Republicans and Mark Robinson's Controversial Public Image
The decision by North Carolina Republicans to stick with gubernatorial nominee Mark Robinson is considered a critical blunder. Recently brought to light were Robinson's past statements on a porn site where he referred to himself in highly controversial terms and showed support for slavery. Despite this information emerging just before the cut-off date for candidate replacement, the Republican leadership chose to stand by him, reflecting a broader trend of denialism within the party influenced by Donald Trump. This adherence to a reality of their own making could alienate moderate voters, particularly those who might be put off by extremist rhetoric.
