RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) – Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson (R) is facing pressure from within the Republican Party to suspend his campaign for governor. The pressure began in anticipation of a story that would expose a series of controversial comments made by Robinson on a pornographic website. The comments, which were reported first by CNN, were posted prior to Robinson's time in politics to a website called "Nude Africa." As the report shows, the comments were lewd and sexual in nature and included a reference to himself as a "black NAZI!" A breakdown of Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson’s history amid bombshell CNN report, calls to step aside Comments from the account that's been linked to Robinson in several ways also said "slavery is not bad" and "I would certainly buy a few." Further comments such as "I like watching tranny on girl porn!" and "I'm a ‘perv’ too!" were also found in the CNN investigation linking the comments to the gubernatorial candidate. Adding to the reports of lewd content connect to Robinson, Politico is reporting that his personal email address is registered on Ashley Madison—an online platform for married people seeking affairs. Politico said a personal advisor to Robinson confirmed the email address belongs to him. Robinson had campaign events scheduled on Thursday but they were cancelled. He also did not attend Wednesday’s rally with Sen. JD Vance in Raleigh. Ballots are scheduled to begin being mailed out to military and overseas voters on Friday. In response to questions from CBS 17 about the status of Robinson’s campaign—and before the CNN report—spokesman Mike Lonergan wrote in an email, “Where on earth did you hear this absurd nonsense? Is the press just making stuff up out of whole cloth now?” At NC’s GOP convention, governor candidate Robinson energizes Republicans  Sources who’ve spoken to CBS 17 say it’s unclear what Robinson will do, but Republicans are discussing what will happen in the event he does indeed exit the race. In response to mounting pressure, the following video was put out by Mark Robinson on X. In it, he vows to stay in the race. He also calls the news media his "opponent," and refers to the expected story coming out about him as "salacious tabloid trash." "The things that you will see in that story—those are not the words of Mark Robinson. You know my words, you know my character, and you know that I have been completely transparent in this race and before," Robinson added. Under state law, if Robinson were to drop out and his name remained on the ballot, any votes cast for him would go to the person chosen by the state Republican party's executive committee. CBS 17 also learned Thursday that the lieutenant governor’s office at the state legislative building had been cleared out. A spokesperson for Republican Senate leader Phil Berger’s office said the lieutenant governor’s staff had been notified of that “weeks ago.” ‘Are you stupid or are you deaf?’ Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson criticizes Kamala Harris’ stance on abortion rights “As part of the preparations for the next biennium, Senate leadership is evaluating the space allocations in both the Legislative Building and the Legislative Office Building. Since the Lt. Governor has a formal office within walking distance of the legislature, it was determined that his designated space in the Legislative Building could be converted to a meeting space for legislators. The Lt. Governor’s staff was notified weeks ago and did not raise any concerns about the space being repurposed,” wrote Lauren Horsch in an email. FOX8, a CBS 17 affiliate station in Greensboro took to Robinson's neighborhood to knock on the door of his home Thursday afternoon. No one came to the door. In a short statement following the release of the CNN report, the campaign of his democratic opponent Josh Stein said: 'North Carolinians already know Mark Robinson is completely unfit to be Governor. Josh remains focused on winning this campaign so that together we can build a safer, stronger North Carolina for everyone." Stein's campaign said earlier this week that a campaign between the two will not happen. "A debate would only serve to legitimize him and provide a platform for his vile and dangerous rhetoric, and we won’t be part of that," a spokesperson told CBS 17. NC Republican reaction In an interview with NewsNation, Sen. Ted Budd (R-NC) was asked if he was concerned about Robinson. "The allegations are concerning but we don't have any facts," Budd said. "We're going to wait through the weekend and get everything together." A statement has also been released by NC Senate nominee Scott Lassiter, formally calling for Robinson to suspend his campaign. “As a proud Republican, I stand for hard work, fiscal responsibility, and liberty. But no one should feel obligated to support a candidate solely due to party affiliation,” Lassiter stated, “Wrong is still wrong, and if the recent allegations against Robinson are true, combined with his previous public rhetoric, I believe it’s time for him to step aside. North Carolinians deserve a viable choice in this election.” Robinson's endorsement from Trump Earlier this year, on March 3, Former President Donald Trump endorsed Robinson in his hometown, Greensboro. In that speech, he compared him to Martin Luther King, Jr. In response, a statement from the Robinson campaign said, "I look forward to partnering with him take on the failed Biden-Stein agenda, lead our united Republican ticket to victory in November, and get our state and country back on track."
