Top North Carolina Republicans are calling on Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson, currently running for governor in the state, to show evidence supporting his rejection of several reports linking him to an account on a pornography website that made salacious comments, including calling himself a "black NAZI."
Senators Thom Tillis and Ted Budd made the calls, with the former saying that "if the reporting on Mark Robinson is a total media fabrication, he needs to take immediate legal action." State party chair Jason Simmons, on his end, said in a statement that the accusations are "deeply troubling" and "he needs to explain them to the people of North Carolina."
