Conservative North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson won the Republican primary for governor on Tuesday, and the liberal media is already starting to hound him.
If there's one type of person the liberal media hates, it's conservative blacks. Robinson will be subjected to constant media attacks from now until November.
In this case, a Huffington Post writer selectively edited a quote from Robinson during a recent interview.
Red State reports:
Media merchants are coming for Mark Robinson, and are being derailed by the facts – and their video
As previously reported, Democrats and media professionals began to panic immediately Tuesday night into Wednesday in the wake of Gov. Mark Robinson's decisive victory in North Carolina's gubernatorial primary race, with the usual accusations of sexism, homophobia, anti-Semitism, and extremism being cast aside. From him with wild abandonment.
In what should be considered the “evening update” of that post, the media smear merchants are at it again, with the Huffington Post taking the lead this time in publishing the latest quotes out of context and spinning them so they mean something. It didn't happen.
Jennifer Bendery, a senior political reporter at HuffPo, wrote an article declaring that Robinson, in 2020 comments that were conveniently “unearthed,” even 24 hours after he was declared the winner, briefly said he preferred to live in the United States. A day when “women could not vote.”
This is what the writer posted on Twitter:

A newly discovered video of 2020 NC gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson: “I definitely want to go back to an America where women can't vote.” https://t.co/dAlCe2DhPL

Here's what the HuffPo report says:
During the event, Robinson, who was running for lieutenant governor at the time, recalled someone recently asking conservative activist Candace Owens to choose the version of America that would make America “great again,” one where “black people were swinging from cheap trees” or one where “Blacks were swinging from cheap trees” or where women were not allowed to vote.
Robinson said he would definitely go back to the days when women in America were denied the right to vote “because in those days we had people who fought for real social change, and they were called Republicans.”
RedState provides the full quote:
While this last quote has part of the story, it does not give all of it. In the sentence immediately following, he said, “And they were called Republicans,” Robinson said, “and they are the reason why women can vote today.”
Here is the video:
People on the right are coming to Robinson's defense.
In the video, Robinson keeps saying he's a Republican *because* of the 19th Amendment.
He was clearly trying to give the Republican Party credit for giving women the right to vote, and he wasn't saying the world would be better off without it. https://t.co/qk8kePbe5i pic.twitter.com/HMAeymrAwH

There will be a lot of this in the coming months. A candidate like Robinson terrifies the media.
