North Carolina lieutenant governor rejects call to resign over anti-LGBTQ comments
North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson (R) rejected calls for his resignation on Saturday after a number of lawmakers condemned his comments describing homosexuality as "filth."
Robinson remained defiant in a video posted to Facebook, saying he "will not back down."
"Let me tell you plainly right here and right now: I will not back down, I will not be silent, and I will not be bullied into submission," Robinson said.
The lieutenant governor's comments come after a video circulated last week in which he made remarks at Asbury Baptist Church in Seagrove, N.C., in June describing transgenderism and homosexuality as "filth."
