Mark Robinson, Endorsed by Trump for Governor of North Carolina, Called Himself a “Black Nazi,” Endorsed Slavery, and Described Spying on Women in Public Showers in Porn Forum Comments: Report

Mark Robinson, who was endorsed in March by Donald Trump in the race for governor of North Carolina, said he supported slavery, called himself a “black NAZI,” and graphically described “peeping” on women in public gym showers on a porn forum called “Nude Africa,” CNN KFile reported Thursday.

The comments were reportedly made “under the username minisoldr, a moniker Robinson used frequently online.” CNN said it determined the username belonged to the gubernatorial candidate “by matching a litany of biographical details and a shared email address between the two.”

According to the outlet, most of the comments, which Robinson denies writing, were made between 2008 and 2012. Per CNN:

Privately under the username minisoldr on Nude Africa, Robinson graphically described his own sexual arousal as an adult from the memory of secretly “peeping” on women in public gym showers as a 14-year-old. Robinson recounted the story as a memory he said he still fantasized about. “I came to a spot that was a dead end but had two big vent covers over it! It just so happened it overlooked the showers! I sat there for about an hour and watched as several girls came in and showered,” Robinson wrote on Nude Africa.

“I went peeping again the next morning,” Robinson wrote. “but after that I went back the ladder was locked! So those two times where [sic] the only times I got to do it! Ahhhhh memories!!!!”

CNN said it chose not to publish “the graphic sexual details of Robinson’s story,” which presumably means they must, somehow, be even worse.

In other comments on Nude Africa, Robinson discussed his affinity for transgender pornography. “I like watching tranny on girl porn! That’s f*cking hot! It takes the man out while leaving the man in!” Robinson wrote. “And yeah I’m a ‘perv’ too!”

In an interview, Robinson told CNN, “This is not us. These are not our words. And this is not anything that is characteristic of me.” Presented with the details re: how CNN determined the comments came from him, Robinson responded: “I’m not going to get into the minutia of how somebody manufactured this, these salacious tabloid lies.”

In addition to the highly sexual remarks Robinson reportedly made, he also allegedly wrote numerous deeply racist, homophobic, and antisemitic posts on the website.

Per CNN:

Writing in a forum discussing Black Republicans in October 2010, Robinson stated unprovoked: “I’m a black NAZI!” That same month, Robinson wrote in another post that he supported the return of slavery. “Slavery is not bad. Some people need to be slaves. I wish they would bring it (slavery) back. I would certainly buy a few,” he wrote.

In March 2012, Robinson wrote that he preferred the former leader of Nazi Germany Adolf Hitler over the leadership in Washington during the administration of Barack Obama. “I’d take Hitler over any of the sh*t that’s in Washington right now!” he wrote.

Robinson’s comments on Nude Africa often frequently contained derogatory and racial slurs directed at Black, Jewish, and Muslim people. In a series of seven posts in October 2011, Robinson disparaged Martin Luther King in such intense terms, calling him a “commie bastard,” “worse than a maggot,” a “ho f**king, phony,” and a “huckster,” that a user in the thread accused him of being in the KKK. Robinson responded by directing a slur at King.… “I’m not in the KKK. They don’t let blacks join. If I was in the KKK I would have called him Martin Lucifer Koon!” he wrote.

In October 2010, Robinson used the antisemitic slur “hebe” when discussing how he liked the show “Good Times” developed by Norman Lear, saying “the show itself was a bunch of heb [sic] written liberal bullshit!” While discussing the Taliban, he referred to Muslims as “little rag-headed bastards” and said that “if Muslims took over liberals would be the 1st ones to be beheaded!” Robinson also used homophobic slurs frequently, calling other users f*gs.

On Monday, prior to the report going live, Carolina Journal reported that North Carolina Republicans were “bracing Thursday morning as word spreads about a damning news story looming” about the GOP candidate, and that he was “under pressure from staff and members of the Trump campaign to withdraw from the governor’s race due to the nature of the story.” (Vanity Fair has reached out to the Trump campaign for comment.) In a video, Robinson insisted he would stay in the race, and also accused Democratic gubernatorial candidate Josh Stein of leaking a story to CNN, adding, “Let me reassure you, the things that you will see in that story, those are not the words of Mark Robinson. You know my words, you know my character.… Our opponents are desperate to shift the focus from the substantive issues…to salacious tabloid trash.” He then likened himself to Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas, and referred to Thomas’s claim, during the Anita Hill hearings, that he was the victim of a “high-tech lynching.”

It’s important to note just how many truly vile things Trump and other Republicans already knew about Robinson before today, but backed him anyway. That list includes but is not limited to Robinson:

Saying, “I absolutely want to go back to the America where women couldn’t vote.”Saying, that “abortion in this country is not about protecting the lives of mothers…It is about killing the child because you weren’t responsible enough to keep your skirt down.” (That’s despite paying for his then girlfriend, now wife, to have an abortion in the 1980s.)Variously calling women “whore,” “witch,” and “rejected drag queen,” and saying that people who breastfeed in public are “shameless attention hogs.”Trivializing domestic violence in a Facebook post in which he wrote, “So if someone beats the bird dog hell of their spouse at the mall….is it still ‘Domestic Violence?’”Writing in a Facebook post, “So if a woman who ‘transitioned’ into a ‘man’ marries and abuses a man who ‘transitioned’ into a ‘woman’ is it still ‘violence against a woman?’ Will the feminist raise hell over it? I’m asking for a British Cigarette.”Sharing memes mocking the victims of Harvey Weinstein and Bill O’Reilly.Declaring that “feminism was planted in the ‘Garden,’ watered by the devil, and is harvested and sold by his minions”; claiming that “Lesbianism and feminism” are destroying the family; saying feminists are “as bad, if not worse, than racist[s]”; and writing that any man who refers to himself as a feminist is “about as MANLY as a pair of lace panties.”Saying that people who supported equal rights for women are “sexist, hairy armpit having, poo-poo hat wearing pinkos.”Seemingly suggesting that Brett Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford made up her allegations against the then Supreme Court nominee, as did “those women who accused Roy Moore,” a.k.a. the former GOP nominee for US Senate in Alabama, who, per The Washington Post, “was accused of sexual assault or questionable behavior by at least eight women—including one who alleged that Moore initiated a sexual encounter when she was 14 and he was 32.” (Moore has denied all wrongdoing, as has Kavanaugh.)Equating the LGBTQ+ community with “filth.”Saying he doesn’t trust Muslims.Saying that he “wouldn’t be surprised” if 9/11 turned out to be an inside job or if the 1969 moon landing had been faked.Saying that he was “SERIOUSLY skeptical” JFK was assassinated.Calling Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg a “commie stooge” and “corrupt”Quoting Hitler and essentially telling people to get over the Holocaust.Robinson also reportedly visited a North Carolina porn video store up to five nights a week in the 1990s and 2000s, where he previewed videos in a private booth. (A spokesperson for his campaign denied this.)

Earlier this year, while endorsing him for governor of North Carolina, Trump described Robinson as “Martin Luther King on steroids,” “Martin Luther King times two,” and “better than Martin Luther King.”

Fact check: true!

But remember, Trump has “no idea” who these people are, wink-wink
