Several top staffers in North Carolina Republican Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson’s campaign for governor have left their posts after a CNN report outlined evidence of disturbing posts he made on a pornography website over a decade ago.
Despite denying writing the posts, Robinson faced backlash and staff resignations. The release mentioned the departure of senior advisers and campaign managers, with Robinson expressing gratitude for their efforts. Subsequently, more staffers parted ways with the campaign, including the chief of staff.

The CNN report revealed controversial posts attributed to Robinson, leading to scrutiny and criticism. Robinson’s association with Trump and his divisive remarks have shaped the narrative around his candidacy for governor of North Carolina.
Despite the fallout, Robinson remains optimistic about his chances in the upcoming election, emphasizing Republican support and casting doubt on polling data. However, his inflammatory comments continue to draw scrutiny and opposition from political opponents.
