North Carolina Republican gubernatorial nominee Mark Robinson has vowed to remain in his race despite a CNN media report about comments it says he made on a website

Donald Trump’s campaign declined to comment Thursday on whether North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, whom the former president once described as “Martin Luther King on steroids,” should drop out of the battleground state’s race for governor.

The GOP gubernatorial candidate allegedly called himself a "black NAZI" and said he liked transgender porn years ago, despite his recent anti-trans rhetoric.
