North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson, the Republican nominee for governor, has vowed to remain in the race despite a CNN report revealing inflammatory comments he allegedly made on a pornographic message board over a decade ago. The comments included Robinson referring to himself as a 'black NAZI' and expressing support for reinstating slavery. Robinson has denied the claims, labeling them as 'salacious tabloid lies' and asserting that they do not reflect his character. He is currently trailing Democratic candidate Josh Stein in the polls, with Stein leading by an average of 11 points. Despite the controversy, Robinson has emphasized his commitment to the campaign, stating, 'We are in it to win it.' The authenticity of the posts has not been independently verified, but CNN matched details to Robinson's known online identities.
