing with us to fight these Democrats who are trying to destroy this nation.”

Robinson’s comments were recorded by an attendee and posted on YouTube. The Hill has reached out to Robinson’s campaign and Tillis’s office for comment.

Such a pathetic creep. He needs to get a pizza again and go back to his favorite porn palace and post nasty imaginings about screwing his SIL, like he's done before...and some of which got him in loser status, besides his big, anti-woman and black nazi mouth pro-slavery mouth.

having sex with his wife’s sister. The rest, I’m curious about cleanup, with all the golden showers. A vile POS

To hear that a real degenerate is dressing down a desperate sniveling self serving dolt while both of them are trying to claw their way into relevance.

I only wish I had made the recording myself.

Fuck both of these losers all the way back to their Mama’s aprons where they can cry their eyes out.

"lily-livered, jelly-backed, spineless toad like Thom Tillis"!
But I don't get THIS part of the put-down - "wanting to cross his legs"?
Anybody?

as women were always taught to "cross their legs" when sitting, whereas men could sit with their legs spread apart.

I don't know if current society is as rigid as they were in the past but this is what I expect he is insinuating.
