Mark Robinson, North Carolina's lieutenant governor and Republican gubernatorial nominee, is facing backlash following revelations of disturbing posts he made on a pornography message board, where he referred to himself as a 'black NAZI' and expressed support for reinstating slavery. These comments, dating from 2008 to 2012, were uncovered by CNN and include Robinson's admissions of enjoying transgender pornography and reminiscing about watching women in gym showers as a teen. Despite the controversy, Robinson has denied the allegations, labeling them as 'salacious trash' and insists he will not withdraw from the race against Democrat Josh Stein. The GOP is reportedly under pressure to have him step down as Robinson's poll numbers lag behind Stein's. Robinson's history of incendiary remarks about minority groups and women adds to the scrutiny he faces, especially given that a win would grant Republicans significant control in a crucial battleground state. This controversy comes amid an already tight race, with some polls indicating Stein is currently leading.
