GOP Gov. Candidate Quoted Hitler In Resurfaced Facebook Post—And There's More Where That Came From

After North Carolina's GOP Lt. Governor Mark Robinson tried to move on from his antisemitic social media posts, another resurfaced in which he actually quoted Adolph Hitler.

Current North Carolina Republican Lt. Governor and GOP gubernatorial frontrunner Mark Robinson is facing backlash again over antisemitic social media posts and statements.

Back in July of this year, Robinson took heat after he told a Moms for Liberty (MFL) convention in Philadelphia that dictators like Hitler are taken out of context and their work has merit that Americans need to study more.


Two weeks ago while serving as acting North Carolina Governor while Gov. Roy Cooper was in Japan, Robinson faced questions from the press about his history of praising dictators including Hitler and the bigotry in his social media posts.

You can see the exchange—with a fact check from the Democratic Governors Association—here:


Robinson declared:

"We’ve dealt with the Facebook posts and moved past them."

But then more previously unreported Facebook posts from 2014-2019 were found where Robinson:

  • shared a quotation attributed to Adolf Hitler
  • insinuated Democratic leaders and activists—including Holocaust survivor George Soros—pose a greater threat than Hitler
  • compared the toppling of a Confederate statue to Kristallnacht
  • minimized the legacy of the Holocaust to rant about Marxism
You can see his Facebook posts—which remain public—here.

People weren't buying Robinson's claim of not being antisemitic given his well-documented history.







Some of Robinson's previously disclosed posts—in the slideshow below—also went after the Black and LGBTQ+ community.

Robinson had refused to issue an apology for years.

He claimed he could not and would not be held responsible for posts he made as a private citizen.

But earlier this month Robinson stated:

"I apologize for the wording, not necessarily for the content, but we apologize for the wording."
"And we have full confidence that the people of North Carolina understand that Mark Robinson is definitely not antisemitic."

In July Robinson spoke at Moms for Liberty’s “Blessings of the Liberty Breakfast.”

The North Carolina Republican addressed MFL quoting Hitler in their June newsletter, saying:

"Here’s the thing. Whether you’re talking about Adolf Hitler, whether you’re talking about Chairman Mao, whether you’re talking about Stalin, whether you’re talking about Pol Pot, whether you’re talking about Castro in Cuba, or whether you’re talking about a dozen other despots all around the globe, it is time for us to get back and start reading some of those quotes.”

Robinson stated it’s time for Americans to “start reading” the works of so-called strongmen—homicidal dictators—like Adolf Hitler, Mao Zedong, Josef Stalin, Pol Pot and Fidel Castro who he claimed were unfairly taken out of context.

Robinson and his supporters made the same claim about his MFL remarks.

The Republican gubernatorial candidate acknowledged the history of the men wasn’t all positive and American children should be learning the good and bad parts of Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and Castro.

The MFL prayer breakfast had at least one Rabbi and other clergy in attendance while Robinson praised known antisemite Stalin and Nazi leader Hitler.

The Southern Poverty Law Center designated Moms for Liberty a far-right, anti-government, anti-LGBTQ+, Christian Nationalist extremist group.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
