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 governor’s race due to the nature of the story, which they say involves activity on adult websites in 2000s.

This is the super crazy religious guy endorsed by Trump. Hypocrites as always.

    When republicans, especially Trump, are pressuring you to step down, you know you fucked up.

    The article doesn’t specify, but what kind of ‘activity on adult websites’ is damaging to the point that a candidate would be pressed to drop out?

      There’s another post with quotes. He said he’s “a black Nazi” and would join the KKK if they’d let black people in. Also, slavery should be brought back and that he’d buy a few.

          Let’s also not forget that this is the guy who argued that “some folks need killing” and seemed to be saying that this was a reasonable (perhaps even necessary) response to people getting “cancelled” and social media banning people for the things they say.

    Don’t listen to those weak-kneed pencil-pushers, Mark! Stay in the race. You’re helping deliver the Governor’s mansion to Josh Stein and hopefully NC’s electoral votes to Harris-Walz!
