‘He’s Evil’: James Carville Reacts to WILD Montage of Trump-Backed Gubernatorial Candidate Saying ‘Insane’ Things

Republican Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson won North Carolina’s Republican gubernatorial primary on Tuesday, which means his Democratic opponent Josh Stein will have tons of opposition research to work with.

Robinson has a history of making wildly bigoted statements about various marginalized groups, and a handful of those remarks were captured in a montage aired on Wednesday’s edition of The Beat on MSNBC, where Democratic strategist James Carville did not mince words about the Republican.

“He has compared gay Americans to ‘maggots,'” host Ari Melber noted. “He has quoted Hitler positively, including the idea of racial ‘pride in one’s own race.'”

The host then played clips of Robinson, who has received the backing of former President Donald Trump.

“There’s no reason anybody anywhere in America should be telling any child about transgenderism, homosexuality, any of that filth!” Robinson told an audience.

Elsewhere, Robinson, called survivors of the Parkland, Florida shooting “spoiled, angry, and kn0w-it-all children.”

“Makes me sick every time I see it when I pass a church that flies that rainbow flag,” Robinson said in another clip.

“I absolutely want to go back to the America where women couldn’t vote,” he said in another.

Carville offered a strategy for defeating Robinson in November while also calling him an “evil” who says “insane” things:

They gotta put the microphone in every Republican’s face. You know? “Would you vote for this guy? What do you have to say about it?” These are some things that a nomination for a major state, a gubernatorial candidate endorsed by your presidential candidate, you back Trump. You have to back people in the corner.

And we pay way more for some naive people in our party. But that guy is not naive. He’s evil. I mean, what he said, that’s not somebody being naive. That’s insane beyond any imagination. And we have to drive that home and drive it again and again and again, and make people– hold people accountable, you know?

North Carolina is a populous, important state that is growing every day. And I think that we can use this, we can leverage this issue to many, many bigger things. I really do.
