North Carolina Republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson was handily defeated by Democrat Josh Stein on Tuesday, bringing an end to a chaotic campaign ultimately defined by Robinson’s many scandals.
Cue the mockery.
Stein’s win doesn’t come as a surprise, given that among other things Robinson, currently the lieutenant governor, had among other things his history of calling himself a “Black Nazi” on a pornography website’s message board exposed by CNN .
And that stuff — along with related scandals — came up a lot in the social media commentary.

While Robinson’s statewide political career appears to be over (for now, anyway), he’ll still likely be in the news for some time to come, as he’s currently suing CNN for $50 million over their coverage of his scandals.
Robinson claims the harm to his political career dealt by CNN’s reporting was deliberate and “appears to be a coordinated attack aimed at derailing” his campaign.
