Warum der neueste Skandal um eine MAGA-Kandidatin das Team Trump endlich in Angst und Schrecken versetzt

“Only the Best People” -Donald J. Trump

Robinson represent all of MAGA most prominent impulses. They don’t want the quiet parts said out loud. It’s all about hypocrisy.

“He’s MLK x2.” -DonOld Trump

This story is just WILD.

He always picks the most extreme candidates, wonders why they lose, and then does the same thing over and over again. I’m starting to think he’s doing this on purpose because watching folks in his own party implode makes him feel better about himself.

Kinda quiet on the conservative sub….

North Carolina is a state that would be difficult for Republicans to ratfuck. They have a Dem
Governor and SoS, so to see it slipping away is scaring them. If this were, say, Georgia, they wouldn’t be nearly as concerned.

>On Thursday, a bombshell CNN report revealed that Robinson had written on a pornography website’s message board about his desire to own slaves, his peeping in women’s locker rooms, and his enjoyment of transgender porn.

And this is the Trump-endorsed GOP candidate. Apparently he has until 11:59 today to withdraw. And NOW Republicans are finally scared about NC?

“I’m a black Nazi” has them paralyzed with indecision.

> That butts Robinson up against the deadline to withdraw from the race: Thursday evening. If he does exit, the North Carolina Republican Party Executive Committee would be required to choose a replacement candidate—less than 50 days before the election.

So, tonight?

It does nothing to Team Trump.

Trump also loudly and proudly supported Roy Moore.

Fat lot of good his sexual misconduct scandal did

This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://newrepublic.com/post/186162/donald-trump-mark-robinson-scandal-scared) reduced by 82%. (I’m a bot)
*****
> North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson is a Hitler-quoting, gay-bashing, conspiracy-touting antisemite, and has drawn immediate comparisons to Donald Trump for his bombastic orations and loyal GOP following, along with his own laundry list of controversies.

> In light of the story, the Trump campaign reportedly told Robinson that he was no longer welcome to attend rallies for either candidate on the Republican presidential ticket, according to an anonymous source that spoke with the Journal.

> "Let me reassure you the things that you will see in that story are not the words of Mark Robinson," Robinson said.

I thought this was pretty funny:

> The comments were made long before Robinson entered electoral politics. CNN connected the account to Robinson via a “litany” of common biographical details and a **shared email address. He also used his full name on his site account.**

I just imagine CNN’s working hard trying to connect the dots between Robinson and the message board posts and then someone’s like “uh, his name and email’s right there on the account profile.”

GQP loves him because he’s their brown token that spews their bigotry. I bet he still gets 40% of the vote

Oh… after everything else they’ve said and done. This was the straw. This right here? They have to own this, this is the monster they’ve created with their rhetoric. A man is known by the company he keeps. They’ve been singing Robinson’s praises through all of this, and when the truth comes out they want to squelch it? Nah, sorry, doesn’t work that way.

If the last 8 years has told me anything… This won’t affect anyone who was going to vote for him. They’ll vote for him anyways.
