Sorry, I am not from the US. So this guy consumed porn. And what? Relax people!

Might sound weird to prude people, but most politicians had sex before! Some may have kinks! Why do people care about other people's sex life, if they aren't attracted to them?

And what has this to do with a community called politics? I don't get it.

Edit: wow, many replies! Thank you all for educating. If this man is saying people shouldn't consume porn, then yes, you are all right and it's a controversy that makes sense to shine some light on. I didn't think about that.

Robinson is a far right, born again Christian culture warrior. This is newsworthy because it’s extremely hypocritical of him.

But Robinson has used the word “pornography” to describe everything from music and network television to LGBTQ-themed children’s books. During this year’s N.C. Republican Party Convention, for example, Robinson called public school teachers and administrators “all-powerful bureaucrats … who believe it’s OK to feed your children a steady diet of communism and pornography.”

Not that hypocrisy is new to Robinson. He also said

”Abortion in this country is not about protecting the lives of mothers. It’s about killing the child because you weren’t responsible enough to keep your skirt down,”

after having paid for his wife’s abortion.

He has said that trans women should be

“arrested” if they go in a women’s bathroom. Instead, he suggests they should “find a corner outside somewhere” to relieve themselves.

He has also said that “some people just need killing” in a speech where he railed against a variety of evil people including rapists, liberals, socialists and communists.

He is thoroughly a piece of shit, and unfortunately there’s a chance he’ll be the governor of North Carolina. With an extremely Republican state legislature (currently a supermajority), he would be able to make life miserable for a lot of people.

Still, people shouldn't be downvoting sinkingship for the first thing that should come to mind. Because generally, who cares?

The hypocrisy and context needs to be here for this to be a story.
