Robinson, who is endorsed by former President Donald Trump, has trailed in several polls in the governor’s race.
North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson speaks during a press conference in Raleigh on Tuesday, March 16, 2021. Some North Carolina Republicans are bracing for the aftermath of news that broke Thursday about Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, their party’s candidate for governor. And one Republican candidate for state Senate is publicly calling for Robinson to end his campaign and for another GOP candidate to replace him.
In the video statement released on X, formerly Twitter, Robinson also described the allegations as “salacious tabloid lies” and accused his Democratic opponent’s campaign of leaking the information that led to the forthcoming CNN story. Robinson was not at Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance’s event in Raleigh on Wednesday.
A Republican candidate for the General Assembly has “issued a public call to action in response to the most recent scandal” about Robinson. “Wrong is still wrong, and if the recent allegations against Robinson are true, combined with his previous public rhetoric, I believe it’s time for him to step aside. North Carolinians deserve a viable choice in this election.”Lassiter previously sued Republican House Speaker Tim Moore over a relationship Moore had with Lassiter’s former wife. The lawsuit was later settled out of court.
