Gov. Mark Robinson, the Republican candidate for governor of North Carolina, declared on Thursday that he will continue his campaign despite unfavorable media coverage regarding his personal conduct. He is competing against Democratic Attorney General Josh Stein in the election. A CNN article released on Thursday\u2014coinciding with the deadline for candidates to withdraw from the race\u2014alleged that Robinson had made multiple posts on a pornographic website and referred to himself as a &#8220;black NAZI.&#8221; CNN&#8217;s claims were based on the assertion that the username linked to these comments from 2008 to 2012 matched one frequently used by Robinson. The report indicated that this account discussed topics such as spying on women while they showered and observing transgender individuals engaging in sexual acts with women.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, CNN attributed various other controversial remarks to this account, including anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim statements, derogatory comments about Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., and remarks endorsing slavery. Robinson has denied making these statements.<\/p>\n<p>In response to CNN&#8217;s report, Robinson posted a video message on X (formerly Twitter), stating: &#8220;I wanted to take a minute to address the latest outrageous lies coming from my opponent\u2019s dishonest campaign.&#8221; He dismissed the report as &#8220;tabloid trash&#8221; and asserted his commitment to transparency throughout his campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Robinson emphasized that he intends to stay in the race and believes he can win with support from voters. His representative, Michael Lonergan, claimed that accusations against Robinson are either blatant falsehoods or taken out of context by Democrats like Josh Stein.<\/p>\n<p>Some observers have expressed skepticism; for instance, Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene remarked that if these allegations are proven true, she would not be able to support him. Furthermore, Politico reported finding an email associated with Robinson linked to Ashley Madison\u2014a site known for facilitating extramarital affairs\u2014but there was no immediate comment from his campaign regarding this discovery<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2343630,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Mark-Robinson.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[5609,34059,6203,36091,32603],"class_list":["post-2343629","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-allegations","tag-election-2024","tag-gop","tag-mark-robinson","tag-political-news"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Mark-Robinson.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2343629","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2343629"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2343629\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2343630"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2343629"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2343629"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2343629"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
