The former Republican North Carolina lieutenant governor Mark Robinson has admitted he misled voters during his unsuccessful 2024 gubernatorial campaign when he denied posting racist and offensive comments on a pornography website – suggesting he did so to protect Donald Trump’s successful presidential run.

The spectacular undoing of Robinson’s political career came after CNN reported in September 2024 that he had been posting under a pseudonym on Nude Africa, an online porn forum.

Robinson, CNN reported, expressed support for slavery in forum posts. CNN also reported that Robinson, who is Black, labelled Martin Luther King a “commie bastard” and said that if he, Robinson, belonged to the Ku Klux Klan he would refer to King by a racist name.

Robinson also used homophobic and antisemitic slurs, according to CNN’s reporting, including exclaiming: “I’m a black NAZI!”

Racist diatribe aside, who the hell comments this much on a porn site??? I don't know about anyone else but if I'm looking at porn I don't typically stop to discuss sociopolitical beliefs... Have I been using porn wrong???😰

    A huge portion of reactionary politics is driven by sexual frustration. This is way more common than you would think.

    Look into the "BNWO" conspiracy if you want the weirdest racist rabbit hole to fall down. (Specifically places like anti_bnwo on that other site)

    Republican: "I had to lie in order to protect Pathological Liar Trump".

    Rudy Guiliani has also admitted that he lied for Trump. Republicans think that dishonesty is a good thing if it helps billionaires get their gigantic tax cuts.

    Mark Robinson, formerly known as Clayton Bigsby should've kept his mouth shut while he was ahead and always should.

    Robinson should be stripped of any privilege and made to live and work in the poorest (black) communities like the locals and so face their daily struggles. He should be forced to visit and support all those men, women, children and families harmed by the very ideologies he supports. Fuck Robinson.
