And now Robinsons has been hospitalized and is “being treated for burns following an incident at the Mayberry Truck Show & Parade in Mount Airy.” Poor guy just can’t catch a break!

> It wasn’t immediately clear what happened at the Mount Airy event. The Washington Post reported that Robinson “[burned his hand leaning against a truck](https://x.com/AmyEGardner/status/1839869021635682652)” and “is fine and home now.” Lonergan did not immediately respond to additional questions Friday night. Maybe he’s just allergic. ---

Well, given his interest in porn, I hope he’s ambidextrous. Also, I found this paragraph in an article about Robinson amusing in a dry humor sort of way. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, when asked Tuesday if Republicans should halt support for Robinson’s campaign, responded, “It won’t surprise to you know I’m happy that there’s not a Senate race in North Carolina.” ---
