Robinson under pressure to withdraw from gubernatorial race

NORTH CAROLINA LIEUTENANT Gov. Mark Robinson, the Republican Party’s controversial candidate for governor, is under new scrutiny for several admissions he appears to have made on a message board for the porn site called “Nude Africa” before his political career began. CNN reported on Thursday Robinson referred to himself as a “black NAZI!” on the site, where he also expressed support for reviving slavery, and admitted to enjoying porn featuring trans performers.

Robinson has argued against allowing trans people to use the bathroom of their gender identity, reasoning that women need to be “protected” from men who would take advantage of such facilities. But on Nude Africa, Robinson fondly recalled sneaking as teen into a spot in a public gym where he could watch women shower. “Ahhhhh memories!!!!” he wrote.

As a Republican candidate for governor, Robinson has repeatedly compared abortion to murder; online he shrugged at the news of a celebrity’s abortion, writing, “I don’t care. I just wanna see the sex tape!”
