Mark Robinson's Offensive Online Posts Revealed

North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson is facing backlash following the removal of inflammatory posts he allegedly made on the pornographic site Nude Africa, revealed in a CNN investigation. The posts, made between 2008 and 2012, included disturbing comments where Robinson referred to himself as a 'black Nazi' and expressed support for slavery, alongside admitting to watching transgender pornography. Robinson, the Republican nominee for governor, has denied authorship of the posts, labeling the reports as 'salacious tabloid lies' while prominent Republicans have called for him to prove he did not make the comments. The controversy poses a significant threat to his campaign against Democrat Josh Stein, especially with early voting approaching. Despite pressure to withdraw from the race, Robinson has vowed to continue his candidacy. His absence from a scheduled rally with Donald Trump further complicates his campaign amid these allegations.
