Mark Robinson’s top campaign staff in NC governor’s race resign

[Magnus]

Multiple people leading Republican Mark Robinson’s gubernatorial campaign staff have resigned following a CNN report about vulgar and racist posts made years ago on a pornography website. Robinson, North Carolina’s lieutenant governor, denies the allegations. His campaign announced the departures in a news release Sunday evening.

Former President Donald Trump has endorsed Robinson and publicly supported him at events, plus invited him to visit his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida in December.

But the fallout from Thursday’s CNN story was almost immediate, with fellow Republicans calling for Robinson to offer evidence that the allegations weren’t true, with others calling for him to end his campaign.

Republicans have called for Robinson to end his campaign. His staffers have quit and yet... Trump still supports this guy. I guess in the MAGA party this is par for the course.

Can't blame them. I would quit when it's futile to campaign for such a trump supporting creep who has no future as a governor.

NC is blue.

NC is blue.

Not yet. But it is often classified as a purple state. Maybe this will nudge it over to the good guys.
