Glenn Youngkin Appears as Special Guest at Fundraiser for MAGA Extremist Mark Robinson

August 25, 2024

Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin continues to support and promote extreme MAGA candidates, this time, traveling to Raleigh to go to a fundraiser for North Carolina GOP nominee for governor Mark Robinson.

    • Mark Robinson supports a total ban on abortion with no exceptions, stating he wants to sign a bill that says “you can’t have an abortion in North Carolina for any reason.” He even told women that abortion “is about killing the child because you weren’t responsible enough to keep your skirt down.”
    • Robinson wants to defund public education, saying he would reject public education funds in North Carolina, calling teachers “wicked people,” and encouraging parents to push their kids out of public schools.

Robinson is just one of many extreme MAGA candidates Youngkin has publicly endorsed as he continues to cozy up to Donald Trump. In July, Youngkin spoke at a rally for Donald Trump in Chesapeake, where Trump spewed false rhetoric about immigrants and called for the people who stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6 to be released from prison. In May, Youngkin campaigned for New Hampshire gubernatorial candidate Kelly Ayotte, who voted for a federal abortion ban and to  restrict access to birth control and IVF. And just this month, Youngkin refused to remove a board member at George Mason University who authored the Project 2025 chapter to defund the Department of Education.

“After pushing for an abortion ban and getting rejected by voters, Youngkin continues to show he’s no moderate by campaigning for the most extreme candidates in the entire county this year,” DPVA Chairwoman Susan Swecker said. “Voters in North Carolina saw Virginians’ buyers' remorse in 2023 when they flipped the state legislature blue to block Youngkin’s extreme agenda – but they won’t be making that same mistake by letting Mark Robinson in the Executive Mansion to begin with.”
