North Carolina’s Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson is at it again. Seems the right wing super conservative, who also refers to himself as “a man of God,” just can’t stop embarrassing the state on a relatively regular basis with a variety of anti-LGBTQ comments.

TWO TO THE BODY, ONE TO THE HEAD. Sounds like a trainer telling a boxer how to attack his opponent, does it not? Actually, it’s one woman giving instructions as to how to shoot a gun in self-defense, to another woman. It has come to just that, my fellow Americans, in our very own
