Robinson Made Disturbing Comments on Porn Forum

September 19, 2024 at 3:26 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“Mark Robinson, the controversial and socially conservative Republican nominee for governor of North Carolina, made a series of inflammatory comments on a pornography website’s message board more than a decade ago, in which he referred to himself as a ‘black NAZI!’ and expressed support for reinstating slavery,” CNN reports.

“Despite a recent history of anti-transgender rhetoric, Robinson said he enjoyed watching transgender pornography, a review of archived messages found in which he also referred to himself as a ‘perv.'”

“CNN is reporting only a small portion of Robinson’s comments on the website given their graphic nature.”

But Robinson insisted he was not suspending his campaign:  “We are not getting out of this race. There are people who are counting on us to win this race.”
