FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. – The North Carolina Lt. Gov., Mark Robinson, found himself embroiled in controversy following a CNN report revealing disturbing posts made on a pornography website’s message board over a decade ago. Despite this, Robinson managed to sidestep the issue during a recent gubernatorial campaign event, choosing instead to focus on important state matters.
Robinson, a prominent Republican and one of former President Donald Trump’s top surrogates in North Carolina, did not address the CNN report during his appearance at the Fayetteville Motor Speedway. Instead, he emphasized his commitment to addressing key issues facing the state.
Denying the allegations made in the report, Robinson remained resolute in his campaign efforts, vowing to work towards building a better economy and improving the lives of North Carolinians. Despite the controversy, Robinson has continued to push forward in his bid for governor.
Interestingly, former President Trump, who was also campaigning in North Carolina, did not mention Robinson during his speech, indicating a potential shift in their relationship following the recent events.
While Robinson’s inflammatory comments and past statements have drawn criticism, he remains steadfast in his quest for the governorship, facing stiff competition from Democratic nominee Josh Stein.
As the election draws closer, the race between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris remains tight, with Democrats leveraging Robinson’s controversies to underscore their campaign against the Republican candidates.
Despite the challenges, Robinson remains determined to persevere, maintaining his stance on key issues and working towards a better future for North Carolina.
