UA fervent Trump supporter at the heart of an intense controversy. Mark Robinson, the controversial and conservative Republican candidate for governor of North Carolina, with the support of Donald Trump, is caught up in old messages posted on a pornographic site and exhumed by CNN. According to an investigation by American television, Mark Robinson posted a series of comments before entering politics, between 2008 and 2012, in which he identified himself as a “black Nazi”. In March 2012, he notably wrote that he “preferred Hitler” to the leaders of Washington under the administration of Barack Obama.
Among the controversial posts, the Republican also expressed his support for restoring slavery. “Slavery is not bad. Some people need to be slaves. I wish he would bring it back. I would definitely buy a few,” he wrote. According to CNN, most of his comments were posted on the discussion board of the porn site “Nude Africa,” under the pseudonym “minisoldr” that he frequently used online.
Obscene messages
The comments exhumed and authenticated were also, for the most part, messages of a sexual and obscene nature, with Mark Robinson calling himself a “pervert.” According to our colleagues at CNN, the Republican wrote in particular that he had secretly “spied” on women in the showers of public gyms when he was only 14 years old. A memory that he says he still fantasizes about. “I like watching transsexual porn on girls! It’s really hot! It brings the man out while leaving the man in!” he also posted, while he is known politically for his virulent positions against transgender identity.

And it’s not something that characterizes me,” he told CNN. Then in a video published on his social networks, the Republican denounced “salacious tabloid lies” and ruled out withdrawing his candidacy in North Carolina. “We are still in the race,” he assured.
Holocaust Called a Hoax
Mark Robinson – who is aiming to become North Carolina’s first black governor against Democrat Josh Stein – has already been at the heart of controversy in the past, particularly after comments denying the Holocaust. “This nonsense that Hitler disarmed millions of Jews and then sent them to concentration camps is complete hogwash,” he said in 2018.
He has also repeatedly disparaged civil rights leader Martin Luther King, so much so that one user accused him of being a white supremacist. “I’m not in the KKK. Black people can’t join. If I was in the KKK, I would have called him Martin Lucifer Koon,” he responded, according to CNN.
Mark Robinson is also known for his strong positions against abortion. A “genocide” according to him, which consists only of “killing a child” because women have not been “responsible enough to keep [leur] “skirt down.” He eventually backtracked in 2022, revealing that his wife had already had an abortion in the 1980s.

But the 78-year-old Republican did not come to his rescue after the revelations of CNN. Questioned on this subject, a spokesperson for Donald Trump’s campaign, Karoline Leavitt, simply replied that the ex-president was certain to win in this state against his opponent, the Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.
