Mark Robinson comes out of hiding

Raw Story  

For months, North Carolina Lt. Gov. Robinson has repeatedly suggested that the NC Department of Health and Human Services was “weaponized” by his critics to steer a state investigation into his wife’s now closed nonprofit — Balanced Nutrition, Inc. Stein’s campaign has aired television ads highlighting state citations against the daycare, branding it “unsafe for our kids.” Robinson has staunchly defended his ownership of the daycare. He continued to do so Thursday, calling it “one of the proudest moments of my life.” “I’ve got a lying guy named Josh Stein that will take false images and try to place them on me, try to make me look like a criminal,” Robinson said at Brantley’s Village Restaurant in Oriental. “I’m not better off than I was four years ago, and I want that changed,” said Joey Roberts, a Pamlico County resident who saw Robinson in Oriental.
