North Carolina Republican admits lying about racist online posts to shield Trump
TL;DR
Former North Carolina lieutenant governor Mark Robinson admitted he misled voters during his 2024 gubernatorial bid by denying racist and offensive comments on a porn site, saying he did so to protect Donald Trump. CNN and The Washington Post reported he posted under a pseudonym and made racist, antisemitic, and pro-Nazi remarks, including praising Mein Kampf. The NC governor race was won by Democrat Josh Stein, and Trump distanced himself from Robinson; Robinson also acknowledged an obsession with pornography and said he would make the same decision again to shield others, including the president.
