Republican Mark Robinson’s campaign for governor in North Carolina has been rocked by a CNN report that he posted racist and explicit messages on a pornography web site

North Carolina Lt. Governor Mark Robinson has been hospitalized following an incident at a campaign event in Mount Airy, where he reportedly left “quickly” before being taken for treatment of burns. According to sources, he is in good spirits as he receives care.

Robinson, a Republican, is currently campaigning for governor in North Carolina, a position he seeks as Democrat Roy Cooper is term-limited from running again in 2024. However, his campaign has recently been marred by a CNN report detailing past racist and explicit messages he allegedly posted on a pornography website more than a decade ago. This revelation has raised concerns among some in his party about its potential impact on Donald Trump’s influence in North Carolina, a pivotal state for the upcoming presidential election.

Robinson’s political ascent began in 2018 when he gained notoriety for his passionate defense of gun rights during a Greensboro City Council meeting. His statement against the council’s decision to cancel a gun show in the wake of a tragic school shooting resonated with many, propelling him into the public eye. He transitioned from his job in furniture manufacturing to a career in public speaking, addressing conservative groups like the National Rifle Association.

In 2020, Robinson won the lieutenant governor’s office in his first campaign and quickly positioned himself as a leading candidate for the governorship. Known for his outspoken views on social issues, Robinson has sparked controversy with comments on abortion and LGBTQ+ rights, leading some Republican strategists to worry about his electability in a general election. Despite these concerns, Robinson received strong support from Republican voters, winning his primary with an endorsement from Trump, who compared him to civil rights icon Martin Luther King, Jr.

As Robinson continues to navigate his campaign amidst these developments, his ability to resonate with voters and address the challenges ahead remains to be seen.
