North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson, a Trump-supported, trans-bashing Republican gubernatorial candidate, referred to himself as a “black NAZI!” and expressed support for reinstating slavery. That’s according to CNN, which reports Robinson made the remarks over a decade ago on “Nude Africa,” a pornographic website. CNN also found Robinson called Martin Luther King Jr. “worse than a maggot,” repeatedly used antisemitic and anti-Muslim slurs, and said he enjoyed watching transgender pornography. Robinson has a long history of backing anti-transgender legislation. On Thursday, Robinson denied CNN’s report.
Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson: “Let me reassure you: The things that you will see in that story, those are not the words of Mark Robinson.”
Robinson has vowed to remain in the race.
