The Republican candidate also attacked Martin Luther King Jr., calling the civil rights icon “worse than a maggot.”

Mark Robinson, who was endorsed in March by Donald Trump in the race for governor of North Carolina, said he supported slavery, called himself a “black NAZI,” and graphically described “peeping” on women in public gym showers on a porn forum called “Nude Africa,” CNN KFile reported Thursday.

The comments were reportedly made “under the username minisoldr, a moniker Robinson used frequently online.” CNN said it determined the username belonged to the gubernatorial candidate “by matching a litany of biographical details and a shared email address between the two.”

      Despite a recent history of anti-transgender rhetoric, Robinson said he enjoyed watching transgender pornography

      Good enough to be porn, not good enough for rights.

      And they said I wouldn’t be a real woman…

      On the Nude Africa website in both comments and his profile, minisoldr offered numerous details that align precisely with Robinson’s personal history.

      In his profile, minisoldr listed his full name as “mark robinson” and disclosed a private email address Robinson used elsewhere online. In 2012, a user responded to a comment by calling minisoldr “Mark.”

      Minisoldr mentioned in 2008 being married for 18 years, which corresponds with Robinson’s marriage to Yolanda Hill in 1990. In 2011, minisoldr wrote he had been married 21 years. Minisoldr wrote in a 2011 post that he lived in Greensboro, North Carolina, the same town where Robinson lived at the time and currently lives.

      In a post in 2012, minisoldr said he served in the Army in the 1980s, during the same time period as Robinson. In his sexually graphic comments detailing watching women in the showers in 2011, minisoldr wrote that his mother worked at an Historically Black College and University (HBCU). Robinson’s mother worked as a custodian at North Carolina A&T State University, an HBCU located in Greensboro.

      Both minisoldr and Robinson often posted about the same topics online, including reviews for remote-controlled helicopters, their attraction to specific celebrities and their favorite “Twilight Zone” episode.

      The email address associated with minisoldr on Nude Africa was also used by Robinson elsewhere online and social media. On the commenting platform Disqus, a user who joined in April 2011 features Mark Robinson’s photo under the username minisoldr.

      Usernames and email addresses from Disqus were publicly leaked online in 2017, according to the company. CNN confirmed that Robinson’s username minisoldr on Disqus shared the same email address as the one used on Nude Africa.

      Robinson’s Disqus page is also linked to the Black social networking site Black Planet. The Web Archive shows a user named “minisoldr” described themselves as 40 years old in February 2009 – the same age as Robinson at the time – and living in Greensboro, North Carolina – Robinson’s hometown.

      Oof. And it keeps going

        Yeah no, most politicians, regardless of wing, do not spend inordinate amounts of time, over years and years, on various forums on the Internet, all using the same username, and all dropping a fuckton of information in their posts that traces inarguably back to them irl.

        Hell, considering their average age and PC savvy, I’d bet most of them have never posted on a forum AT ALL.

        P.S. Oh, just noticed “Ghouliani”, you’re one of those people, lol. I don’t know how you guys can even write stuff like that without your fingers seizing up from embarrassment. Lack of self-awareness, I guess.

      That’s a pretty ridiculous over the top generalization. Half of the US is not Nazis, lol. This is not a country where 170 million Nazis live.

      I mean, unless of course you dilute the definition of “Nazi” so much that it becomes completely meaningless.

        lol. Your comment would be perfectly appropriate and ignorant in 1938 Germany. I’m sure many Germans didn’t consider themselves Nazis yet were complicit in Nazi actions and crimes. Voting for Trump/Robinson and project 2025 is no different and definitely not “meaningless”.

          Please realize that ridiculous exaggeration and generalization like this has literally zero benefit, and only makes it that much harder to shift voters toward blue.

        The political equivalent of the Republican party in Germany is the AfD, rated as a Nazi party and observed by the government agencies because they are a threat to democracy. I would even say that the GOP is actually right of the AfD.

        Yes, this implies that nearly half the US votes for Nazis. Yes, they do.

    This is Martin Luther King on steroids…I told that to Mark. I said, I think you’re better than Martin Luther King. I think you are Martin Luther King times two

    • Donald Trump on Mark Robinson

    And to be fair to Trump, it seems like Robinson is comparable to MLK in the sense both of them would be deeply offended by the comparison.

    In case anybody’s wondering, Fox News currently has this story 27th out of their normally formatted links on their home page, with the headline “GOP gubernatorial candidate vehemently denies graphic allegations, won’t exit race”.

    You’ll need to scroll past gems like:

    • CNN reporter lectures boat-owning Trump supporter on economy — but he isn’t having it
    • NFL Hall of Fame coach [openly homophobic Tony Dungy] posts fiery response to VP Harris’ tweet about abortion
    • Martha Stewart, Ina Garten dish on how decades-long friendship came to an end

    A couple years ago this would have been a strange headline, today not so much.

      Either because a) they didn’t do it, or b) were smart enough to not have the comments be tracked back to them personally

    You got to have a unique pornhub username that’s not the same as other accounts! I wouldn’t vote for this guy based on that alone.

    He has publicly denied the Holocaust and has made many antisemitic remarks. Is anyone surprised that he considers himself a black Nazi?
