'You can't transcend God's creation': NC Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson's rousing speech about transgender movement resurfaces to much fanfare



The transgender topic has become a hot-button issue in recent weeks because of the dominance of transgender swimmer Lia Thomas and Florida's new parental rights law. While corporate media has pushed a transgender agenda, a year-old video clip went viral this weekend on social media pushing back against the narrative. The lieutenant governor of North Carolina has gone viral for his scathing take on the matter.

North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson delivered a sermon about the rise of people identifying as transgender last August. The blistering speech resurfaced this weekend on social media and immediately went viral.

According to BizPac Review, Robinson delivered his remarks at the Upper Room Church of God in Christ in Raleigh, North Carolina. Robinson did not shy away from his criticisms of the transgender movement. Among his "controversial" statements from the address is that there are only "two genders."

"Here's something I'm not supposed to say: Ain't but two genders," Robinson proclaimed as he raised two fingers to the church crowd and then reiterated, "Two genders. Ain't nothing but men and women."

Robinson – North Carolina's first ever black lieutenant governor – was mindful that the local media may report on his belief that there are two genders, and challenged them, "Get every word of this here."

"You can go to the doctor and get cut up, you can go down to the dress shop and get made up, you can go down there and get drugged up, but at the end of the day, you are just a drugged-up, dressed-up, made-up, cut-up man or woman," Robinson exclaimed.

"You ain't changed what God put in you – that DNA," the lieutenant governor preached. "You can't transcend God's creation. I don't care how hard you try."

Robinson described the transgender movement in this country as "demonic."

"It's time for grownups and time for Christians to start standing up and being unafraid to tell the truth," Robinson contended. "Come after me if you want to. I don't care. You want my head – here it is right here. Come on, come get it."

"I don't care because it's time for us to stand up," Robinson declared. "Now I'm not afraid to stand up tell the truth about that issue."

"They dragging our kids down into the pit of hell trying to teach them that mess in our schools," he continued. "Tell you like this: That ain't got no place at no school. Two plus two don't equal transgender – it equals four. We need to get back to teaching them how to read instead of teaching them how to go to hell."

The resurfaced clip went viral on Twitter – amassing over 1.3 million views since being uploaded on Saturday.

The speech was widely applauded by conservative figures online.

Christian conservative Casper Stockham: "There are VERY FEW Republicans with enough coconuts to say anything about it!"

Cuban American school choice advocate Hamlet Garcia: "The Democrats have made the biggest mistake of their lives by messing with our children, indoctrinating our schools, They have turned their most loyal voters into their worst enemies."

Pro-life activist Obianuju Ekeocha: "Ok, dear brothers and sisters, let's listen in to the pastor preaching some undiluted, unadulterated, unfettered, unedited truth."

Congressional candidate Maud Maron: "The Democrats are you paying attention? Everyday Americans don’t want gender ideology taught in schools. Even if you disagree with the religious bent here, the takeaway is clear: teach the basics, leave the ideology at the schoolhouse door."

Former Trump campaign adviser Steve Cortes: "Some Sunday preaching from @markrobinsonNC God created us man and woman. We cannot retreat in the culture war."

Reporter Megan Basham: "All the amens for this brother in Christ!"

Communications strategist Caleb Hull: "Future of the GOP."

Author James Lindsay: "Based."

White NC Democratic Gov. Cooper refused to even acknowledge state's first black lieutenant governor — a Republican — during State of the State speech



North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson has made history and waves recently.

Robinson — a Republican — became the state's first black lieutenant governor when he was sworn in Jan. 9 after winning his election last November. In his elected role, he had the duty of presiding over Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper's State of the State address last week — making him the first black elected official to do so in the history of the Tar Heel State.

With such a powerful moment going on around him, one would think the governor would consider it worth mentioning during his annual address, the Rev. March Creech wrote in an op-ed for the Christian Post on Monday.

But anyone unfamiliar with Robinson's accomplishments would have learned nothing about them if Cooper's address was their source of information, state Senate Leader Phil Berger noted on Twitter.

"An indication of how far North Carolina has come is @markrobinsonNC, our first black Lt. Governor presiding over tonight's State of the State," Berger said. "An indication of how far the NC Democratic Party has to go is the Democratic Gov's failure to recognize him during the speech."

Creech pointed out that the offense was particularly hypocritical considering Cooper's past rhetoric and actions regarding Black Lives Matter and other race-related issues, not to mention the Democratic Party's ongoing claim to be all about supporting and celebrating black Americans' accomplishments:

The omission was egregious when you think about it, especially since Cooper removed Confederate monuments on the Capitol lawn, marched alongside protestors after the death of George Floyd, made statements in support of Black Lives Matter, and even brought up the issue of racism in his State of the State speech. Moreover, Cooper is a Democrat, supposedly the Party that genuinely cares about the black race. Yet, nothing in North Carolina history has ever occurred like what happened on that Monday evening – a duly elected black man presided over an entire branch of our State's government – to hear the Governor's State of the State speech – and there was not the first acknowledgment of Robinson's achievement for himself or the race he honorably represents.

Naturally, the mainstream media couldn't be bothered to bring up Cooper's blatant snub.

Creech is pretty sure he knows why: "Robinson doesn't fit the liberal narrative."

The lieutenant governor is an outspoken social conservative Republican who is not shy about sharing his Christian faith, which means he is "not the kind of minority that helps [the left's] cause."

Being the wrong kind of black man "won't even get you honorable mention in the halls of power with Leftists like Gov. Cooper, even if you are the first black Lt. Governor in the State's history," Creech wrote.

"Race, race, race. It's seemingly almost all we hear about from the Left these days. But when Democratic politicians, like Cooper, overlook, ignore, and diminish great men such as Mark Robinson, it seems to confirm the suspicion that race is being wielded as a political weapon."

Robinson made waves in DC

On April 22, Robinson was invited to testify at a hearing in the House of Representatives on the Voting Rights Act. Democrats conducted the hearing to criticize the new Georgia voting law that the left has been caught lying about and has purposefully mischaracterized as a return to the Jim Crow era.

During his opening remarks, Robinson called it "insane" and "insulting" to compare the voter ID laws passed in Georgia and other states to Jim Crow laws that were used to tyrannize black Americans and keep them from voting.

After elaborating on how and why it is "preposterous" to compare the Georgia law to Jim Crow laws, he launched into a history lesson, explaining that it was the Republican Party that backed voting rights for black people while the Democratic Party supported voter suppression and Jim Crow.

"That history is clear who stood on which side at every turn in history," Robinson said. "It is clear; it's not even in dispute."

North Carolina's Lt. Gov. Robinson goes nuclear on 'insane' and 'insulting' leftist narrative on voter suppression



The lieutenant governor of North Carolina, the first black man to hold that office, excoriated arguments from Democrats that compare voter integrity measures such as the new law passed in Georgia to racist voter suppression laws of the Jim Crow south.

On Thursday, Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson (R) testified at a hearing in the House of Representatives titled, "Oversight of the Voting Rights Act: The Evolving Landscape of Voting Discrimination." In his opening remarks, he said it was "insane" and "insulting" for anyone to compare the voter ID laws passed in Georgia and other states to Jim Crow laws that were used to tyrannize black Americans and keep them from voting.

"My people were put in the belly of ships, bound by chains, and endured the middle passage. My people were whipped, beaten, and sold as property. In Reconstruction and throughout Jim Crow, black people were intimidated, harassed, and even killed to keep them from having a voice in government," Robinson told House lawmakers. "Symbols like chains, nooses, and burnt crosses are not just symbols of death, they are symbols of forced and coerced silence.

"The sacrifices of our ancestors so I could have the opportunity to become the first black lieutenant governor of my state, to see a black man sit in the White House, and for millions of us to be leaders in business, athletics, and culture is incredible," he continued.

Turning to the Georgia law, which Democrats have accused of implementing "Jim Crow in 2021" by suppressing the minority vote, Robinson demanded to know how black voices were being silenced or kept out of the political process.

"How? By fear of a noose or chains? To be fired from work? To be ostracized by their communities? No. A free ID to vote. Let me say that again, a free ID to vote," he said.

He continued:

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.

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.
