The North Carolina gubernatorial race is making headlines because of a report involving Mark Robinson. Though the Republican nominee has denied rumors that he’s dropping out of the race, voters are still unsure. With a history of socially conservative rhetoric, the report about Robinson shocked many of his supporters due to the content of the alleged posts he made more than a decade ago.
What Did Mark Robinson Do?
According to CNN, Robinson posted multiple graphic sexual and racist comments on a porn website called “Nude Africa” between 2008 and 2012. The outlet reported that he went by the username “minisoldr” on the platform. Robinson denied ever sharing the comments to the site.
“This is not us. These are not our words,” Robinson said in response to the report. “And this is not anything that is characteristic of me. … I’m not going to get into the minutia of how somebody manufactured this, these salacious tabloid lies.”
The outlet reported that Robinson previously called himself a “black NAZI” on the porn website, and he allegedly noted that he wasn’t against slavery.
“Slavery is not bad,” Robinson allegedly wrote, per CNN. “Some people need to be slaves. I wish they would bring it [slavery] back. I would certainly buy a few.”
