North Carolina’s Lt. Gov. Robinson Goes Nuclear on ‘Insane’ and ‘Insulting’ Leftist Narrative on Voter Suppression
BLAZE MEDIA | By Chris Pandolfo | April 22, 2021
How absolutely preposterous. Am I to believe that black Americans who have overcome the atrocities of slavery, who were victorious in the civil rights movement, and who now sit in the highest levels of government cannot figure out how to get a free ID to vote?
That we need to be coddled by politicians because they don’t think we can figure out how to make our voices heard? Are you kidding me!?
The notion that black people must be protected from a Free ID to vote is not just insane, it’s insulting.

Later in the hearing, Robinson made it clear that historically it was the Republican Party that supported voting rights for black Americans and the Democratic Party that supported voter suppression and Jim Crow.
“That history is clear who stood on which side at every turn in history. It is clear, it’s not even in dispute,” Robinson said. “What we want is integrity, we don’t want power. We want integrity.”
He also defended Republican-supported voter ID laws as “simple American responsibility” and reminded the Congress that Jim Crow laws “wasn’t just a poll tax.”
“You stepped outside the line during Jim Crow, you’d find yourself swinging from a tree,” he said.
“Requiring an ID to vote is just simple American responsibility.”

Robinson called voter ID “common sense legislation for the common good.”
“To say that somehow poor people, black people can’t be involved in that responsibility, again, is insulting,” he said.
