It also marks a repudiation of Robinson, the divisive figure who drew attention forRepublican leaders and financial donors largely abandoned Robinson after a CNN investigative report linked him to an online persona in which, extolled the virtues of chattel slavery and engaged in grotesque sexual commentary on a pornographic chat board.
Speaking at Lake church in the eastern North Carolina town of White Lake on the Fourth of July, Robinson said “” while describing his posture toward people he perceives as America’s enemies, an assortment in his speech that ranged from “people who have evil intent” to “socialists” and “communists”, a term he regularly assigns to Democrats.had endorsed Robinson, calling him “Martin Luther King on steroids” at a rally in March.
Robinson joins a long line of failed Republican campaigns in what remains a fundamentally conservative state. In the past 32 years, only twohave won the governorship: Pat McCrory, who served from 2013 to 2017, and Jim Martin, who served from 1985 to 1993.
