A bombshell CNN report published Thursday identifies Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson (R-NC) as the person behind an account on an online pornographic message board that posted both racist and sexually explicit messages more than a decade ago, including a post about peeping on showering women as a teen.

CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski and Em Steck reported on their revelations in a story Thursday afternoon, which became widely anticipated earlier in the day amid reports that it was in the works. Robinson, the Republican nominee for governor in the Tar Heel State, denies all allegations.

Kaczynski and Steck identify Robinson as the owner of an account that went or goes by “minisoldr” on a pornographic website called Nude Africa. On message boards between 2008 and 2012 on Nude Africa, “minisoldr” posted sexually themed messages, including a liking for transgender porn and the memory of peeping on a women’s locker room.

“I like watching tranny on girl porn! That’s f*cking hot! It takes the man out while leaving the man in!” minisoldr wrote on one occasion. “And yeah I’m a ‘perv’ too!”

The account user, who listed his full name as Mark Robinson, also reminisced about watching women shower in a public gym when he was 14 years old.

“I came to a spot that was a dead end but had two big vent covers over it! It just so happened it overlooked the showers! I sat there for about an hour and watched as several girls came in and showered,” the user wrote on Nude Africa, adding that he attempted to do it again the next day but was unsuccessful.

Robinson also allegedly made comments endorsing Adolf Hitler, touted he was a “Black Nazi!” and that he wished slavery was back, adding he would buy slaves if it were.

According to CNN, a number of personal accounts belonging to Robinson through the years on non-salacious websites Twitter, YouTube, Disqus, Pinterest, and BlackPlanet were under the handle or alias “minisoldr,” the same alias he allegedly used on Nude Africa.

CNN confirms the email on the Nude Africa website to which “minisoldr” was or is registered is the same email that registered Robinson’s Disqus account. Robinson also used identical phrases in posts on his accounts that minisoldr has used on Nude Africa, and they share similar interests.

In a video posted to X shortly before CNN published the story, Robinson denied all allegations.

“Guys, the news media is at it again. My opponent is at it again. You all have seen the half-truths and outright lies of Josh Stein on these ads over and over again. Now, a story, leaked by him to CNN, is appearing now,” he said.

“Let me reassure you, the things that you will see in that story, those are not the words of Mark Robinson. You know my words. You know my character, and you know that I have been completely transparent in this race and before,” he added.

Robinson added that the report amounts to “salacious tabloid trash.”

Yet another fantastic endorsement by Donald.  MLK on steroids, I believe this guy was? 

It would be fitting if Trump won the rust belt and then lost AZ, GA, and NC because of the stuff he has done in those places.

Going to say something that will be uncomfortable to many, but it needs to be said and is 100% true.

Establishment Republicans merc'ed Mark Robinson.

Only the base is comfortable with a black man leading the state. GOPers pretend, but in reality that prospect terrifies them.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Because just this once, pinky swear, cross my heart, CNN is telling the truth?

There would have to be some serious looking at those accounts the claims were made about.
And who/when etc. set them up.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The second greatest evil in this world is when one holds another to a standard which they themselves don't follow.  But the greatest evil is when the other person allows them to do it.

The party that gave us men in women's bathrooms, an explosion in child sex trafficking, and taxpayer funded sex change operations for minors without their parents' consent is now going to retroactively hold us hostage to a standard about what was posted on porn bulletin boards over a decade ago?

Today was the last day to withdraw, and the state GOP is supporting Robinson.  We saw what Doug Mastriano did to the party in Pennsylvania.  It’s going to take a whole lot of crossover voting for other pubs to win in NC.

Well, that just handed NC to the dems.  CNN takes care of business for its team.

It should be pointed out that Robinson received more primary votes than all the Democrats combined.  His defeat is not a foregone conclusion.

If Robinson was a Democrat this behavior would give him "street cred" beyond measure. But unfortunately for him, he represents the party that is supposed to hold people to a higher standard. The evidence seems pretty overwhelming. They obviously held onto this information until now because of the deadline to withdraw. Damned shrewd, these Dem devils.

.

The Democratic National Committee announced a new crop of billboard ads linking former President Donald Trump to controversial North Carolina Republican Mark Robinson, less than one day after CNN published a bombshell report about the gubernatorial candidate’s past comment on pornographic websites.

The billboards feature the two men smiling beside one another, along with captions of Trump’s past praise of Robinson.

They will be placed in several North Carolina cities, including Raleigh, Charlotte, and Greensboro before Trump holds a rally in Wilmington Saturday afternoon.

Democrats see path to N.C. victory following Robinson bombshell
Avery Lotz

Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman (D) described the scandal-embroiled North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson as the "new dream candidate" to run against.

Why it matters: North Carolina has not flipped blue since 2008. But former President Trump's campaign is concerned that the streak of scandals and incendiary rhetoric from the Republican nominee for governor could hurt Trump's prospects in the key swing state.

    Team Trump is working to distance the former president from Robinson, whom Trump once described as "Martin Luther King on steroids," after CNN reported the gubernatorial candidate referred to himself as a "black NAZI!" and a "perv" on a porn site's messaging board and expressed support for reinstating slavery.
    Robinson has denied the allegations and vowed to stay in the race against North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein, a Democrat.

.

Four staff members of Mark Robinson‘s campaign resigned on Sunday, just days after a report alleged the North Carolina gubernatorial nominee used racist, antisemitic, and homophobic slurs in posts on a pornographic forum.

In an email, the Robinson campaign announced that Conrad Pogorzelski, senior adviser; Chris Rodriguez, campaign manager; Heather Whillier, finance director; and Jason Rizk, deputy campaign manager, have stepped down from their roles. The email noted that new campaign staff members will be announced “in the coming days.”

If the Pubbies want to win in NC, then they'd better replace this guy, and do it quickly.

Otherwise... they lose.

(one look at him told me he wasn't the guy I'd want to be governor over me...)

Not a single news network has independently verified the accusations against Robinson. Yet they are all running with the story. This is called journalistic malfeasance.

Now if news reports cannot prove this was Mark Robinson, could he have a defamation lawsuit? Onus should be on them to prove it.

The whole thing is kinda nasty so I'm just gonna leave it at what Graham said.
