North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson has decided not to speak or appear at former President Donald Trump's rally in Wilmington, North Carolina, following a CNN report about alleged posts on a pornography website's message board. Robinson, a frequent presence at Trump's campaign stops, has been referred to by Trump as 'Martin Luther King on steroids.' Despite the controversy, Robinson remains the Republican candidate for governor, with the deadline for withdrawal having passed.
Robinson has denied writing the posts, which contain racial and sexual comments, and has vowed to continue his campaign. However, recent polls show him trailing behind Democratic nominee Josh Stein, the state's attorney general. Robinson's inflammatory comments have raised concerns among GOP leaders, with some suggesting he needs to address the allegations more fully.
