Embattled N.C. Lt. Gov. Robinson: Still Running for Governor

North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, a Republican, said Thursday he is not withdrawing from the gubernatorial race after there were calls for him to step down following a CNN report that he made inflammatory comments on a pornography website between 2008 and 2012, before he entered politics.

“We are staying in this race. We are in it to win it,” Robinson, the Republican nominee for governor, said in a video posted on X. “And we know that with your help, we will.”

CNN reported Thursday that Robinson referred to himself as a “black NAZI!” and expressed support for reinstating slavery on the pornography website Nude Africa.
