THE HOTTEST IN THE COUNTRY. THESE TWO CANDIDATES HAVE EIGHT MONTHS TO CONVINCE NORTH CAROLINA VOTERS WHO IS THE BEST MAN TO LEAD THIS STATE, MARK ROBINSON’S VISION IS BLEAK AND DIVISIVE, CONSUMED BY SPITE AND HATE. AND WE’RE NOT GOING TO ALLOW THESE FOLKS TO DRAG THIS CAMPAIGN INTO THE MUD. THOSE WHO WANT TO GO INTO THE MUD, FEEL FREE. BOTH PARTIES HAVE ALREADY BEGUN THE FIGHT ONLINE. THE DEMOCRATIC GOVERNORS ASSOCIATION LAUNCHED A VIDEO USING ROBINSON’S OWN WORDS AGAINST HIM I LOVE TO PASS A LAW TO RESTRICT ABORTION. WE COULD PASS A BILL TO SAY, YOU CAN’T HAVE AN ABORTION IN NORTH CAROLINA FOR ANY REASON, THE REPUBLICAN GOVERNORS ASSOCIATION LAUNCHED THE REAL JOSH STEIN WEBSITE, ACCUSING THE DEMOCRAT OF SUPPORTING PRESIDENT BIDEN AND FAILING AS NORTH CAROLINA’S ATTORNEY GENERAL, CLAIMING THE NUMBER OF MURDERS ROSE 25% UNDER HIS WATCH. THE WEBSITE DOESN’T CITE WHERE THE NUMBERS COME FROM. THE FBI CRIME REPORT NOTES THE NUMBER OF MURDERS IN NORTH CAROLINA FELL 13% IN 2022. I SAID, I THINK YOU’RE BETTER THAN MARTIN LUTHER KING.

NOW PEOPLE ASK ME, WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR DEMOCRATIC CHALLENGER? THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE I’M PART OF A WINNING TEAM. HE’S PART OF A LOSING TEAM, ROBINSON SAYS REPUBLICANS HAVE DONE A BETTER JOB THAN DEMOCRATS. WITH THE ECONOMY, NOTING THE STATE’S $5 BILLION SURPLUS AND ITS NUMBER ONE RANKING AS A BUSINESS DESTINATION. YOU BETTER BELIEVE THAT SCARE AWAY BUSINESS AND GOOD PAYING JOBS. WE’VE BEEN DOWN THIS ROAD BEFORE HERE. HB2, THE BATHROOM BILL, AND IT IS A DEAD END. WHOEVER WINS THIS ELECTION, IT WILL BE NORTH CAROLINA HISTORY, VOTERS WILL EITHER ELECT THE STATE’S FIRST BLACK GOVERNOR OR ITS FIRST JEWISH GOVERNOR. IN GREENSBORO, I’M BI
