The guy is just a walking garbage dump…..
What else could ya say about a Black Republican labeling HIMSELF the ‘Black Nazi’?
And he’s Trump’s ‘guy’ in North Carolina, a state Democrats seem to be SERIOUSLY knocking on door for a win this time….
His mess could very well hurt GOPer in their Governor AND White House efforts in that state….
It’s all worked out a lot better for Trump than for his party, thanks to his unique ability to stay viable despite his own litany of controversies and mounds of baggage. Other candidates have demonstrated far less talent for that.
…
The big news Thursday was a CNN report that North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson (R), the GOP’s nominee for governor, whom Trump helped dominate in his primary, posted a series of problematic things on a pornographic message board more than a decade ago.
Among the comments: calling himself a “black NAZI,” voicing support for bringing back slavery and expressing a proclivity for transgender pornography.
Robinson denies he posted these things and said he’s staying in the race. “Let me reassure you: The things that you will see in that story, those are not the words of Mark Robinson,” Robinson said in a video posted Thursday afternoon before CNN’s story dropped.
But Republicans who were already worried about Robinson hurting the GOP ticket in a vital swing state — one of three especially key ones for Trump — must now be pulling their hair out. And there aren’t many good answers for the party at this point…..
Note…
Republicans have been looking for Black candidates to get at the Democratic Balck vote advantage….
Robinson is NOT gonna help them eh?

Probably a stretch to expect any “reverse coattails”. But you also have to imagine that Harris will be running ads of Trump endorsing Mark Robinson in heavy rotation.
