Mark Robinson Hospitalized After Campaign Accident

North Carolina gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson was hospitalized for second-degree burns following an accident at the Mayberry Truck Show during a campaign event. His campaign spokesperson confirmed that he is in good spirits and plans to return to campaigning soon. The incident comes amidst controversy surrounding Robinson, who has faced backlash for past racist and offensive comments revealed in a recent CNN report, including self-identifying as a 'Black Nazi' and expressing support for slavery. Many Republicans, including former President Donald Trump, have distanced themselves from Robinson, with reports of staff resignations from his campaign. Despite the controversies, Robinson has chosen to continue his gubernatorial campaign against Democratic nominee Josh Stein. The event took place in Mount Airy, known for its association with The Andy Griffith Show, which has historical significance in the region.
