Robinson denies report he made racist, sexual comments on porn site

(WUNC) Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson is denying a CNN report that says he made a series of racist, sexually explicit comments on an internet pornography forum — but the allegations are prompting at least one fellow Republican to call on Robinson to drop out of the governor's race.

The lengthy CNN report, published Thursday afternoon, highlights comments posted to an online pornography forum called "Nude Africa" from an user calling themselves Mark Robinson with many of his personal biographical details, and with an email address associated with the man who's now the Republican nominee for governor.

The report includes a long list of sexually explicit and racist comments posted to the site between 2008 and 2012, long before Robinson entered politics as a candidate for lieutenant governor in 2020. The commenter describes himself as a "Black Nazi," calls for the reinstatement of slavery, says he enjoys watching transgender pornography and describes a time he spied on women taking showers in a locker room — all while using anti-gay slurs and other profanity in the posts.

"my account was hacked" excuse. Of course, he might not want to admit to actually having an account on a porn site, but that horse has left the barn.
