No lightning bolts, just solid campaign stumping on party values was spoken by North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson on Monday evening at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wis.<\/p>\n<p>Calling party presidential nominee the &ldquo;brave heart&rdquo; the country needs, Robinson shared the shortened version of his tragic family upbringing with an alcoholic and abusive father. He told of a chance gas station meeting with a man facing bankruptcy he recently encountered on the campaign trail; his shot at history as the state&rsquo;s first Black governor; and he hit on the night&rsquo;s theme, &ldquo;Make America Wealthy Again.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Under President Trump, the American Dream was alive and well,&rdquo; Robinson. &ldquo;Under President Trump there was hope. And we need that now more than ever. This November, let&rsquo;s elect the brave heart of our time, Donald J. Trump, to get our economy back on track, restore the American Dream, and make America great again.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>His remarks were just over three minutes on stage at Fiserv Forum Arena, home of the NBA&rsquo;s Milwaukee Bucks.<\/p>\n<p>Speeches by Robinson are associated with the hot glare of a spotlight. It&rsquo;s how he rose from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bBEUlJZg5CY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>commenting as a citizen at a Greensboro City Council meeting<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;in 2018 to the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecentersquare.com\/north_carolina\/article_9ca64d2e-1ec2-11eb-a91c-3b5c1e0ea241.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>office of lieutenant governor in 2020<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;and now the Republican choice for governor against Democrat Josh Stein.<\/p>\n<p>At the Lake Church, in southeastern North Carolina&rsquo;s White Lake, he spoke for about 30 minutes. Emotional at times talking about his family, he also talked about Americans killed in War War II.<\/p>\n<p>He named the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor, and mentioned &ldquo;Nazis,&rdquo; a reference to Adolf Hitler&rsquo;s National Socialist German Workers&rsquo; Party. And he spoke of America&rsquo;s response in fighting for democracy abroad.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, the context has been left out with as the quotes reverberate.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Some folks need killing!&rdquo; Robinson said at White Lake. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s time for somebody to say it. It&rsquo;s not a matter of vengeance. It&rsquo;s not a matter of being mean or spiteful. It&rsquo;s a matter of necessity.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Last Wednesday&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/thepetekalinershow.com\/episode\/nc-lt-gov-is-disappointed-in-dishonest-state-media-07-10-2024-hour3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>in a radio interview with Pete Kaliner<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;in Charlotte, he said, &ldquo;They chose one phrase that they didn&rsquo;t like, took it out of context, and tried to use it as a weapon. But again, it&rsquo;s just a symbol of their dishonesty.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Since and again on Monday two days after the&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecentersquare.com\/national\/article_44b1609c-4167-11ef-95da-4f60207d2613.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">failed assassination attempt on Trump in Pennsy<\/a>lvania<\/strong>, Democrats made Robinson an opportunity. He&rsquo;s refused to take the bait and go back-and-forth with the attacks.<\/p>\n<p>He said recently meeting the man facing bankruptcy took him back to lying awake at night, debating which bills were not going to get paid.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Unfortunately today, many families are having that same experience,&rdquo; Robinson said to delegates Monday, three days before Trump takes the stage in acceptance of the nomination. &ldquo;Under Joe Biden, grocery prices have skyrocketed. Gas is nearly double. In North Carolina, factories just like the one I worked at are closing, leaving families feeling hopeless.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;But there is hope. And I&rsquo;ve proved it. My wife and I never gave up. We kept our faith. We worked hard, and made it through those tough times. Now I stand before you on the verge of becoming the first Black governor of North Carolina.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>He said he wouldn&rsquo;t forget his roots, or the struggles of the people he meets.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;And you know, there&rsquo;s somebody else who will fight just as hard for you,&rdquo; Robinson said. &ldquo;President Donald J.
