Several top staffers and fundraisers for Mark Robinson's gubernatorial campaign have quit, current and former campaign members said Sunday.
The North Carolina Republican Party nominee for governor is facing increased pressure and skepticism from members of his party after a recent report by CNN alleging that he made lewd, racist and pro-Hitler comments on a pornographic website's messaging board. ... Pressure had been mounting on Robinson in recent weeks, when some Republicans saw his poor polling numbers as a potential drag on Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's chances of winning North Carolina’s crucial 16 electoral votes. A WRAL News Poll in early September found the presidential race statistically tied, but Robinson trailing Democratic opponent Josh Stein by double digits.
During a visit to Wilmington on Saturday, Trump — who until recently frequently praised Robinson from the stage at rallies in the state — didn’t even mention the candidate he had endorsed and frequently compared to civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.

Apparently the account was set up with an email address Robinson is known to have used for other things. Messages were posted from it containing biographical information, the details of which fit with biographical info of Robinson.
In "fairness", Robinson needs to prove his innocence?? How does somebody prove an alibi in this case??
Robinson is done he needs to get out of the race immediately.
Democrats know repukes are ready to pile on because they don’t like that they dont own the guy. Saw this in Alabama and 2 years later, oops, guess thiar were just smears. Republicans should being getting AI to use Steins voice calling constituents the N word not trying to defend themselves against baseless smears. Trump should stay away but the rest of the teams should be fighting to win for once.
Nonsense. I heard Stein called him the N word AND wore a hoody while sleeping with a black hooker. Why is that on for him?
Lots of people keep old PCs or at least their hard drives.
He might have posted on another website at the same time something was posted on Nude Africa.
This link is posted for convenience. I do not endorse what it says:
The commentary I have seen says the comments linked to Robinson’s verified email address were posted (allegedly) something like 15 years ago, and more than a decade before he entered public life, and anyone had a reason to frame him.
Which leads me to conclude that either (1) he posted the comments, or (2) whoever framed him, by creating a false posting history, stupidly went public far too early, because there is plenty of time for Robinson to prove the allegations are false, and reap the benefit of the backlash against his opponents, for being such dirt bags.
Time will tell.
Do you know how to deal with sharks and a blood in the water frenzy.
You add more blood from one of the other sharks.
Just goes to show how firm the iron grip of the liberal media is upon our country, and even how much power the drive bys have in determining if our candidates can win or not.
It’s all here-say against Robinson, but that doesn’t matter.
Rush used to say that with Republicans, it’s the seriousness of the charge. With Democrats, its the nature of the evidence.
We’re seeing it happen in real time. Evidence schmevidehence, Robinson said nazi and we can trust CNN.
But did he say it? Who cares?
Can’t they just get 51 current and former intelligence officers to say this has all the earmarks of Russian disinformation?
Thanks for posting the article about the porn shops.
This has been all over Greensboro for about two years.
Very poor vetting on the part of the NC GOP.
