The Republican nominee for governor in North Carolina has denied writing the posts, which have upended his campaign in the battleground state

Mark Robinson found himself in the midst of scandal this week after CNN reported on pro-slavery and anti-Semitic comments he made on an adult website. But new details are emerging suggesting Robinson has a unique affinity for Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler.

A porn site user linked to North Carolina gubernatorial nominee Mark Robinson praised Adolf Hitler’s book “Mein Kampf” in addition to declaring himself a “black NAZI,” according to screenshots obtained by the Washington Post.

The state's current lieutenant governor allegedly made comments more than a decade ago that included "peeping" on women and wanting to reinstate slavery, according to a CNN investigative report

In a post on social media Thursday, Robinson denied what he called “salacious tabloid trash” and vowed to stay in the race.
