The Republican nominee for attorney general isn’t retracting his support for the embattled gubernatorial candidate. Bishop has in the past described Robinson as “groundbreaking” and “the most formidable candidate [he’s] ever seen in North Carolina.”
In our follow up to the Mark Robinson “I’m a black NAZI”-porn-site story that CNN reported this week, we'd planned to quote from some of the comments that Robinson allegedly posted on the site’s message board but which CNN said were too graphic to publish.
Then we read them.
Hours before the CNN story published, reports spread that state Republicans were looking for ways to push Robinson out of the governors race. Robinson, who denied the allegations, rejected any notion that he would drop out.
Robinson, who has a long record of disparaging women, also said, "that means you don’t lay down and act like you’re making a baby until you’re ready to have a baby.”
Access to healthcare and reproductive rights are core moral issues Mark Robinson has outright flip-flopped about, one way or the other, within months of the election. North Carolinians deserve to know the earnestly held positions of the candidates seeking to represent them.
