Well, is anyone surprised?
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.
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.”And there's more:
Robinson graphically described his own sexual arousal as an adult from the memory of secretly “peeping” on women in public gym showers as a 14-year-old. Robinson recounted the story as a memory he said he still fantasized about.Yep, today's republican alright.

Yep, today's republican alright.
To be fair, Robinson talked about “peeping” on women in public gym showers.
Most Republicans prefer young men in public bathrooms.

this kind of absolute stomping is surprising in NC, even with the past history of favoring Dem governors.polymarket would be correct even with ~70% error.
https://polymarket.com/event/north-carolina-govern...anecdotally, it seems correct that robinson has somehow 'run out of money'.
no one in my circle there recalls seeing his ads in the past ~2 weeks, but dozens of airings per day with the robinson 'people need killin' clip.
it seems his cheerleading GOP weasels smell a loser, and are backing away...forget about any funds from general GOP coffers!
funniest of all, a common addiction to pornography has led him to a new BFF

weatherman: ...it seems his cheerleading GOP weasels smell a loser, and are backing away...
Actually, most are pleading ignorance.
What's interesting is that not a single republican here has said a word.
What's even more interesting is what this tells us about the Orange Idiot and why he is so unfit for the presidency: all Robinson had to do to gain Trump's favor and endorsement was flatter Trump. Mark Robinson showed us just how easy it is for crazy or evil people to manipulate Trump with flattery. Trump didn’t care about Robinson's past embrace of Naziism, peeping, desire to own slaves, remarks that women deserved to be raped or even his current outrageous statements because Robinson repeatedly said Trump was the best president ever and the election was stolen.
If Trump's head is so easily turned by flattery from someone like Robinson, imagine how easy it is for Putin or Xi or Jong Un or Orban to do the same.
Trump admitted it on the debate stage: "Look, Viktor Orban said it. He said the most respected, most feared person is Donald Trump," Trump boasted.
Flattery, that's all it takes.
Oh, and a couple of hundred million here, $2 billion there.

robinson missed the deadline to remove his name from the NC ballot, bigly becoming a massive full-ticket net boost for Dems in this race.
now 'jointly' cancelling an appearance with jd vance, i guess covid is suddenly a real virus...or maybe just for mark.
the irony here ; weasel vance is also pulling net votes away from trump, just needs to scale up.
(vance: miami has a huge Haitian population, drop by for some chili dogs)

Yes, Mark Robinson, the Holocaust denying, Trans-porn loving, MAGA "Black Nazi" who said, "Some people need killing!"
Robinson has also said:
"Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby got railroaded by the woke mob."
And, "Women should not have the right to vote."
And, "I like watching tranny on girl porn! That’s f***ing hot! It takes the man out while leaving the man in!"
And of course Trump loves this guy:
"We have to cherish Mark. He's a star. We have to cherish him. He's like a fine wine because that's what we have, a fine wine.
He's an outstanding person. I've gotten to know him so well." ~Trump
When the Mar-a-Lago Rapist tells you to cherish someone, that's a red flag.
MAGA = ignorant and hateful and proud of it.

Something about this just kind of sums up the whole Trump/MAGA insanity, hypocrisy and stupidity.
WTF has happened to our country?
