Mark Robinson faces GOP backlash, staff resignations, public disgust due to controversy over posts on porn site “Nude Africa”
North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson, a Republican candidate for the state’s gubernatorial race, has canceled a scheduled fundraiser in Kenilworth, Illinois, following the release of disturbing posts linked to him on a pornographic website. The event, initially planned for September 29, was organized by local Illinois GOP officials to support Robinson’s campaign and other Republican candidates. However, the fallout from a recent CNN investigation revealing a series of offensive online comments has prompted the cancellation, leaving Robinson’s campaign facing significant challenges.
Robinson, whose controversial remarks had already attracted scrutiny, came under increased pressure after CNN reported on offensive posts he allegedly made on a website called “Nude Africa.” The posts, which date back more than a decade, included racially charged statements and support for reinstating slavery. In addition to these inflammatory comments, Robinson allegedly referred to himself as a “Black Nazi” and made derogatory comments about Holocaust survivors.
