Mark Robinson thread | Sues CNN for Naked Africa reporting

[SnoopRob]

The CNN article focuses on unsavory comments Robinson made in several online chatrooms, according to sources familiar with the material.

I wonder what his IC username was?

“North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein (D) has rejected a debate with Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson (R) in their gubernatorial race, citing the many controversial statements the GOP nominee has made throughout his career.

Stein campaign spokeswoman Kate Frauenfelder said in a statement that engaging with Robinson for a debate would only give him a platform to spread “his vile and dangerous rhetoric.” …”

Tonight is the deadline to withdraw from the race, btw.

The deadline was two weeks ago. This is a new NC Supreme Court created deadline. Who's to say they won't make another exception?

Ah, the statute says "A person who has been declared the nominee of a political party for a specified office under the provisions of G.S. 163-182.15 or G.S. 163-110, shall not be permitted to resign as a candidate unless, prior to the first day on which military and overseas absentee ballots are transmitted to voters under Article 21A of this Chapter, that [the] person submits to the board of elections which certified the nomination a written request that person be permitted to withdraw. "

And that deadline was two weeks ago. But this says prior to the first day on which military and overseas ballots ARE transmitted. So the NC court, giving RFK the ability to delay the distribution of ballots, also gave Robinson an extension. But I doubt they will delay the ballot printing AGAIN, so if he withdraws, his name will be on the ballot.

Feels like a PicknPop to me.

I'm calling BS on the Nazism thing. My (uninformed) opinion is that this is put out by his own campaign, so that when the story drops they can say "see, it was just sex and not Nazism like those lying liberals were trying to say".

I could be wrong. Could also be his campaign trying to get out ahead of some actual damaging online comments.

I do think that the fact that the source for the tweet was his own campaign speaks volumes in and of itself.

Agreed. We have seen that Nazism is not a disqualifier for any Republican politician.

Say what you will, and most of it is awful, but this election cycle has been one hell of a ride.

If this were a tv show, I'd say the writers had gotten too far out there and that numerous plot lines were unbelievable.

But, you know, instead this is real life.

Is it a live young boy/dead young girl sort of thing?

So, I love Roy. Always have. Hope he’s our next great NC senator. But this dickwad has been one heartbeat from the governor’s mansion for two years now. HOW DID WE NOT HEAR ABOUT ALL THIS EARLIER????

 

[gregh1]

Stein would be dumb to leak something that results in Robinson being replaced with ANY other Repub candidate. Maga will vote for anything with a heartbeat and there might be some centrists who are a little less revolted by an alternative.

It's really a shame none of this didn't come out when Robinson was running for Lt Governor - my understanding is that if the Democrat had won that election cooper was going to run for Senate in 2022

I hope he tells the GOP to kick rocks and remain in the race. Bring them all down like the Titanic.

Probably because the Trump campaign wasn’t in any real danger of losing North Carolina until now.

Robinson's porn addiction may finally be the thing that might end him. The other crap doesn't make the news (sad in this day's cycles), but the porn addiction was on the "news of the day" in at least 2 big radio stations - one in the Triangle and one in the Triad.

I agree, this isn't in the top ten of reasons not to vote for him.

As long as he loses, I'm good with this.

As of a month ago, when the stuff was probably first leaked (to give the journalists time to build a story), it would be currently too late. The leak was timed well, I think, because the withdrawal date was Sept 6. What they weren't expecting was the Supreme Court to delay the withdrawal state just because RFK wanted to remove his fucking name.

Welp, how long now before Mike Johnson pushes a reporter in front of a train?

 

[Icky Mettle]

Any way you slice this, this can’t be good for pubs. There’s been plenty of dirt on him for a long time and they fully backed him until now. They’re still going to be tethered to that guy.
