MeToo backlash ad creator defends message, says movement will lead to ‘lynching black folks’

WaTimes: The North Carolina man behind the Arkansas ad that says #MeToo will lead to “lynching black folks” stood by his group’s involvement in the congressional race and said it also is getting involved in neighboring Missouri’s U.S. Senate contest.

Vernon Robinson, co-founder and treasurer of Black Americans for the President’s Agenda, launched a full-force attack on the #MeToo movement in an interview with The Washington Times late Thursday evening, stating that black men will be harmed by junking the presumption of innocence and instead categorically believing all sexual misconduct accusers.

“Should we believe Tom Robinson’s accuser?” he asked, referring to the black man in the novel “To Kill A Mockingbird.” “She had a witness, which is more than Christine Blasey Ford had.”

Ms. Blasey Ford, a California professor, appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee and testified that Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh had groped her when they were teens. The FBI investigated but couldn’t corroborate her allegations. The full Senate later confirmed him as a associate justice on the high court.

Mr. Robinson went on to cite a real-life lynching of a black man over charges of sexual indiscretion.

“Should we believe Emmet Till’s accuser? At least two white Democrats did,” and murdered him and desecrated his corpse in response, he said.

The Times and other news outlets had reported earlier Thursday on his group’s inflammatory ad, on which two black women warn about the hearings on Justice Kavanaugh, which were taken over by uncorroborated sexual-misconduct charges.

This shows that “white Democrats” want to bring back “the bad old days” of lynching black men over perceived or non-existent sexual improprieties with white women, the two black women say in stereotypical “dishing at the beauty shop” voices.

Rep. French Hill, the Republican running for re-election in Arkansas’ 2nd Congressional District and the man whom the ad was intended to benefit, denounced it on Twitter .

“Some may have heard an appalling ad on the radio. I condemn this outrageous ad in the strongest terms. I do not support that message, and there is no place in Arkansas for this nonsense,” Mr. Hill wrote.

Mr. Robinson responded that “more individuals including the congressman should talk about the tremendous overreach of the #MeToo movement.”
When asked directly whether Mr. Hill was a “coward,” he deflected the question with a chuckle.

“The congressman has to run his race; I have to do what’s best for black Americans by pursuing the president’s agenda,” Mr. Robinson said. “The ad may make the congressman uncomfortable, but black men are feeling more uncomfortable at losing the presumption of innocence.”

It’s not just the Arkansas race.
