Mark Robinson, the Republican candidate for governor in North Carolina, is facing backlash after reports surfaced of lewd and inflammatory comments he made over a decade ago on a pornographic website. Despite these reports, Robinson has denied them and vowed to continue his campaign. The Republican party in North Carolina stood by him, while Democrats criticized him as unfit to serve as governor.
The controversial comments made by Robinson included support for bringing back slavery, recounting sexually graphic stories, expressing fondness for transgender pornography, and making negative remarks about abortion and the LGBTQ community. Robinson has faced criticism from both sides of the political spectrum, with some calling for him to drop out of the race.
Robinson, who is backed by former President Donald Trump, has struggled against his Democratic opponent, Josh Stein, in the critical battleground state of North Carolina. Despite the negative attention surrounding him, Robinson has vowed to stay in the race and continue his campaign to become governor. The outcome of the race remains uncertain, with polls showing Stein leading. Trump has praised Robinson on the campaign trail and expressed support for his candidacy.
