Democrats are trying to tie Republican candidates up and down the ballot to Robinson after Thursday’s CNN report.

The former president will reportedly not have Robinson with him on Saturday, Sept. 21, at a rally in Wilmington, N.C.

After a media frenzy over a CNN report claiming Mark Robinson called himself a 'black Nazi,' the Lt. Gov. says he will stay in NC governor race.

North Carolina is critical to Trump’s paths to victory, and polls showed him even with Harris there even before scandal enveloped the GOP gubernatorial nominee.

Shortly after 3pm on Thursday, a story by CNN alleged that Mark Robinson described himself as a “black Nazi” on the amateur black erotic website “Nude Africa”. In the posts, it is claimed that he revealed his love of pornography featuring transgender actors and said: “Slavery is not bad.

Antonia Hylton, NBC News Correspondent and Tim Miller, former RNC spokesperson join Alicia Menendez in for Nicolle Wallace on Deadline White House with continued reaction to the fallout from the latest scandal involving North Carolina Lt Governor Mark Robinson and the signs that the Trump campaign and the North Carolina GOP are sticking by him as their candidate.

The former president was an early backer of Mr. Robinson’s bid to become governor of North Carolina, a race that was jolted when CNN reported that Mr. Robinson had made disturbing posts online.

Mark Robinson, a member of the Republican Party running for governor in the 2024 N.C. gubernational election, is currently under fire for controversial comments he left on a pornographic website predating his political career.

Donald Trump is facing calls from his allies and staff to pull his endorsement from scandal-plagued Mark Robinson in North Carolina, according to four people familiar with the discussions.
