Republican North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson denied involvement in an alleged pornography scandal that surfaced Thursday, vowing to remain in the race to become the Old North State’s next governor.
CNN published a report Thursday afternoon alleging Robinson’s previous use of a pornography site, called « Nude Africa », where he allegedly messaged with fellow users regarding peeping on women in locker rooms as a teenager, describing himself as a « black NAZI » and declaring a fondness for transgender pornography.
Just before the report was published, Robinson posted a video to his X account vowing to stay in the race while calling the then-anticipated report « tabloid trash. »
« Let me reassure you, 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. Folks, this race right now, our opponents are desperate to shift the focus here from the substantive issues and focus on what you are concerned with to salacious trap, tabloid trash », he said in the X video.
CNN’s report alleged that Robinson used a pseudonym on the porn site, « minisoldr », to discuss how he enjoys watching transgender pornography, as well as recounting how he allegedly peeped on women in a locker room as a 14-year-old.
« I came to a spot that was a dead end but had two big vent covers over it! It just so happened it overlooked the showers! I sat there for about an hour and watched as several girls came in and showered », Robinson allegedly wrote on Nude Africa of peeping on women as a teenager.
In another post in 2010, CNN reported Robinson allegedly stated, « I’m a Black Nazi! » while discussing Black Republicans.
The alleged use of the chat forums played out between 2008 and 2012, according to CNN, well before Robinson entered the political arena in 2019, when he announced his run for lieutenant governor.
