Republican NC gov candidate fires back after outrage over ‘some folks need killing’ comment
SUMMARY
North Carolina's Republican gubernatorial nominee, Mark Robinson, defended himself against accusations of endorsing political violence after saying "some folks need killing" during a church speech. The Biden-Harris campaign labeled him a "MAGA extremist" for these remarks. Robinson's campaign clarified that he was referring to historical enemies like the Nazis and the Imperial Japanese Army, not advocating for contemporary political violence. Robinson, endorsed by former President Donald Trump, faces a close race against Democratic Attorney General Josh Stein, with polls showing a slight advantage for Stein.
