Fox News host Jesse Watters claimed he’s never heard of Mark Robinson, despite interviewing him earlier this year.
Robinson, North Carolina’s Republican candidate for governor, is fighting for his political career after a bombshell report by CNN’s KFile said he referred to himself as a “black Nazi” and said “slavery is good,” among other shocking remarks, on a porn forum.
Watters stayed mostly silent on The Five when the subject was brought up by co-host Jessica Tarlov, who described North Carolina as “a big target for the Democrats.”
She said: “And we just found out an hour ago that the lieutenant governor there, Mark Robinson, who’s running for governor…”
“Never heard of him,” Watters interrupted.
But the controversial host had actually interviewed Robinson in January on his show Jesse Watters Primetime. At the time, Robinson was interviewed by Watters regarding rumors Michelle Obama was running for office and whether Republicans “should be concerned” about her.
