Mark Slevin writes about how revelations about past social-media posts have upended the campaign of Mark Robinson, the Republican who is running for governor in North Carolina, and threaten Donald Trump’s chances of winning the state.
That was then. Robinson is now in trouble, following CNN’s disclosure, last Thursday, of comments posted more than a decade ago on a pornography site called Nude Africa, in which he reportedly made lewd sexual comments, called himself a “black NAZI,” belittled Martin Luther King, Jr., and spoke up for slavery. Trump was in North Carolina again on Saturday, for a rally at the Wilmington airport. But this time Robinson, who is currently the state’s lieutenant governor, wasn’t there.
How can this trash, that was only created to pull the shekels out of your Schvartze pockets, invoke any pride?” Roy Cooper, North Carolina’s twice-elected Democratic governor, who was often mentioned as a possible running mate for Kamala Harris, told reporters that the CNN revelations were hardly surprising. “There’s not a whole lot new here about Mark Robinson’s character,” Cooper, who won in 2016 and 2020, when Trump was also on the ballot, said.
