Somehow, someway, the North Carolina GOP’s nominee for governor, Mark Robinson, is facing yet another slew of damning allegations, frustrating Republicans in the state and even spurring calls for him to drop out of the race.
The allegations, ultimately detailed in a thorough CNN investigation, began trickling onto social media Thursday morning amid reporting that those in Robinson and Donald Trump’s orbit wanted to see him out of the race.
By the time CNN had published its report, a compilation of sexually explicit and racist comments that Robinson allegedly posted on a porn site between 2008 to 2012, it was clear Republicans in the state could see there would be blowback.
