Fox News host Jesse Watters claims to “never heard” of North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson (R) despite interviewing him earlier this year.
Watters’ attempt to distance himself from Robinson comes after CNN reported that he made several disturbing comments under the username minisoldr on ‘Nude Africa,’ a pornographic website that includes a message board.
The Trump-endorsed candidate for governor of North Carolina reportedly referred to himself as a “black NAZI!” and a “perv” because he likes to watch transgender pornography. He also expressed support for reinstating slavery, saying he “would certainly buy a few.”
Watters told his co-hosts on Fox News’ The Five that he has no idea who Robinson is when liberal co-host Jessica Tarlov brought up the story.
“We just found out an hour ago that the lieutenant governor there, Mark Robinson, who’s running for governor–”
“Never heard of him,” Watters interrupted.
Tarlov continued, “…who Donald Trump called ‘Martin Luther King Jr. on steroids,’ posted on a porn forum called ‘Nude Africa’ that he’s a ‘black NAZI,’ expressed support for reinstating slavery, and detailed his sexual arousal from memories of peeping on women in public gyms, and he still fantasizes about it.”
“He also had an Ashley Madison account,” Tarlov added referring to a website designed for married people seeking affairs.
Watters interviewed Robinson in January on his show ‘Jesse Watters Primetime’ where they discussed the possibility of former First Lady Michelle Obama running for president.
