Mark Robinson's Controversial Past Resurfaces Amid North Carolina Gubernatorial Race
In the heat of North Carolina’s gubernatorial race, Mark Robinson, the GOP nominee, has found himself at the center of a firestorm following revelations about his past comments on a pornography forum. A CNN investigation has brought to light a series of shocking statements made by Robinson, where he referred to himself as a "black NAZI" and controversially expressed support for reinstating slavery. These comments, dating back over a decade, were made under the username “minisoldr” on a site called Nude Africa, and they starkly contrast with his current public persona as a socially conservative politician.
Despite denying these comments, evidence compiled by CNN links Robinson directly to the posts. His username included details that match his identity, such as his full name and an email address used consistently across various platforms. Robinson’s statements on the forum were not only inflammatory but also included graphic accounts of his sexual experiences and fantasies, which he later attempted to dismiss as "tabloid trash."

Robinson’s rhetoric has been increasingly controversial throughout his political career. He has openly criticized transgender individuals, advocating for strict bathroom laws based on biological sex, while paradoxically admitting to enjoying transgender pornography in his past comments. This duality raises questions about his authenticity and the consistency of his beliefs. During a campaign rally, he stated, "If you’re a man on Friday night... and you want to go in the women’s bathroom... you will be arrested," highlighting his aggressive stance against transgender rights.
Moreover, his commentary on race and gender has drawn severe backlash. He has made derogatory remarks about civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and has used racial slurs in discussions about various issues. Robinson's past support for a complete ban on abortion, without exceptions, and his casual dismissal of serious issues like rape in his commentary only deepen the divide among voters.
As the campaign progresses, Robinson's connections to the “minisoldr” persona become increasingly problematic. Critics argue that his past behavior and statements are inconsistent with the values he claims to uphold. Robinson’s comments about wanting to see slavery reinstated, alongside his trivialization of sensitive topics, have sparked outrage, leading many to question his suitability for the role of governor.
Despite the controversy, Robinson remains steadfast, stating that the people of North Carolina deserve better than what he calls "salacious tabloid lies." However, as public scrutiny intensifies, the question remains: can a candidate with such a polarizing history effectively lead the state? His path forward will likely depend on whether voters can reconcile his past with the future he proposes for North Carolina.
