Republican candidate’s ‘black Nazi’ posts on porn site could spell trouble for Trump

Mark Robinson, the Republican candidate for governor in North Carolina, vowed to stay in the race shortly before CNN published a report detailing offensive comments allegedly made by Robinson in online porn forums.

The report links emails and other biographical details between Robinson and the username that posted remarks about transgender sex, watching young women shower and claiming to be a “Black Nazi!”

Shortly before the CNN report was published, Robinson posted a video on X promising to stay in the race.

“They want to focus on salacious tabloid lies,” Robinson said in a recorded video message, referring to his Democratic opponent and the news media. “Let me reassure you, the things that you will see in that story, those are not the words of Mark Robinson.”

The North Carolina Republican Party stood by Robinson, saying Democrats were resorting to a smear campaign because they were losing on policy.
