DONALD TRUMP ONCE CALLED Mark Robinson “Martin Luther King on steroids,” but old internet posts make the North Carolina lieutenant governor sound more like a perverted Louis Farrakhan.
“I’m a black NAZI!” Robinson wrote pseudonymously on the message board of a pornographic website in 2010, according to CNN. The network also reported Thursday that, during the period from 2008 to 2012 when he left comments on the website, Robinson used the antisemitic slur “hebe” and praised Adolf Hitler.
Robinson, the GOP’s controversial nominee for governor in the swing state, also allegedly posted about enjoying “tranny” pornography, a vice that conflicts with his anti-transgender conservative Christian rhetoric as a politician. He denied making the incendiary comments or even using the website in question, Nude Africa.
Weighed down by constant controversy, the polarizing pol was already struggling in his gubernatorial race before Thursday’s bombshell. The new allegations amounted to a one-two punch that combined accusations of antisemitism with lurid and hypocritical sexual tastes. It knocked Robinson off the campaign trail for a day. More concerning for national Republicans, it put Trump’s presidential campaign in the blast radius in a must-win state.

“Most Republicans knew they had a losing candidate here for governor,” Woodhouse said. “This was a trainwreck from the beginning. But no one knew how bad it would be.”

When he compared Robinson to King, Trump noted at the time that the North Carolinian didn’t seem particularly enthusiastic about the compliment. The messages posted on Nude Africa that CNN linked to Robinson, show he loathed the civil rights icon.
“Get that fucking commie bastard off the National Mall!,” Robinson wrote in 2011 when President Barack Obama dedicated a memorial to King in Washington.
When he was accused of being a white supremacist, Robinson allegedly responded: “I’m not in the KKK. They don’t let blacks join. If I was in the KKK I would have called him Martin Lucifer Koon!”
Robinson, CNN reported, said he liked Adolf Hitler’s leadership more than Obama’s in 2012 (“I’d take Hitler over any of the shit that’s in Washington right now!”), expressed no reservations about bringing back slavery for some people, and made more slurs about blacks, whites, Jews, Muslims, and gays.

Robinson first exploded on the political scene in 2018 when, as a political neophyte, he harangued the Greensboro City Council in opposition to a plan to cancel a local gun show in the immediate aftermath of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School massacre in Florida. The viral clip, shared by a local congressman, launched the political career of a man who had lost his job three years before when the office furniture plant he worked at closed.
Robinson jumped into a crowded low-spending race for lieutenant governor and won. His oratory and bombastic style made Republican hearts go pitter-patter and, after he announced his gubernatorial bid in April 2023, he was far ahead in name ID and polls. He faced only token opposition and easily won Trump’s endorsement.
