Mark Robinson is the Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina and is currently running for governor. Robinson is a true conservative Republican, who rose to fame several years ago when he passionately defended the rights of law-abiding gun owners at a City Council meeting.
In his recent comments, Robinson made it clear that he wants to stand up for women and girls when it comes to bathrooms. He doesn't want men in the bathroom with your wife, mother, or daughter.
That's why Reno Republicans in North Carolina are going after him.

North Carolina Republicans attack Republican lieutenant governor for defending women's bathrooms
Because of his pledge to defend women in North Carolina from men who sneak into women's spaces, something supported by a majority of voters, North Carolina Governor Mark Robinson has been criticized by two Republican gubernatorial candidates in his state. Robinson is also campaigning for governor.
Robinson told attendees at a campaign event in early February that he was committed to keeping men out of women's sports and bathrooms…
The 55-year-old Republican said his commitment to “defending the women of this state” extends to protecting their bathrooms from anyone of the opposite sex trying to use them.
“That means if you're a man on a Friday night, and all of a sudden on Saturday, you feel like a woman and you want to go to the women's bathroom at the mall, you're going to get arrested — or whatever we have to do to you,” Robinson said. His pledge was met with a round of cheers.. .
With the help of NBC News, which was happy to amplify complaints against the lieutenant governor, North Carolina gubernatorial candidates, State Treasurer Dale Folwell and attorney Bill Graham, accused Robinson of hindering the Republican Party's chances. Robinson leads in the primary, according to exit polls in the race.
“Mark Robinson is the latest example in history of someone who rises to power through hate,” Folwell told NBC. “If he really cared about the CNC or the Republican Party, he would resign now.”
Robinson is currently ahead of other Republicans.
