Mark Robinson, NC GOP nominee for governor, called himself a 'black NAZI!,' supported slavery in past comments made on porn forum
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, a CNN KFile investigation found.
The comments, which Robinson denies making, predate his entry into politics and current stint as North Carolina's lieutenant governor.
Campaigning for lieutenant governor in 2020, Robinson advocated for a complete abortion ban without exceptions.
Robinson, who would become North Carolina's first Black governor if elected, also repeatedly maligned civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., attacking him in such intense terms that a user accused him of being a white supremacist.
Despite earning the full endorsement of former President Donald Trump and the North Carolina Republican Party, Robinson faces an uphill battle in the race for governor against Stein.
Writing in a forum discussing Black Republicans in October 2010, Robinson stated unprovoked: "I'm a black NAZI!".
In a series of seven posts in October 2011, Robinson disparaged Martin Luther King in such intense terms, calling him a "Commie bastard," "Worse than a maggot," a "Ho f**king, phony," and a "Huckster," that a user in the thread accused him of being in the KKK. Robinson responded by directing a slur at King.
