“A group committed to electing Republicans as governors across the country appears to be pulling back from the North Carolina gubernatorial race following the latest reports about the GOP nominee, Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson. The Republican Governors Association’s (RGA) current ad buy in the Tar Heel State is set to expire Tuesday, and the group does not currently have other placements planned, according to its communications director Courtney Alexander. … Robinson has remained adamant that he will continue in the governor’s race against Democratic state Attorney General Josh Stein and pushed back against the CNN report that he made a series of inflammatory remarks on a pornography website’s message board between 2008 and 2012, before entering public office. The comments reportedly include Robinson calling himself a ‘black NAZI,’ wishing for slavery to return and graphically discussing sexual preferences. Robinson has said the report is false and threatened to sue CNN over it.” (09/23/24)
