This follows a bombshell report last week which found that Robinson had posted racist and sexually explicit comments online.
Embattled Republican North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson — whose gubernatorial bid has been rattled by allegations that he previously posted racist and sexually explicit comments online — was hospitalized with burns Friday, his campaign said. Mike Lonergan, a campaign spokesperson, told CBS News in a statement late Friday night that the 56-year-old Robinson was 'currently being treated for burns following an incident at a campaign event in Mt. Airy.
' Since the report's publication on Sept. 19, Robinson has seen several campaign staffers resign, including his campaign manager, general consultant and senior adviser, finance director, and deputy campaign manager. He has also appeared to lose support among the Republican leadership. Robinson has not appeared in the two North Carolina rallies Trump has held since the CNN report.
