So here's a clip of pro-life, pro-forced birth Mark Robinson giving a speech in a church in North Carolina. It's hard to listen to. He's hard to listen to. But they're always telling us we need to listen to people who support Trump and understand where they're coming from. So let's listen.

Again, he's in a church saying some people, wicked people, need killing. He cites Nazis as an historic example of wicked people who needed killing, which I guess is a bold stance for a GOP candidate, considering the way Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump are always pailing around with Nazis and white supremacists. He doesn't name the wicked people who need killing now, but...

I think we all know who he means, who churchy Republicans think of when you talk about wicked people today. The gays, the abortionists, and public school teachers who Robinson has condemned. And I'm quoting here from his speech to the North Carolina Republican State Party Convention. He condemned public school teachers for feeding your children a steady diet of communism and pornography.

Robinson hates porn. He backs Project 2025, which calls for outlawing porn and throwing adult content creators into prison. Anyway, back to the story in the assembly. Turns out Mark Robinson frequented porn shops in North Carolina, like frequently frequented, like five nights a week frequency.

According to Lewis Money, who managed the porn shops that Robinson frequented and others, clients and staffers, Mark Robinson spent a lot of money renting porn and watching porn in video booths at the back of these dirty bookstores.

At a time when Robinson and his wife were in such dire financial straits, they declared bankruptcy three times and bounced checks for $3,000 worth of Girl Scout cookies. I read the story. It's long. It's amazing. There's a link in the show notes if you would like to read it too. And I followed the reaction to it on political sites and podcasts.

And I was surprised that no one asked the obvious follow-up question or made the obvious follow-up statement of fact. Here's Tim Miller, host of the Bulwark podcast, talking about Robinson. with former GOP Congressman Adam Kinzinger, who you may have seen at the Democratic National Convention, where he gave a speech endorsing Kamala Harris.

How could Tim, a gay man, fail to ask the obvious follow-up question here or make the obvious statement of fact? I texted Tim and said, girl, how did you miss the glory hole piece of this? He responded, this is more your area of expertise than mine, both generationally and subject matter.

Okay, Tim, let this old faggot me explain how video booths in the backs of dirty bookstores, most of which are gone now, gay men of Tim's generation probably have never been in one. Let me explain how it works for you and explain it for everyone else who missed the real story here. Which isn't that Mark Robinson, heterosexual man, likes porn.

It's that Mark Robinson, heterosexual man, was sitting in a room where men go to suck dicks five nights a week for years. If you go into one of those booths, there are going to be holes in the walls and dicks are going to come through those holes and the dicks are a feature, not a bug. I'm sorry.
