Four key members of Mark Robinson's campaign for North Carolina governor have resigned, as announced by the campaign on Sunday. The individuals who stepped down include general consultant and senior advisor Conrad Pogorzelski III, campaign manager Chris Rodriguez, finance director Heather Whillier, and deputy campaign manager Jason Rizk.
The decision to resign follows the surfacing of inflammatory comments made by Robinson on a pornography website message board over a decade ago. The comments, which included disturbing remarks such as self-identifying as a 'black Nazi' and admitting to voyeuristic behavior as a teenager, have sparked controversy and backlash.
