Democrats have seized on the opportunity to highlight Trump's ties to Robinson, with billboards showing the two together, as well as a new ad from Vice President Kamala Harris ' campaign highlighting the Republican candidates' ties as well as Robinson's support for a statewide abortion ban without exceptions. According to Harris' campaign, it's their first ad effort related to tying Trump to a down-ballot race.

I must give profound thanks to Mark Robinson, Trump's 'MLK on steroids' for delivering the crucial state of North Carolina to Kamala Harris.

Trump has long praised Robinson, who is Black, referring to him as “Martin Luther King on steroids."Endorsing Robinson ahead of the GOP gubernatorial primary, Trump continued: “I think you’re better than Martin Luther King. I think you are Martin Luther King times two.”

Thanks to the MAGA God Emperor and Black Nazi Mark Robinson.

Trump never met a Nazi he didn't like.

"There are good people on both sides".

Trump's ties to Robinson

Robinson and other bigots continue to make up a large part of trump's base, the creators of Project 2025 want to further divide the nation, and know Trump and base backed by Proud Boys and other white nationalist groups are key to keeping the long burning fires ablaze.

Robinson has denied writing the posts, which include lewd and racist comments, saying Thursday that he wouldn’t be forced out of the race by “salacious tabloid lies.” 

Yeah, it is true. And it shows gross hypocrisy. But that what happens when you select unserious "own the libs" type candidates.

And this is news why?

It is news because Trump really needs North Carolina to win the election and its really close. With Mark Robinson doing so badly, many GOP voters might just stay home.

Trump abandoning everyone he doesn't like or need!

His former wives (how many? 2 or 3??).

His former advisors.

His daughter (at least one he doesn't like too much).

His voters.

All for the money in his pocket.

Really pushing this Mark Robinson thing, desperate to make some connection.

Mark Robison was selected as the primary winner by the voters. Was zero vote Kamala?

Well the connection that Trump called him "MLK on steroids" and has fully backed him. When Trump gave him such an endorsement, it kinda hard to backtrack. Their campaigns are tied together.

Mark Robison was selected as the primary winner by the voters.

With the help of Trump's endorsement.

Was zero vote Kamala?

We'll see how many votes Harris gets in November - hopefully she wins NC...

Trump bites a dog again, and all but the farthest right media report it; the farthest right continue to blame something they call 'the media' for reporting Trump's unhinged doings.

Maybe Trump should dissociate with himself,since he has already disassociated with reality, Trump is an insecure man ,he never go against those who will confront him,

Trump ditches self-claimed Black Nazi Robinson.

no good comes from people running for office who have no business running for office.

the underhanded tactics being used in the carolinas now are a disgrace. university digital id’s were approved by state election boards long ago, and now the rnc is suing at the last minute to stop university students from voting.

the shenanigans by the trump acolytes on the georgia election board to defy the georgia election laws (which they have no power to do) is another attempt to rig the election.

the power has shifted from voters deciding on candidates to manipulating elections by stacking state election boards to rig elections.

the u.s. has become no better than a banana republic.

That proves more than anything that robinson is MAGA, denial is what led him here.

Very true sir, so desperate to expose misogynists, I mean who does that, and what is wrong with misogyny?????

Again, the ink is still wet, in America everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Maybe he did say these things, maybe he didn’t. But we have been down this road so many times where the left went giddy and then all of their dreams and hopes were dashed.

trump had a small turnout at the airport in north carolina today and people were leaving in droves when he went into random nonsense mode.

maybe some were disappointed because they hoped to hear his new song that's going viral around the world.

In the court of public opinion, he is guilty. That's why he isn't allowed to join Trump on his campaign trail. They think he is guilty.

I gave a MAGA person,I.know a voter registration form,who.people vote for that their business,I also gave a friend of mine a voter registration form,telling her to use her woman persuasion to get her boyfriend to vote for Harris

*In the court of public opinion, he is guilty. That's why he isn't allowed to join Trump on his campaign trail. Theythink he is guilty.*

I don’t care about the emotional and visceral court of opinion, I care about the rule of law. If Robinson is indeed guilty of the accusations he should step down, if not, give the left the middle finger.

Except when the past shows you to be a total hypocrite now.

No, not even close.

Maybe Richard’s was too busy buying pizza for the guys down at the porn store?

More likely Trump is trying desperately to scrub any references to him from his bio.

“Endorsing Robinson ahead of the GOP gubernatorial primary, Trump continued: “I think you’re better than Martin Luther King. I think you are Martin Luther King times two.”

robinson had a nickname for MLK but I can’t type it here.

You can read it here though. The evidence is damning. Good to see investigative journalism is still alive and exposing creeps like this turd.

Repubs have seen this rerun before...

Trump picks some loser with huge red flags in their past that he overlooks because the person "says nice things" about him...and pledges loyalty to the MAGA cult...remember Dr Oz and Herschel Walker? Probably not....

And what does it get them? Loss, after loss, after loss...

So keep picking those "winners" Donald - the ones that brag about being Nazis and are a bigger perv than you are...and that's saying something...

But after your unhinged meltdown over the past several months, there's no bigger Loser than you...

If this convicted felon wins the U.S. presidency, what does that say about the American people?

9 ( +9 / -0 )

Serious question - non-American here. Am I right in thinking that if the allegations about this Robinson guy are true, it simply won't matter because the people who support him are already so morally degenerate that they will continue to back him? I refer to certain posters on this board, who I will not name to avoid being moderated (but we all know who I mean) who would probably vote for a republican if said republican ran over their entire family in his car.

Or is there, somewhere in the universe, a line that's even too far for republican voters?

Didn't Robinson post on a PORN site that he was a Nazi? 1.) Porn site. Red flag. 2. Were the Nazis good christians? 3. Maybe he is a deep liberal plant. Now that he is falling out of favor, Mr. Trump might say that he is and so his followers can feel good about dumping someone who used to be a great guy.

i’m sure robinson won’t lose any support from the evangelical christian bloc. if the adjudicated sex assaulter unfaithful with a post actress to his wife with a newborn baby is still beloved and the chosen one by god, robinson ain’t half as bad.

No matter if the porn site posts that Mark Robinson made is true or not, we cannot dispute the fact that Robinson did say in a sermon that the Bible deemed that a man should lead this world, due to the fact that God sent "David" and not a women to lead. I am totally against using and abusing the teachings of the Bible to put women in their so-called place. It's plain misogynistic and wrong. The world is not like that nowadays.

Also, we shouldn't forget that Trump himself said to blame the Jews if he isn't elected. He is the only living thing that I know that would stoop so low as to place blame for his failings on one group of people. It should be an automatic red flag for not to vote for someone.

Cognitive Decline? Trump Stutters, Stumbles During New York Rally

The former president repeatedly misspoke during a speech on Wednesday.

No, Biden froze, needed Obama to help him off stage, lost on thought, needed the Easter bunny to step in for him, kissed his sister who he thought was his wife (eeeww) wandered off in Europe while watching an event, constantly trips and falls and the list goes on, so when that happens with Trump at that level and frequency then we can say, he has the same condition.

Well, whoever does go to one of Trump's rallies I hope they wear their scuba gear....

"Several attendees who stood on stage with Donald Trump at a recent rally in Tucson, Ariz., reported significant eye injuries following the Sept. 12 event, saying they had burning pain and temporary blindness immediately afterward. Some attendees who sat on the left of the stage sought medical care afterward, NBC affiliate KVOA-TV reported. "I can’t see anything when I try to open my eyes. I see a bright light. It hurts, it hurts a lot to open my eyes. I have this cold cloth I put on and take off constantly. It's horrible," Mayra Rodriguez told the outlet."
