NC Gubernatorial Candidate Mark Robinson Faces Backlash Over Offensive Online Posts

Robinson's past comments on a porn site, including racist and antisemitic remarks, have led to calls for him to withdraw from the race.

  • Mark Robinson, endorsed by Donald Trump, is under fire for posts on a pornographic website where he called himself a 'Black Nazi' and praised Adolf Hitler.
  • The posts, made between 2008 and 2012, also included support for slavery, derogatory comments about Martin Luther King Jr., and homophobic slurs.
  • Robinson has denied making the comments, likening the situation to a 'high-tech lynching' similar to Clarence Thomas's experience.
  • Despite calls from within his own party to drop his endorsement, Trump has not rescinded his support for Robinson.
  • The controversy could impact the broader GOP, including Trump's presidential campaign, as North Carolina is a key swing state in the upcoming election.
