Mark Robinson Faces Campaign Resignations Over Comments

Several senior staffers from North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson's gubernatorial campaign have resigned following a CNN report alleging Robinson made disturbing posts on a pornography website over a decade ago. The posts included racist, antisemitic, and controversial comments, which Robinson has denied, calling them 'salacious tabloid lies.' Prominent Republicans, including Sen. Lindsey Graham and Sen. Tom Cotton, have expressed that Robinson must defend himself, with Graham suggesting a lawsuit against CNN if the allegations are false. Despite the controversy, Robinson has stated he will not drop out of the race. Former President Donald Trump, who previously endorsed Robinson, did not mention him at a recent rally, and some allies are urging Trump to withdraw his endorsement.
