Senator JD Vance commented on the allegations against Republican candidate for governor in North Carolina, Mark Robinson, stating that allegations are not necessarily reality. Robinson allegedly made controversial comments on a porn website in the past, including referring to himself as a “black NAZI” and making racist remarks about Martin Luther King Jr. Some members of the Republican Party have expressed concern over the allegations, though Robinson has denied them and plans to stay in the race.
Vance emphasized that it is up to Robinson and the voters of North Carolina to decide his fate in the race. Despite the controversy, there are no current plans for President Trump to withdraw his endorsement of Robinson. North Carolina is viewed as a crucial state for Republicans to win in order to secure the White House, with Trump narrowly winning the state in 2020. However, polling indicates a tight race between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Vance stated that his ticket does not have plans to campaign with Robinson, who is currently North Carolina’s lieutenant governor. The allegations against Robinson have sparked concern and controversy within the Republican Party, with some questioning his fitness to hold public office. The situation is ongoing and will continue to be investigated further by the news media and public opinion.
