Fri Sep 20 11:41:32 UTC 2024: ## North Carolina Gubernatorial Candidate Mark Robinson Defends Himself Amidst Explicit Comments Controversy

**Raleigh, NC** – Mark Robinson, the Republican nominee for governor of North Carolina, has refused to withdraw from the race despite intense pressure following an explosive report by CNN alleging he made inflammatory and sexually explicit comments on a pornography website’s message board over a decade ago.

According to CNN, Robinson, under the username “minisoldr,” made these comments between 2008 and 2012 on the site “Nude Africa.” The report claims he referred to himself as a “black NAZI!” and made comments about people needing to be slaves. It also reveals comments expressing a liking for transgender pornography, contradicting his public stance against transgender rights.

Robinson has vehemently denied the allegations, calling them “outrageous lies” and vowing to stay in the race. He posted a preemptive video on social media Thursday, stating, “They want to focus on salacious tabloid lies, we’re not going to let them do that. We are staying in this race. We are in it to win it.”

Sources close to the situation reveal that Robinson is facing demands from members of his own party to drop out of the race. Despite the controversy, he maintains his stance, emphasizing that many people “are counting on us to win this race.”

The allegations have sparked outrage among both supporters and critics alike, with many questioning Robinson’s fitness to lead the state. The Democratic nominee, Josh Stein, the current North Carolina Attorney General, has yet to comment publicly on the scandal.

As the race for the North Carolina governorship heats up, the public remains captivated by this unfolding controversy, with the outcome of Robinson’s campaign now uncertain.
