Robinson won't appear at Trump's North Carolina rally after report on online posts, AP sources say

North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson will not appear at former President Donald Trump’s rally in the eastern part of his state after a CNN report about his alleged posts on a pornography website’s message board. That's according to two people familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal planning. Robinson has been a frequent presence at Trump’s North Carolina campaign stops. The Republican nominee has referred to Robinson, who is Black, as “Martin Luther King on steroids” and frequently praised him. The absence reinforces the gubernatorial candidate’s potential liability for Trump and downballot GOP candidates in the battleground state.
