Four of Mark Robinson's top staffers resigned over the weekend, amid backlash for past comments he made. Mark McKinnon and Maria Urbina join.
If North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson hoped that last week’s allegations would be a one-day story, the right-wing Republican has since learned otherwise. Indeed, while it was a devastating CNN report that sparked the gubernatorial candidate’s latest scandal, similar reports soon followed. Politico, for example, published a report alleging that an email address belonging to Robinson “was registered on Ashley Madison, a website designed for married people seeking affairs.
Around the same time, two Republican governors — Georgia’s Brian Kemp and Tennessee’s Bill Lee — announced that they’re withdrawing their earlier Robinson endorsements. In case that weren’t quite enough, the Republican Governors Association said in a statement that its pro-Robinson ads are poised to expire — and “no further placements have been made.” But the gubernatorial candidate can take some comfort in the fact that Donald Trump and JD Vance haven’t yet abandoned him.
