Mark Robinson, the Republican nominee for governor in North Carolina, has declared his intention to remain in the race despite facing allegations of posting racially and sexually charged comments on an online message board. Robinson, who currently serves as the lieutenant governor, emphasized his commitment to the campaign in a video posted on social media, asserting that he will not be swayed by what he referred to as 'salacious tabloid lies.'
The controversy stems from a CNN report detailing inflammatory remarks attributed to Robinson on a pornography website's message board over a decade ago. The report alleges that Robinson made derogatory comments about civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., referred to himself as a 'black NAZI,' and shared explicit content related to transgender individuals.
