North Carolina Republicans are bracing Thursday morning as word spreads about a damning news story looming regarding Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson.
Sources with direct knowledge have spoken with Carolina Journal on the condition of anonymity and said that Robinson is under pressure from staff and members of the Trump campaign to withdraw from the governors race due to the nature of the story, which they say involves activity on adult websites in 2000s.
According to sources, Robinson has resisted withdrawing and privately denies the story.

Uhh

*grabs mic*

What the FUCK did he do that is so bad that republicans are actually pressuring him to drop out?

Republicans across the country have been 100% fine with and making excuses for every god damn thing under the sun since at least 2015.

if normal people were in charge of the GOP they would want him out because of damn near everything he has ever said

the GOP are not made up of normal people and probably want him out because of the adult video store thing

One source is saying that he posted comments calling himself a Black Nazi, among other anti-Semitic remarks
https://businessnc.com/upcoming-cnn-story-has-robinson-on-defense/

But mostly this is happening now because Trump is worried about losing NC

Also, isn't it WAY too late for him to drop out? RFK Jr. already delayed mail-in ballots with his bullshit about wanting to be on the ballot and then not wanting to be on the ballot. Early voting starts in mid-October.

Nah, I'd rather he stay in so he can drag Trump down. Too late to bail now. It's interesting how they keep getting gutter trash sociopath candidates like this guy, Roy Moore etc. They'll never for a second wonder why that is.

Tbf, the SCOTUS generally stays out of how states run elections, since the Constitution (unfortunately, IMO) gives them the sole authority to do so.

Assuming the GOP controls the legislature, they can ram something through overnight.

They mean the NC Supreme Court which already allowed RFK to take his name off the ballot, requiring the state to destroy and reprint millions of them.

It just means that the only two things that can kill a Republican politician's career is either murdering someone (in this case a female lover), or getting caught in a gay relationship.

Republicans should be forced to carry Mark Robinson to term. They chose him in the primary and it's too late to change things now.

Simple really. They either killed a hooker (dead girl) or they had a homosexual encounter (live boy).

Ahh, OK. Thanks for explaining, makes complete sense, (well, in the totally fucked up way that this would track when it comes to Repugs anyway).

Basically means being caught with a female corpse is equal to being found out you're gay.

Figuees, for Republican politicians.

That's shocking for normal people, but that seems pretty tame for a republican these days. They're probably going after him because he's black.

"Source familiar w/ forthcoming CNN story says revelations about Robinson include him saying things in online chats about liking transgender porn, peeping inside womens locker rooms while he studied at NC A&T and wanting to own slaves."

They really lead that with 'liked transgender porn' in a story about peeping on girls in locker rooms and literally wanting to own slaves?

This guy is the GOP candidate for NC governor, and he's a black Republican with the expected level of snakes in his brain.

He's a lousy enough candidate he has a good chance of losing his election, and the Trump campaign is worried he will also drag Trump down in that state.

I'm hoping for a juicer scandal than what's known so far.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Robinson_(American_politician%29

  • extreme antisemite (literally a Holocaust denier)
  • extreme anti-abortion activist despite having paid for one
  • extreme homophobe, including as his response to mass shootings against LGBT
  • doesn't think women should be able to vote
  • talked about "some folks need killing" back in June in a longwinded rant about liberals
all these and more
