Gun owner who went viral wins North Carolina lieutenant governor GOP primary
A gun owner who went viral for delivering a compelling gun rights speech won the North Carolina lieutenant governor GOP primary, becoming the first African-American to achieve the feat.
“Our message is so much more than the Second Amendment, which is a crucial issue,” Republican Mark Robinson told “Fox & Friends First.” “It’s a message that touches on all the topics conservative North Carolinians are concerned with today.”
Robinson said that he’s passionate about “standing for the unborn.”
“I believe that we need to purge abortion from our shores for the cause of life the same way that we purged slavery for the cause of liberty.”
Robinson also cited the importance of standing up for veterans, law enforcement and “ending indoctrination in our public schooling.”
Robinson gained to the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor on Tuesday in a crowded field. The former factory worker and daycare operator became a national spokesman of gun rights after a viral speech delivered before a North Carolina city council in 2016.
“Robinson of Greensboro got the most votes and exceeded the 30 percent threshold needed to win outright and avoid a runoff,” according to USA Today.
Is there a way you can keep videos from autoplaying when someone visits? It’s a bit disconcerting to start reading and have a video start playing somewhere down the page. One doesn’t have the context of what they are talking about and it’s distracting from the other articles on the page. Also, once one has listened to the video and comes back to the page, it starts playing automatically again and does this each visit until it finally scrolls off the first page on the site. I haven’t tried going to the second page to see if they keep doing this, but it is an issue on the first page.
Those are vids from FOX news, as opposed to YouToobie vids which have to be clicked on to run, and I know of no way to stop them from ‘auto playing’.
If they’re that much of a bother, I can simply make sure to not put them in.
