Social Media Reacts To CNN's Exposé On NC Republican Mark Robinson
HuffPost
The GOP gubernatorial candidate allegedly called himself a "black NAZI" and said he liked transgender porn years ago, despite his recent anti-trans rhetoric.
A bombshell CNN report on North Carolina GOP gubernatorial nominee Mark Robinson definitely caused a buzz on social media Thursday afternoon.
Shortly before the outlet’s story was released, Robinson attempted to do damage control by saying, “The things that you will see in that story, those are not the words of Mark Robinson.”
Robinson, currently his state’s lieutenant governor, also said he would not drop out of the gubernatorial race, in which he currently trails Democratic rival Josh Stein, who polls at around 49% to Robinson’s roughly 40%, according to RealClearPolitics.
CNN’s story accused Robinson of posting repeatedly on a porn website’s message board between 2008 and 2012, with Robinson allegedly describing himself as a “black NAZI” and advocating for the return of slavery.
In other posts, Robinson allegedly said he liked watching transgender pornography, despite making anti-trans comments while running for office.
