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.”

    This feels a little too perfect and on the nose to me. It’s possible that this was someone who did a whole lot of research on him and then hacked this website to inject historic posts. I’m a little worried that this will blow up in our faces.

    Please didn’t see this as some kind of defense of this man. He’s an evil ass that needs to go away. I felt icky even typing that first paragraph, but this train has a lot of steam, and I’m worried about the tracks. I actually waited and debated a long time before posting this, cause I knew it wasn’t going to be taken well by the community.

      “Inject historic posts”

      lol. This would be easily disproven and would be a criminal act. Republicans often make these kinds of ludicrous conspiracy claims and it always ends up being projection.
