Mark Robinson's Controversial Past Casts Shadow on NC Governor Campaign
Mark Robinson, the Republican nominee for governor of North Carolina, is facing intense scrutiny after disturbing revelations about his past comments on a pornographic forum have surfaced. An investigation by CNN has uncovered that between 2008 and 2012, Robinson made inflammatory remarks under the username "minisoldr." In these posts, he shockingly referred to himself as a "black NAZI" and expressed a disturbing nostalgia for slavery, claiming, "Slavery is not bad. Some people need to be slaves." These comments not only contradict his public persona but also reveal a complex and troubling character.
Robinson's candidacy has already been marked by controversy. Known for his staunch conservative views, particularly regarding transgender rights and abortion, he has drawn criticism for past remarks that seemed to ridicule marginalized groups. While publicly advocating for strict bathroom laws aligned with assigned gender at birth, his private comments reveal a different narrative—one where he admitted to being sexually aroused by viewing transgender pornography, calling himself a "perv."

In light of these revelations, Robinson has vehemently denied making the comments, dismissing them as "tabloid trash" and suggesting they were fabricated. However, the evidence linking him to the "minisoldr" username is compelling. His profile on the forum included personal details that align closely with his life, including his full name and email address, which have been verified across various platforms.
The implications of these findings extend beyond Robinson’s personal life. His history of incendiary remarks, which include disparaging comments about civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., has raised alarms among Republican strategists. The fallout from this controversy may not only jeopardize Robinson's gubernatorial bid but also pose a threat to the Republican Party’s broader standing in North Carolina, a crucial swing state.
Current polling indicates that Robinson is trailing behind his opponent, Democratic Attorney General Josh Stein. As the campaign intensifies, many are questioning whether Robinson’s past will deter voter support. Republican leaders are assessing the potential ripple effect of this controversy on other candidates, including former President Donald Trump, who has endorsed Robinson.
This situation illustrates a significant disconnect between Robinson’s public statements and his private behavior. It raises critical questions about authenticity and accountability in political leadership. As the election approaches, voters will need to consider not only Robinson's policies but also the unsettling narrative of his past that has now come to light.
