The Republican candidate also attacked Martin Luther King Jr., calling the civil rights icon “worse than a maggot.”

Mark Robinson, who was endorsed in March by Donald Trump in the race for governor of North Carolina, said he supported slavery, called himself a “black NAZI,” and graphically described “peeping” on women in public gym showers on a porn forum called “Nude Africa,” CNN KFile reported Thursday.

The comments were reportedly made “under the username minisoldr, a moniker Robinson used frequently online.” CNN said it determined the username belonged to the gubernatorial candidate “by matching a litany of biographical details and a shared email address between the two.”

    This is really great reporting too. I just watched the video confrontation between the reporter and Robinson and it was incredible. Robinson made a weak excuse about AI but the reporter gave no quarter and had so many facts on recall.

    It was the most satisfying thing I’ve watched on TV since Vice President Kamala Harris told Donald Trump directly to his, well, ear, that Putin would “eat you for lunch” while he stared dead ahead, unable to even look her in the eye.

    Strongmen usually aren’t, and it’s nice to see that deftly demonstrated every once in a while.
