North Carolina’s Republican gubernatorial nominee, Mark Robinson, referred to himself as a “black NAZI!” and a “perv” on a pornography website’s message board, according to a new CNN report.
Robinson, who is endorsed by Donald Trump, made the comments between 2008 and 2012 under the username minisoldr on “Nude Africa,” a pornographic website that includes a message board.
In the messages Robinson— who has a history of anti-transgender rhetoric—referred to himself as a “perv” because he likes to watch transgender pornography.
“I like watching tranny on girl porn! That’s f*cking hot! It takes the man out while leaving the man in!” he said.
Robinson, North Carolina’s first Black lieutenant governor, also referred to himself as a “black Nazi” and expressed support for reinstating slavery, according to CNN.
“Slavery is not bad. Some people need to be slaves. I wish they would bring it (slavery) back. I would certainly buy a few,” he wrote.
Robinson also wrote that he would “take Hitler over any of the sh*t that’s in Washington right now!” in March 2012 when Barack Obama was president.
Robinson repeatedly denied to CNN that he made the comments on Nude Africa.
“This is not us. These are not our words. And this is not anything that is characteristic of me,” Robinson said.
“I’m not going to get into the minutia of how somebody manufactured this, these salacious tabloid lies,” he added when presented with evidence linking him to the account.
Trump endorsed Robinson at a rally in March this year, calling the lieutenant governor “Martin Luther King [Jr.] on steroids,” “better than Martin Luther King,” and even “Martin Luther King times two.”
CNN also reported that Robinson disparaged the late civil rights icon in Nude Africa message boards,calling him a “commie bastard,” “worse than a maggot,” a “ho f**king, phony,” and a “huckster.”
Before the story was published Thursday The Carolina Journal, reported that Robinson is being pressured by staff and members of the Trump campaign to withdraw from the gubernatorial race over the story which the former president campaign says “involves activity on adult websites in 2000s.”
Robinson responded to the story before it was published vowing to stay in the race and dismissing the allegations as “salacious tabloid lies” and a “high-tech lynching” in a video posted to X.
“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 said.
The Carolina Journal noted that Thursday evening is the state deadline to withdraw from the race, though the deadline to remove Robinson’s name from the ballot already has passed.
