Video Emerges Of Trump Talking About Controversial NC GOP Candidate For Governor: ‘He’s An Outstanding Person’

"Mark Robinsonā€™s campaign is imploding faster than his fake 'family values' claims, and Trumpā€™s backing him just makes it even messier. Grab some popcorn, itā€™s GOP drama time!"

North Carolinaā€™s GOP is sweating bullets right now, thanks to some juicy rumors about Lt. Gov. Mark Robinsonā€™s *ahem* extracurricular internet activities. Word on the street was that Robinson, the Republican candidate for governor, has a bit of a history on adult websites. Yeah, you read that rightā€”heā€™s allegedly left some colorful comments on sites like ā€œNude Africaā€ back in the 2000s. Naturally, Robinson and his team are dodging questions harder than heā€™s dodging accountability.

In classic Trump style, he ran to his defense wasting no time to show that he sides with the worst people.

Insiders were whispering that even Trumpā€™s crew was telling Robinson to pack it up and drop out of the race before this thing blows wide open. Of course, Robinsonā€™s camp is calling it ā€œfiction,ā€ but come onā€”he just canceled two campaign events, supposedly because of a COVID diagnosis. Real subtle, Mark.

The drama doesnā€™t stop there. Apparently, Trumpā€™s team doesnā€™t want Robinson anywhere near campaign events, and folks are pointing fingers at his opponent, Josh Stein, for leaking the goods to CNN and local outlets.

Robinson mightā€™ve made history by snagging the GOP nomination, and he could be North Carolinaā€™s first Black governor, but letā€™s just say his past is messier than a reality TV reunion. Trump himself called Robinson ā€œMartin Luther King on steroidsā€ā€”but after CNNā€™s investigation, that endorsementā€™s looking pretty awkward.

CNN found Robinson, under the alias “minisoldr,” dropping some straight-up wild comments on adult websitesā€”everything from calling himself a ā€œblack NAZIā€ to saying heā€™s into transgender porn. This from a guy whoā€™s built his political career on anti-trans and ā€œfamily valuesā€ rhetoric? Itā€™s like a bad soap opera plot.

Robinson is denying it all, of course, despite CNN connecting the dots with his email and biographical details. And letā€™s just say the things he allegedly posted back in 2008-2012 make his public stance on things like abortion and transgender rights look pretty hypocritical. He even reminisced about spying on women in gym showers as a teenagerā€”yeah, thatā€™s not gonna age well.

In typical political fashion, Robinson is trying to shrug it off as ā€œtabloid trashā€ and is focusing his energy on attacking his opponent, Josh Stein. But the question remains: can he ride out this scandal, or is this the beginning of the end for his gubernatorial run? Guess weā€™ll just have to grab the popcorn and wait for the next episode.

Here’s how some responded to the posted Tweet.


It hasn’t turned out well for those who side with Trump. One comment even brought up an old favorite, remember Omarosa Manigault?


So, here we are: Mark Robinson, the GOPā€™s hopeful for North Carolina governor, is neck-deep in scandal, and itā€™s getting harder for him to swim. After all, itā€™s tough to keep that ā€œfamily valuesā€ facade when your alleged past includes online confessions about spying on women and enjoying the very things you publicly condemn. But hey, nothing says “political consistency” like raging against trans rights while secretly digging transgender porn, right?

Robinsonā€™s desperate attempts to brush this off as “tabloid trash” are about as convincing as a reality starā€™s 15th attempt at staying relevant. With Trump doubling down on his supportā€”because of course he isā€”the question is: will Robinson sink or swim? Either way, pass the popcorn; this GOP drama is just getting started.
