Lt. Governor Mark Robinson made a campaign stop in Western North Carolina, where he emphasized the importance of public safety, education, healthcare, infrastructure, and housing in improving the economy. Robinson criticized the media, particularly CNN, for what he referred to as “trashy lies” in their reporting. Despite staff resignations and controversy surrounding past comments made by Robinson, supporters continue to stand behind him.
During his stops at small businesses in Wilkesboro and Boone, Robinson addressed concerns about struggling businesses and the need for a focus on education. Protesters expressed opposition to Robinson, citing his controversial comments and alleged misogynistic views. Robinson’s campaign is reviewing resumes to fill vacant staff positions, and he remains committed to staying in the race for governor.
Robinson did not appear at a rally with former President Donald Trump but attended a meet-and-greet at the Fayetteville Motor Speedway. Despite a recent scandal involving past comments on a porn site, Robinson has denied making those posts and is continuing his campaign.
The Republican Governors Association confirmed their media buy in North Carolina would expire soon, but no further placements had been made. As the election approaches, it remains to be seen how the controversy surrounding Robinson will impact voter opinions and the outcome of the race. Despite the challenges, Robinson’s supporters remain steadfast in their support for his candidacy.
