Quotes

[edit]
  • We now find ourselves struggling with people who have evil intent. You know, there's a time when we used to meet evil on the battlefield, and guess what we did to it? We killed it! ... When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, what did we do? We flew to Japan! And we killed the Japanese Army and Navy! ... We didn't argue and capitulate and talk about, well, maybe we shouldn't fight the Nazis that hard. No, they're bad. Kill them. Some liberal somewhere is going to say that sounds awful. Too bad. Get mad at me if you want to.
    Some folks need killing! It's time for somebody to say it. It's not a matter of vengeance. It's not a matter of being mean or spiteful. It's a matter of necessity! When you have wicked people doing wicked things, torturing and murdering and raping. It's time to call out, uh, those guys in green and go have them handled. Or those boys in blue and have them go handle it. ...
  • Half of black Democrats don't realize they are slaves and don't know who their masters are. The other half don't care.
  • We have pushed homosexuality over the top. Mark my words PEDOPHILLA (sic) is next, which will be closely followed by the END of civilization as we know it.
  • There's no reason anybody anywhere in America should be telling any child about transgenderism, homosexuality, any of that filth.
  • I don't care how much you cut yourself up, drug yourself up and dress yourself up, you still either one of two things — you either a man or a woman.

  • Some folks need killing! It's time for somebody to say it. ... It’s not a matter of being mean or spiteful. It’s a matter of necessity!

Quotes about Mark Robinson

[edit]
  • I am not surprised by Mark Robinson’s alleged inflammatory and offensive comments about my father. His praise for slavery, disparaging rhetoric, and grotesque characterization of my dad and his legacy are deeply worrisome for North Carolinians and all Americans who oppose racism and bigotry. We must work to ensure Mark Robinson gets nowhere near the governor’s office.
  • If the allegations put forth by KFile and CNN are false, get a really good attorney, come up with a modicum of evidence that disproves some of it, sue them and settle in court. If you’re not able to do that within a reasonable period of time, then it puts weight to the likely reality that some, maybe not all, but some of these allegations are true, and if they are, they’re devastating and disqualifying.
  • It shouldn’t be that difficult to disprove the basis for some of these reports, if they’re untrue.
