Speculation that NC Lt. Governor Mark Robinson is in danger of losing state Republican Party financial support

That’s not as bad as I was expecting. Wonder if there’s more coming.

My wife says he should be forced to carry his candidacy to term.

Ha!

(extra words for Discourse)

Story is up on CNN.com:

Mark Robinson, NC GOP nominee for governor, called himself a ‘black NAZI!,’ supported slavery in past comments made on porn forum | CNN Politics

The Nazi says he ain’t going anywhere.

I will admit to hoping he continues to stand his ground - sure, the comments on slavery isn’t going to hurt him with the white part of the GOP base (okay, fine, 90%, there, I’m being fair) but it isn’t going to help much with the rest.

May he, like a lot of Trump picks, push a Democrat into a win!

Yeah, but they always say that when the story first breaks. But Robinson is crazy enough that he just may mean it.

He’s blaming it on AI. For post made a decade ago.

Damn this election campaign would be just the absolute best funniest thing ever to happen if the Republicans were losing by double figures in every single race

I mean how are they not losing by double figures in every race?!! Well actually I do know and it’s not funny.

But seriously you could not write this stuff. Like there are 3 news stories a day that if you put in a story about a fictional terrible electoral campaign your editor would tell you to tone it down for fear of breaking the willing suspension of disbelief

Just finished reading through the CNN article. This is glorious.

Stay in! Stay in! Stay in!

I think we can infer that a decidedly laissez-faire approach to moderation prevails on the Nude Africa pornographic-website message board.

I look forward to the inevitable progression of responses.

  1. “I didn’t do it!” That wasn’t me, it’s fake."
  2. “Well, I guess it might have been me, but I don’t remember it. I had issues with addiction back then, but I have been clean for years now.”
  3. “Yes, it was me, and with all the reminders I’m getting, I now have a vague recollection of writing those things, but they don’t represent my current point of view. I have evolved.”

Robinson’s email address has also been found registered on Ashley Madison, a website created to facilitate extramarital affairs.

A website that hilariously only had about 1000 actual women on it, out of 35 million accounts.

From the CNN story:

So none of his personalities could have posted this stuff? Well alrighty then.

On the bright side, Robinson may have clinched the “black Nazi” vote.

At least his truest friend is not abandoning him. You can’t buy loyalty like that!

I’m not saying all Republicans are Black Nazis, but it does seem like all Black Nazis are Republicans.

You left out “I am a sinner just like all men and Jesus has forgiven me for my youtnful indiscretions”.
