I find it appalling that the Republican nominee for president calls our lieutenant governor "better than Martin Luther King Jr." and you stay silent. We have all heard the outrageous statements made by Mark Robinson, and you've stayed silent. New reporting shows that Mark Robinson has called himself the black Nazi, supported Hitler, degraded Martin Luther King Junior, and wrote that he thinks slavery was a good thing. You remain silent. How low does your party need to go before you speak out? You will be forever tied to this shameful moment in the history of the GOP unless you speak out for what it right. I urge you to speak out today. Call on Mark Robinson to step down. Call on Donald Trump to step out of the race. Shame on you for your silence.
