NC Lt. Gov. Robinson under fire for meme doubting Paul Pelosi attack

A post on Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson's Facebook page made light of the attack on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband, casting doubt on details surrounding the assault.

RALEIGH, N.C. — A post on Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson’s personal Facebook page appears to make light of and cast doubt on details surrounding the attack last week on the husband of U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

“I’m sorry Paul I don’t believe you or the press!!!!” the post, published Saturday, says. The message was posted along with an image of packaging mocked up to look like a Halloween costume for an “attacker.” The image features a picture of a shirtless, grinning, hammer-wielding man wearing underwear.
