Mark Robinson, the controversial and socially conservative Republican nominee for governor of North Carolina, made a series of inflammatory comments on a pornography website’s message board more than a decade ago, in which he referred to himself as a “black NAZI!” and expressed support for reinstating slavery, a CNN KFile investigation found.
Speaks to character, if you run as a “family values” candidate while cheating on your spouse. It’s not inherently disqualifying, especially compared to self identifying as a Nazi, but it’s not something that the press or the people should ignore.
“What people do in the sheets” rhetoric is for stuff like kinky sex or being gay…nobody should care if he likes getting pegged. Nobody should care if he has an open relationship. Nobody should care that he likes trans porn, which he said he does. The problem with cheating is the character concern of caring about your wants no matter who it hurts. That is a bad characteristic for a political leader.
Nobody should care if he has an open relationship.
And yet here we are. I understand the stigma with Ashley Madison. If it were tinder, Grindr, or any other hookup site that is not a “cheating” site would that be ok?
I don’t think people would care about any of this nearly as much if he didn’t represent a party that claims all of these things are ‘ungodly’, and the same party that negatively attributes this kind of behavior to the LGBTQ community, while actively trying to erase their existence. I think it’s important that people call out the hypocrisy.
I don’t think the app that he used really matters as far as the criticism goes, though if it was Grindr it would’ve been even more hurtful to his career, as most of the people who were going to vote for him would be extremely bigoted against that.
The sticky part is that the key difference between cheating and an open relationship is consent, so the app/site itself doesn’t change anything, his partner’s knowledge and acceptance of his use of the app/site does.
Because he’s a hypocrite. His platform is on family values, but says things like “women who get abortions can’t keep their skirts down”. Even though his wife has had an abortion and now apparently either has cheated on his wife or prepared to. He can’t keep it in his pants.
He referred to himself as a black nazi, and is into trans porn. That in itself isn’t an issue, however he’s a republican whom do not support trans rights
So much this. Most normal people do not care what others do in the sheets. The qons, however, seem to keep themselves up at night in a fever sweat over what others do, and make that a primary plank of theirs. Normal people only care what these qons are doing in the sheets because these weird jackasses are shown to be hypocrites.
I am not judging sexual practices. I am judging those who choose to betray their partner. Here is the person he is most committed to in this world, the person who expects undying loyalty in exchange for the same in return, and he is seemingly shitting all over that vow.
If you only care about practicality, then consider that one will not care for the people in general if they cannot care for those closer to them. Honesty and compassion mean nothing to this man.

Why are people so worried about what people do in the sheets?
