Now the Trump campaign is urging him to drop out because of this story on CNN:
Mark Robinson, the controversial and socially conservative Republican nominee for governor of North Carolina, made a series of inflammatory comments on a pornography website’s message board more than a decade ago, in which he referred to himself as a “black NAZI!” and expressed support for reinstating slavery, a CNN KFile investigation found.
Despite a recent history of anti-transgender rhetoric, Robinson said he enjoyed watching transgender pornography, a review of archived messages found in which he also referred to himself as a “perv.”
The comments, which Robinson denies making, predate his entry into politics and current stint as North Carolina’s lieutenant governor. They were made under a username that CNN was able to identify as Robinson by matching a litany of biographical details and a shared email address between the two.
Many of Robinson’s comments were gratuitously sexual and lewd in nature. They were made between 2008 and 2012 on “Nude Africa,” a pornographic website that includes a message board. The comments were made under the username minisoldr, a moniker Robinson used frequently online.
Robinson listed his full name on his profile for Nude Africa, as well as an email address he used on numerous websites across the internet for decades.
CNN is reporting only a small portion of Robinson’s comments on the website given their graphic nature.
They’re gross but they’re entirely in keeping with other things he’s said and done. He was reportedly a very regular visitor to a porn store where he visited the little private room to watch them. He was there many days a week. He’s said, “some people need killing” (in a church!) and condemned women for getting pregnant saying they need to get “control down there.” There’s a lot more that they all knew about before this latest revelation. He’s a pig but being a pig is a MAGA selling point.
Trump is terrified a he’s going to lose N Carolina so they’ve seized on this to try to get him off the ballot because they believe he’s dragging them down. But they already got RFK taken off the ballot to help Trump and the delayed ballots are already printed and slated to go out on the 21st. Will the courts issue another stay to delay the ballots so they can try to get this weirdo off the ballot? Seems like a stretch but in this race anything can happen.
It’s unclear how this is going to go but so far, Robinson isn’t quitting:
I suspect that he’d think about it for the right amount of money. He’d better get it upfront because Trump doesn’t pay.
