North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson (R) has made clear that he will not succumb to the leftist calls for his resignation for labeling the promotion of “trangenderism” and “homosexuality” in schools as “filth.”
He referred to the promotion of transgenderism and homosexuality as ‘filth’ in a clip that was recorded in June at Asbury Baptist Church, in Seagrove North Carolina, according to CBS 17. The clip has recently made its way around social media.

“There’s no reason anybody anywhere in America should be telling any child about transgenderism, homosexuality, any of that filth,” Robinson says in the video. “And yes I called it filth. And if you don’t like it that I called it filth come see me, and I’ll explain it to you.”
The video has sparked outrage on the left. Deputy White House press secretary Andrew Bates referred to the clip as “repugnant and offensive,” according to Fox News.
Others on the left have called for Robinson’s resignation, including North Carolina State Senators Wiley Nickel (D-16) and Jeff Jackson (D-37).
“Mark Robinson is a disgrace and an embarrassment to our state – he should resign immediately,” tweeted Sen. Nickel.
“Mark Robinson should resign,” Sen. Jackson tweeted.


Robinson posted a video to his Facebook account on October 9 where he doubled down on his sentiments and refuses to cave to leftist pressure.



“For several days now, I have been viciously attacked because of a clip video where I talk about removing the sexualization of children from the classrooms in our public education system,” Robinson states at the beginning of the video.
“Well let me tell you plainly right here and right now: I will not back down. I will not be silenced, and I will not be bullied into submission,” Robinson added. “I will continue to fight for the rights of our children to receive an education, that is free from sexual concepts that do not belong in the classroom, and I don’t care who doesn’t like it.”
Robinson highlighted how the left has aimed to make his comments about the LGBTQ community rather than a conversation regarding explicit content in the classroom.
“Of course, the media and those on the left have tried to change the focus from education to the LGBTQ community, specifically that I hate them,” Robinson states. “Let me be clear, I will fight for and protect the rights of all citizens, including those in the LGBTQ community to express themselves however they want. That is their right as Americans and I don’t think that government has any role in telling them otherwise.”
“However the idea that our children should be taught about concepts of transgenderism and be exposed to sexually explicit materials in the classroom is abhorrent,” he stated.

His political career in NC is over. Schools will teach whatever is necessary to keep the federal funds rolling in. Federal money ALWAYS comes with Federal strings.
He will find a home in the religious, conservative tent in the national R party but not as a viable national candidate. More as a pundit like Sarah Palin used to be.

He didn't call their lifestyle filth. He called promoting that in school filth.

That’s the headline, but the quote in the OP reads differently, IMO:
“There’s no reason anybody anywhere in America should be telling any child about transgenderism, homosexuality, any of that filth,” Robinson says in the video. “And yes I called it filth. And if you don’t like it that I called it filth come see me, and I’ll explain it to you.”

Will try to find an actual article

This quote form the article adequately gives insight about the path he is walking.

He probably didn’t choose the best words to describe his frustration but I applaud his standing up to the ridiculous cancel culture our society has seemed to embrace.
Holding someone accountable for their comments is not cancel culture. The Radical Right is obsessed with perceived slights, the irony is that Trumpism is cancel culture in its purest form - anyone who tells the truth about the election or the insurrection on January 6th is immediately cancelled by the Right. It's one big puppet show and and an anti-American, orange scumbag is pulling the strings.

Fair enough, but it’s not “the media and the left” doing anything to him, it’s his own words. If he misspoke then say so and stop trying to play the victim

Holding accountable and speaking out against it is one thing, getting someone fired is another. Gruden is jobless this morning over something he said in emails a decade ago.

I’m all for calling out bigotry - absolutely. But we have a society where people are losing livelihoods for not towing the PC line for their entire lives.

Article doesn't read as if he misspoke. Article reads ( to me) that he is fighting back against those conflating of "filth in the classroom" with a judgement of LGBQT filth of lifestyle.

Which, in his defense, conflation is the standard approach of all politicians because manipulating people with fear and hate is the easiest tool in their box.
