The lieutenant governor explained why he owns AR-15s less than 24 hours after the racist mass shooting in Buffalo.
— not because he was worried about his Republican opponent, but because he was worried about his Republican successor. If the governor was elected to the Senate, Republican Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson would become governor, and Cooper said he couldn’t in good conscience impose Robinson on North Carolinians.
In other words, according to North Carolina’s lieutenant governor, he has semi-automatic assault rifles on hand in case he feels the need to shoot Americans as part of his dissatisfaction with the government.that Cooper shared a video clip of Robinson’s comments via social media, calling the Republican’s rhetoric “dangerous and not who we are as patriotic North Carolinians.”
Attorney General Josh Stein, who’ll likely be a Democratic gubernatorial candidate in 2024, published a brief statement of his own. “Robinson’s statement is incredibly dangerous,” he wrote on Twitter. “To say that you have an AR-15 to shoot government officials is simply unacceptable. We need leaders who are focused on serving the public, not pushing pretend culture wars. We are better than this.”
