Mark Robinson Denies Allegations of Racist and Graphic Posts
North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson is facing allegations of making racist and graphic posts on an online porn forum. In a report by CNN, it was revealed that Robinson referred to himself as a “black NAZI” and made controversial statements such as “slavery is not bad.” These comments were reportedly posted on a pornographic forum, along with graphic sexual messages attributed to Robinson.
The lieutenant governor, who has received praise from Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, denied the allegations in a video statement released shortly before the report was published. Robinson accused his Democratic opponent, state Attorney General Josh Stein, of leaking the story to CNN. Despite pressure from some within the Trump campaign to drop out of the race, Robinson made it clear that he has no intention of withdrawing from the gubernatorial race in North Carolina.
Controversies Surrounding Mark Robinson
This is not the first time Robinson has found himself embroiled in controversy. In a report by The Assembly, it was alleged that Robinson frequented 24-hour porn shops’ private video booths multiple times a week in the 1990s and early 2000s. His campaign spokesman vehemently denied these claims and criticized the reporters as “degenerates.”
Additionally, Robinson has faced accusations of antisemitism and Holocaust denial due to a Facebook post he made in 2018. Despite these allegations, Robinson has denied being antisemitic. The lieutenant governor has also made divisive remarks about abortion, including stating that his wife had an abortion 30 years prior and calling it “a very difficult decision.” Furthermore, Robinson has expressed controversial views on abortion, claiming it is not about protecting the lives of mothers but rather about “killing the child because you weren’t responsible enough to keep your skirt down.”
Political Impact and Response
These controversies have had a significant impact on Robinson’s gubernatorial campaign in North Carolina. Recent polls show his Democratic opponent, Josh Stein, leading by wide margins. In response to the allegations, Stein has launched a new initiative called “Republicans for Stein” to capitalize on the growing discontent with Robinson within the Republican Party.
Despite the mounting pressure and negative publicity, Robinson has continued to receive support from Donald Trump. The former president has praised Robinson as a “good man” and compared him to civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. “on steroids.” At a campaign rally in Asheboro, North Carolina, Trump reiterated his support for Robinson, stating that he “gotta win.”
Conclusion
In conclusion, Mark Robinson’s gubernatorial campaign in North Carolina has been marred by allegations of racist and graphic posts on a porn forum, as well as other controversies surrounding his past statements and actions. Despite these challenges, Robinson remains steadfast in his commitment to continue in the race and has the support of key figures within the Republican Party. As the election approaches, it remains to be seen how these controversies will impact Robinson’s chances of winning the governorship in North Carolina.
