Sorry, I am not from the US. So this guy consumed porn. And what? Relax people!
Might sound weird to prude people, but most politicians had sex before! Some may have kinks! Why do people care about other people's sex life, if they aren't attracted to them?
And what has this to do with a community called politics? I don't get it.
Edit: wow, many replies! Thank you all for educating. If this man is saying people shouldn't consume porn, then yes, you are all right and it's a controversy that makes sense to shine some light on. I didn't think about that.
Robinson is a far right, born again Christian culture warrior. This is newsworthy because it’s extremely hypocritical of him.
Not that hypocrisy is new to Robinson. He also said
after having paid for his wife’s abortion.
He has said that trans women should be
He has also said that “some people just need killing” in a speech where he railed against a variety of evil people including rapists, liberals, socialists and communists.
He is thoroughly a piece of shit, and unfortunately there’s a chance he’ll be the governor of North Carolina. With an extremely Republican state legislature (currently a supermajority), he would be able to make life miserable for a lot of people.
What are the odds he's also against "public indecency acts" like peeing in public and would gladly have them strung up for what they're doing to children's poor innocent widdle eyes?
Still, people shouldn't be downvoting sinkingship for the first thing that should come to mind. Because generally, who cares?
The hypocrisy and context needs to be here for this to be a story.
For anyone familiar with US politics, him being a hypocritical weirdo pervert is the first thing most of us think of.
For people like sinkingship this is strange and baffling. For the rest of us, it's Wednesday.
Also, the context is in the subhead and the beginning of the article...
