Democrat Crushes 'Black Nazi' Robinson In North Carolina Governor's Race

Democrat Crushes 'Black Nazi' Robinson In North Carolina Governor's Race

Republican Mark Robinson, a reportedly self-described “Black Nazi” and “perv,” handily lost his bid for governor of North Carolina on Tuesday night, giving him ample time to go back to doing what he allegedly loves: posting racist and creepy stuff on a forum for a porn site.

Robinson lost to North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein, 58.1 percent to 37.8 percent, with 11 percent of precincts reporting, according to NBC News, which called the race less than an hour after polls closed.

Stein, who makes history as the state’s first Jewish governor, had a strong lead in the polling thanks to Robinson’s long history of making racist, sexist, and other incendiary remarks.

The Republican has denied the atrocities of the Holocaust, falsely saying, “This foolishness about Hitler disarming MILLIONS of Jews and then marching them off to concentration camps is a bunch of hogwash.”

Robinson also called for “wicked people” and socialists to be killed, saying in a speech ironically delivered at a church where parishioners are taught that murder is a sin, “Some folks need killing!

However, the race was all but over in September, when CNN reported that Robinson had posted repulsive things on a porn website called Nude Africa.

Some of the horrific things he allegedly wrote include:

  • An assertion that he is a self-proclaimed “black NAZI!” and that “Slavery is not bad.”
  • Attacks on civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr., whom Robinson called a “commie bastard,” “worse than a maggot,” a “phony,” and a “huckster.”
  • Robinson also said the only reason he wasn’t in the KKK was because it doesn’t “let blacks join,” and added of King, “If I was in the KKK I would have called him Martin Lucifer K--n!”
  • And a number of sexually explicit posts culminating in Robsinson calling himself a “perv.”

Republicans hoped they could get Robinson out of the race after the gross comments surfaced, but Robinson dug in his heels, denied the report, and stayed in the race, dooming the GOP’s chances at victory.

Revelations of the vile posts led Robinson’s campaign team to flee en masse, despite that his open Holocaust denial wasn’t too far for them.

Prior to the CNN report, Donald Trump had praised Robinson as “better than Martin Luther King,” but after it, he stopped inviting Robinson to his North Carolina rallies.

Scandal-Scarred Robinson Embraced By Mike Flynn At Trump Event

North Carolina Republican gubernatorial nominee Mark Robinson recently spoke on the Trump-backed “ReAwaken America” tour, where he compared fighting the news media to battling Nazis at Normandy Beach. His speech was well-received by Trump ally and ReAwaken America co-organizer Mike Flynn, who asked the audience to donate to Robinson’s campaign.

Robinson’s rhetoric echoes that of former President Donald Trump, who has referred to the news media as the “enemy of the American people.” Trump has also explicitly threatened to use government resources to target news organizations.

Robinson has a long history of toxic remarks and antisemitic rhetoric on social media from his time as a right-wing commentator. Conservative media figures including Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump have supported his campaign.

Last month, CNN reported that Robinson made a “series of inflammatory comments on a pornography website’s message board more than a decade ago, in which he referred to himself as a 'black NAZI!' and expressed support for reinstating slavery.” Robinson responded by suing CNN.

Despite Donald Trump’s connections to Robinson, including endorsing his campaign, the former president has recently feigned ignorance of Robinson. But this past weekend, in a seemingly unannounced and little-noticed appearance, Robinson spoke at the ReAwaken America tour’s stop in Selma, North Carolina, alongside members of Trump’s “inner circle.”

The event featured speeches from Trump surrogates Eric Trump, Kash Patel, and Alina Habba, along with several extremists who have pushed the conspiracy theory that Hurricane Helene was a controlled or manipulated weather event. (ReAwaken America events have also hosted multiple antisemitic speakers.) Other stops on the tour have been held at a Trump property.

Co-organizer Clay Clark recently said that close friend Eric Trump and others requested the event because North Carolina “is a state that we need to win to restore President Donald J. Trump back into the White House.” Clark also organized Donald Trump’s October 21 event with pastors.

Robinson appeared on the second day of the Selma event on October 19. During his speech, Robinson told the audience about Allied forces fighting Nazi Germany during World War II, including at the Battle of Normandy. He then compared his “fight” against the news media to the D-Day landings by American troops, stating:

MARK ROBINSON: I guarantee you, CNN will not win that fight. They will not. Because we're going to take them to task, folks. It's high time that we stop being afraid of the news media. High time. Those boys in those Higgins boats weren't afraid of those Germans. Why in the hell should I be afraid of CNN?

Following the speech, Clark said that Robinson is “a real American hero.” Flynn, who is a potential member of Trump’s second administration, also praised Robinson, saying that “we need him in the governor's office,” and encouraged people to donate to his campaign to combat the “demons” fighting against them.

Robinson: 'I've Had Great Conversations' With Trump Despite Scandal

Embattled North Carolina gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson recently appeared on Trump ally Sebastian Gorka’s program, where he received glowing praise and support from the former White House adviser.

Robinson told the MAGA host that while he’s giving “space” to the former president, “We've spoken to him, had great conversations with him.”

CNN's Andrew Kaczynski and Em Steck reported last week that Robinson made a “series of inflammatory comments on a pornography website’s message board more than a decade ago, in which he referred to himself as a 'black NAZI!' and expressed support for reinstating slavery.” (Robinson, who was previously a right-wing commentator, has a long history of toxic remarks.) Prior to that report, numerous conservative media figures, including Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, Dan Bongingo, Charlie Kirk, and Gorka had lavished praise on Robinson.

The Trump campaign has repeatedly cited Gorka, a radio host and Newsmax commentator. Trump has done interviews with the MAGA loyalist and said that Gorka is “fantastic” and there’s “so much to be learned from Sebastian.”

Gorka invited Robinson on the September 25 edition of his Salem Radio Network program to defend himself and to reaffirm his support for the North Carolina lieutenant governor.

During the interview, Gorka told him: “CNN is not a news agency, and I hope you sue them into the ground. … I hope you win. I hope you win the campaign.”

He later added: “I've seen it before, so many, many times. When they can't beat you in a fair fight, they go dirty and they go dark.” He also promoted Robinson’s campaign website.

Robinson told the Trump ally during the interview that the CNN report was false and “so much of what we see the news media doing right now is — it's shades of Soviet Russia. It's the show trials. It's the propaganda.”

He was also asked about the relationship between him and Trump. Robinson said that he doesn’t want to “draw fire to any other candidate,” including Trump, and then said he’s given him “space.”

Robinson then added, in an apparent attempt to reassure the pro-MAGA Gorka that he’s still part of the Republican team: “We've spoken to him, had great conversations with him, but we have chosen to do that. And — because we want to make sure that he wins this state.”

Fellow Newsmax commentator Greg Kelly has also been strongly defending Robinson. And Fox News has been burying the story while host Sean Hannity has been doing cleanup for Trump.*

'Trump Looks Bad' As He Pretends Ignorance Of Mark Robinson Scandal

'Trump Looks Bad' As He Pretends Ignorance Of Mark Robinson Scandal

When a reporter asked Donald Trump Thursday whether or not he plans to take back his endorsement for North Carolina GOP gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson, the ex-president replied: "Uhh I don’t know the situation."

Robinson came under fire last week after CNN reported that the MAGA candidate posted racially and sexually offensive comments on a pornography website's message board, and referred to himself as a "Black Nazi."

Several political experts and journalists were quick to put Trump — who endorsed Robinson earlier this year — on blast for his response.

Democratic strategist Keith Edwards replied: "How did he know there was a situation to not know about"

Politcal analyst and Vanity Fair special correspondent Molly Jong Fast said: "He doesn’t know the situation with Mark Robinson? NOT POSSIBLE"

MSNBC's Katie Phang replied: "In this video, Trump is either: (1) Lying about the Mark Robinson scandal. OR (2) Oblivious about the Mark Robinson scandal. Either way, Trump looks bad."

Mississippi Free Press news editor Ashton Pittman wrote: "It's funny seeing Mark Robinson put Trump in the same position he's been putting congressional Republicans in for 9 years now: 'I don't know, I haven't seen anything about it.'"

CNN senior reporter Edward Isaac-Dovere added: "Trump, who spends quite a bit of time paying attention to what’s popping online and on TV, has apparently managed to avoid hearing about the Mark Robinson 'situation'"
