  2. It scares them because he’s letting out their secrets.

  3. Robinson represent all of MAGA most prominent impulses. They don’t want the quiet parts said out loud. It’s all about hypocrisy.

  4. With any luck Robinson keeps potential Trump voters home, but that would be about as unlikely as Robinson dropping out.

  8. Mark Robinson out here doing North Carolina proud.

    *^(/s just in case you couldn’t tell. He’s vile.)*

  9. He always picks the most extreme candidates, wonders why they lose, and then does the same thing over and over again. I’m starting to think he’s doing this on purpose because watching folks in his own party implode makes him feel better about himself.

  10. Because it is really shows Trump didn’t care about anything other than the color of the man’s skin and his endorsement of Trump. The Republican version of DEI.

  12. Dems need to get together and show some support for this guy! He’s gold Jerry!

  13. North Carolina is a state that would be difficult for Republicans to ratfuck. They have a Dem
    Governor and SoS, so to see it slipping away is scaring them. If this were, say, Georgia, they wouldn’t be nearly as concerned.

  14. What I learned today is that porn websites have discussion forums. Did not ever notice that amongst the porn.

  15. >On Thursday, a bombshell CNN report revealed that Robinson had written on a pornography website’s message board about his desire to own slaves, his peeping in women’s locker rooms, and his enjoyment of transgender porn.

    And this is the Trump-endorsed GOP candidate. Apparently he has until 11:59 today to withdraw. And NOW Republicans are finally scared about NC?

  16. In-case anyone was wondering, “No Tax On Tips” is just a scheme for the elite to give themselves $1 salaries with $10mln dollar tips every year.

  18. Doubtful! The latest revelations will only strengthen and solidify support from the “Christian” evangelical vote.

  19. > That butts Robinson up against the deadline to withdraw from the race: Thursday evening. If he does exit, the North Carolina Republican Party Executive Committee would be required to choose a replacement candidate—less than 50 days before the election.

    So, tonight?

  20. Oh I hope he doesn’t drop out. He will lose bad.

  21. It does nothing to Team Trump.

    Trump also loudly and proudly supported Roy Moore.

    Fat lot of good his sexual misconduct scandal did

  22. I will NEVER understand even a single POC siding with the right in the US. Is the hope that they’ll have the nicest tree picked out for them?

  23. To roughly paraphrase, they don’t care that he’s a “Hitler-quoting, gay-bashing, conspiracy-touting antisemite”. They care that too many other people will care that he’s a Hitler-quoting, gay-bashing, conspiracy-touting antisemite.

  25. I thought this was pretty funny:

    > The comments were made long before Robinson entered electoral politics. CNN connected the account to Robinson via a “litany” of common biographical details and a **shared email address. He also used his full name on his site account.**

    I just imagine CNN’s working hard trying to connect the dots between Robinson and the message board posts and then someone’s like “uh, his name and email’s right there on the account profile.”

  27. GQP loves him because he’s their brown token that spews their bigotry. I bet he still gets 40% of the vote

  28. I am willing to be bet the Trump team has data that this guy is single handedly going to cost him NC and any chance of winning. The guy is politically radioactive even by Trump standards

  29. Oh… after everything else they’ve said and done. This was the straw. This right here? They have to own this, this is the monster they’ve created with their rhetoric. A man is known by the company he keeps. They’ve been singing Robinson’s praises through all of this, and when the truth comes out they want to squelch it? Nah, sorry, doesn’t work that way.

  31. Robinson is pulling down the ticket in NC, an accidental swing state. Trump loses the state and it could be an early night.

  32. The Harris campaign is already posting clips of Trump saying of Robinson *”I think you’re better than Martin Luther King. I think you are Martin Luther King times two.”*

    Oh no.

  33. Is this the same dude who was buying sketchy USB drives at porn shops and getting his mistress an abortion?

  35. Why would it scare Team Trump when their dear leader is every bit as bad or worse. Only the best candidates 🤮🤮🤮

  36. I will laugh my fucking ass off it Harris loses PA but wins the Presidency because she pulls through on NC because of this.
