North Carolina GOP gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson has said it himself : Hes a conspiracy theorist.

He didnt specify in that March interview what that means in terms of what he believes. It turns out it means he has spread virtually every conspiracy theory you can think of.

Robinson, who is the states lieutenant governor, has said he wouldnt be surprised if the 1969 moon landing was fake and the 9/11 terrorist attacks were an inside job. Hes SERIOUSLY skeptical of President John F. Kennedys assassination and of the 2017 mass shooting in Las Vegas. He falsely accused David Hogg, a survivor of the 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, of being a paid actor. Hes claimed that climate change is based on junk science.

And those are just the dangerous theories hes echoed that have been previously reported.

In lesser-noticed social media posts, Robinson has said that news coverage of police shootings is part of a media conspiracy designed to push US towards their new world order. He and his wife both liked a since-deleted Facebook comment that stated, WWG1WGA are my Identity letters, a reference to the QAnon rallying cry Where we go one, we go all. In October 2018, on a day when authorities intercepted pipe bombs intended for President Barack Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and CNN, Robinson suggested on Facebook that they had done it to themselves. If you cant beat em, bomb yourself, he wrote.

He followed that with another Facebook post claiming, This entire bombing story is faker than a $20 Rolex sold on a New York City sidewalk. Months later, another post on his Facebook page parroted the conspiracy theory that the pipe bomb incident was manufactured and fake.

Robinson is also a regular proponent of conspiracies claiming the music industry is being run by Satan and the Illuminati . He has called Beyoncs music satanic and described Jay-Z as demonic and sent by Satan to turn people away from Jesus. He suggested that the 2014 Boko Haram kidnapping of schoolgirls in Nigeria was orchestrated by billionaire Democratic philanthropist George Soros , a frequent target of antisemitic attacks by Republicans.

This Republican state official has also routinely pushed the New World Order conspiracy theory, which involves forced depopulation programs, a secretive ruling class of reptiles and elite globalists on a satanic mission to bring about the end times.

In one instance, Robinson warned on Facebook that the reality-TV shows American Idol, Dancing With the Stars and Chopped are a sign of an impending New World Order. He said they remind him of Soviet dictator Joseph Stalins Show Trials. Where people were lined up and judged then executed.

Yeah.

A Robinson campaign spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment on whether he stands by all of these claims.
