apparently something big is about to drop about mark robinson...

[Anonymous]

and evidently he's being pressured to drop out of the race

but seriously, after all the absolutely insane stuff that's come out that hasn't led republicans to call for him to drop out - what must this be?!

and how's this going to affect nc?

How can he drop out? Will NC GOP just have no Governor candidate?

It's either a dead girl or a naked boy.

I wonder if the porn tapes he bought were something of a criminal nature, and that was supposed to be his nudge that more info was coming.

I feel like he's a drag on Trump. If he drops out and is replaced by a less horrible Republican Harris would have trouble winning the state.

Apparently CNN has the scoop, will be publishing story. Robinson has agreed to go on air at CNN to defend himself:

“I spoke to Mark this morning and he was prepared to go on CNN and defend himself against the allegations,” Jason Williams, a partner in Endgame Consulting, the agency handling Robinson’s campaign, said in a text response to a question.

Williams described the CNN story as a “hit piece.” The reported story makes explosive allegations regarding statements the national network says Robinson made on an online message board in 2009, Williams says. Robinson did not hold elected office until 2021, after his successful campaign for lieutenant governor in 2020.

“The main ones I remember were that they were alleging he made some extremely racist comments about Martin Luther King, referred to himself as a Black Nazi and used antisemitic language referring to Jews,” Williams stated in the text message.

This must be huge because normally the gop double down on their scandals or play victim instead.

But Republicans don't believe in replacing candidates. That means to them that the new candidate is illegitimate.

Trump's team are asking him to step out of the race! I bet they go public soon with their pleas.

Stay in the race, Mark!

It must be photos of him naked in bed with a dead female and a goat.

Not sure what more could be worse than his current crap.

According to the Carolina Journal, the deadline to withdraw is tonight under NC law:

Whoever had this info sat on it until the last minute and coordinated with CNN to try to place maximum pressure on him at the last minute for a switch.

I feel like if he were a serial killer or routinely hired prostitutes who he enjoyed choking, that might finally disgust Republicans enough. Might.

The Dems are doing so well at ratf#cking this cycle. Tester's oppo leaks against Sheehey have been superbly timed as well:

According to the sources, the campaign of Attorney General Josh Stein, Robinson’s opponent in the race for North Carolina’s Executive Mansion, leaked the story to CNN and local Raleigh news outlet, WRAL. It is expected to hit airwaves later on Thursday.

Also according to the anonymous source, earlier this week leaders in the Trump campaign privately told Robinson that he was not welcome at rallies for Trump or vice presidential candidate JD Vance. He was slated to speak at the Vance appearance on Wednesday, but his office announced that Robinson had tested positive for COVID.

1000% agree. There is no other reason the gop would be asking him to step down. They don’t care that he actually is a horrible human.

I think the real problem is that Kamala Harris is getting dangerously close to pulling ahead in NC. And Republicans assume Robinson is dragging Trump down. They absolutely cannot afford to lose NC.
