North Carolina GOP gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson is facing significant controversy following a CNN report detailing offensive comments he allegedly made on a pornography website's message board, Nude Africa, between 2008 and 2012. The comments include Robinson referring to himself as a 'Black Nazi,' expressing support for reinstating slavery, and making sexually explicit remarks, including an affinity for transgender pornography and peeping on women. Despite the backlash and calls for him to drop out of the race, Robinson has denied making the comments and insists he will continue his campaign. Prominent figures, including former President Donald Trump, have expressed support for Robinson, with Trump comparing him to Martin Luther King Jr. on steroids.
