Mark Robinson, the former NC lieutenant governor who has stayed relatively quiet since his failed gubernatorial campaign in 2024, is back and ready to "tell the truth." In a new podcast episode titled "Mark Robinson Finally Admits It," Robinson admitted Thursday to an "obsession" with pornography and sex, and he acknowledged that he lied back in 2024 when a CNN report uncovered lewd and racist remarks he had previously made on a porn forum. He did so then, he said, in order to protect Trump's campaign. Even in his honesty, Robinson remained defensive, and he seemed to believe that he did something righteous by lying. Even though he wanted to own up to it, he said, other people would be affected, so it would be "selfish" to be truthful.

Let me explain something to the morons out there. President Piggy is going to have the Singular achievement of losing a war without having controlled the country. Let me explain. We lost Viet Nam, We lost Afghanistan, We lost Iraq. But in all of those wars we controlled all or a substantial part of the country for an extended period of time.

I'm so tired of this s"t. I'm tired of having to learn about any of these awful people. I'm tired of them starting wars, shooting innocent people, and frittering away billions of tax dollars that you and I pay to have a functional government. I'm tired of them wearing ugly shoes, paying each other empty compliments, and pretending like they're anything but mediocrities. And I'm REALLY tired of them ruining things that you and I might otherwise enjoy. That includes the Olympics, but it also includes things like medicine, education, transportation, surfing around on the internet, and not dying in a nuclear holocaust.
