North Carolina Republican gubernatorial nominee Mark Robinson vowed to stay in the race despite a CNN report that he posted strongly worded racial and sexual comments on an online message board.
Thursday, September 19, 2024 9:12PMNorth Carolina Republican gubernatorial nominee Mark Robinson vowed on Thursday to remain in the race despite a CNN report that he posted strongly worded racial and sexual comments on an online message board, saying he won't be forced out by "salacious tabloid lies."
The CNN report describes a series of racial and sexual comments Robinson posted on the message board of a pornography website more than a decade ago. The Associated Press has not independently confirmed that Robinson wrote and posted the messages. CNN said it matched details of the account on the pornographic website forum to other online accounts held by Robinson by comparing usernames, a known email address and his full name.
Robinson has a history of inflammatory comments that Stein had said made him too extreme to lead North Carolina. They already had contributed to the prospect that campaign struggles for Robinson would hurt former President Donald Trump to win the battleground state's 16 electoral votes, and potential other GOP downballot candidates.
The Stein campaign said in a statement after the report that "North Carolinians already know Mark Robinson is completely unfit to be Governor."
