Mark Robinson's Chief of Staff Resigns Amid Allegations

North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson has faced a wave of resignations from both his state office and gubernatorial campaign following a CNN report alleging he made inflammatory racial and sexual comments on a pornography website's message board. Chief of Staff Brian LiVecchi and other key staffers have announced their departures, exacerbating the turmoil within Robinson's team. In response, Robinson has promoted Krishana Polite to Chief of Staff and hired a law firm to investigate the claims, which he vehemently denies. The Republican Governors Association has withdrawn support, and several GOP figures have distanced themselves from Robinson. Despite the setbacks, Robinson remains optimistic about his election chances and is focused on rebuilding his team.
