It was a rough first session for Kansas Rep. Marvin Robinson . . . The newly elected politico had only one humble goal . . . To fulfill campaign promises and secure funding for his beloved Quindaro restoration project. Unfortunately, political controversy thwarted his effort.
Rep. Robinson voted with Republicans on the "Women's Bill Of Rights" and that move against Democratic Party support for trans rights not only sparked funding for his project to be gutted amid a budget surplus BUT ALSO inspired other Democratic Party leaders to use racial slurs against him in public.
This week . . . We notice that conservative leaders wanted to express thanks for his vote. Here's more info about the award they bestowed upon him . . .
“Frederick Douglass famously said, ‘I would unite with anybody to do right and with nobody to do wrong,'” Patton said. “Rep. Robinson exemplified that meaningful quote all session.
