Mark Robinson, North Carolina’s Republican candidate for governor, is under fire for reportedly having posted extensive antisemitic and sexually explicit content on adult websites.
The CNN reported the newly uncovered posts from 2010, when Robinson, the incumbent lieutenant governor of North Carolina, wrote in a forum discussing black Republicans that “I’m a black Nazi.” Two years later, he reportedly wrote that he would prefer to be governed by Nazi leader Adolf Hitler than by the Obama administration, reports the JNS.
“I’d take Hitler over any of the (expletive) that’s in Washington right now,” he reportedly wrote. CNN also reported that Robinson used an anti-Jewish slur in 2010 in a description of the television show “Good Times,” which was co-created by Norman Lear, who was Jewish.
Robinson denied the posts both on his social media and when asked by CNN. “I’m not going to get into the minutia of how somebody manufactured this—these salacious tabloid lies,” he told CNN.
CNN reported that it connected Robinson to the controversial posts through a shared username that Robinson is known to have used on other platforms, extensive overlapping biographical details, unusual phrases that Robinson employs, email addresses connected to him and the inclusion of his name in one of the profiles.
The network found that the social conservative had also written extensive, graphic sexual content on the sites and that he had also used slurs against other minority groups.
Robinson previously came under fire for other social media posts about Jews, the Holocaust and Hitler.
In a 2014 Facebook post, Robinson quoted Hitler on the value of racial pride, and he has used Yiddish and Hebrew phrases in posts implying that Jews exploit black people.
However, the North Carolina gubernatorial candidate said during a press conference that he is pro-Israel and denied that he is antisemitic.
“There have been some Facebook posts that were poorly worded on my part,” Robinson said at the press briefing, which announced Israel Solidarity Week in North Carolina. “There is no antisemitism standing here in front of you.”
