The Republican candidate also attacked Martin Luther King Jr., calling the civil rights icon “worse than a maggot.”

Mark Robinson, who was endorsed in March by Donald Trump in the race for governor of North Carolina, said he supported slavery, called himself a “black NAZI,” and graphically described “peeping” on women in public gym showers on a porn forum called “Nude Africa,” CNN KFile reported Thursday.

The comments were reportedly made “under the username minisoldr, a moniker Robinson used frequently online.” CNN said it determined the username belonged to the gubernatorial candidate “by matching a litany of biographical details and a shared email address between the two.”

      That’s a pretty ridiculous over the top generalization. Half of the US is not Nazis, lol. This is not a country where 170 million Nazis live.

      I mean, unless of course you dilute the definition of “Nazi” so much that it becomes completely meaningless.

        lol. Your comment would be perfectly appropriate and ignorant in 1938 Germany. I’m sure many Germans didn’t consider themselves Nazis yet were complicit in Nazi actions and crimes. Voting for Trump/Robinson and project 2025 is no different and definitely not “meaningless”.

          Please realize that ridiculous exaggeration and generalization like this has literally zero benefit, and only makes it that much harder to shift voters toward blue.

        The political equivalent of the Republican party in Germany is the AfD, rated as a Nazi party and observed by the government agencies because they are a threat to democracy. I would even say that the GOP is actually right of the AfD.

        Yes, this implies that nearly half the US votes for Nazis. Yes, they do.
