North Carolina Republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson has called himself a “black NAZI!” on a porn website’s message board, according to a new CNN report on the incumbent lieutenant governor, who is already plagued by scandals and controversial comments.

According to CNN reports, Robinson referred to himself as a “pervert” in the archived messages because he “likes to watch transgender pornography.” The messages were written between 2008 and 2012 on Nude Africa, a pornographic website and message board.

Robinson, North Carolina’s first black lieutenant governor, is running against Democrat Josh Stein, the state’s attorney general, in November. Republicans reportedly pressured Robinson to drop out of the race after rumors of CNN’s report began to circulate Thursday. The deadline for a candidate to withdraw in North Carolina is also Thursday.

Since Republicans already control the North Carolina legislature, a Robinson victory would give them a three-way victory and sole control of policymaking in a crucial swing state.

Robinson has made controversial statements in the past, calling Covid-19 a “globalist” conspiracy to destroy Donald Trump. In 2021, he criticized efforts to teach LGBTQ+ issues in sex education classes and referred to transgender and gay people as “filth.” He also said that gay people were like “what the cows leave behind,” as well as “maggots” and “flies.”
