NC Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson Hospitalized, Faces Controversies

North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson was hospitalized after sustaining second-degree burns at a campaign event in Mount Airy. Despite the injury, Robinson is in good spirits and plans to resume his campaign activities. The incident comes amid controversies surrounding Robinson, including a CNN report alleging he made explicit racial and sexual comments on a pornography website years ago, which he denies. The fallout from the report has led to several top staff resignations from his campaign. Robinson is currently running for governor against Democratic nominee Josh Stein, following current Gov. Roy Cooper's term limit. The incident and controversies have cast a shadow over his campaign, with mounting pressure from within his party to possibly reconsider his candidacy.
