New reaction is pouring in about Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson, the Republican nominee for Governor, after inflammatory comments allegedly made by him on a pornography site over a decade ago surfaced. Robinson has denied making the comments and called them fake. Despite his denial, many, including State Senator Ted Budd and State Representative Zach Hawkins, have expressed disgust and embarrassment over the situation. Others, like Duke University professor Asher Hildebrand, have criticized Robinson’s remarks and questioned his suitability for public office. Robinson has urged people to focus on the substantive issues facing the state and move on from the controversy. However, some voters, like Brittany Turner, who have recently moved to North Carolina, say they were already hesitant to support Robinson for Governor and are now even more skeptical. The situation has raised concerns among both Democrats and Republicans in North Carolina about the impact it could have on the election. The controversy surrounding Robinson’s alleged comments highlights the importance of paying attention to local elections and the individuals running for office at every level. Despite the denial from Robinson, the backlash continues, with calls for him to address the issue further and prove that the comments were not made by him.
