I mean it’s just self-preservation. I don’t think any of his behavior is a surprise to his top aides. It’s just that it’s public now.

Remember that Trump endorsed him with borderline erotic praise.

Dude is cooked. May have actually thrown NC to Harris

He’s toast. I hope he costs Trump NC.

I cannot believe the national R party did not pay him (enough) to step down Friday.

I’d like to know if these staffers knew about the 1:6 Nazi figurine collection before this huge drop. Unique from all the sordid online stuff, it seems like all it would take is being in his home and seeing them.

Hard to imagine that he will not eventually be replaced. I’ve read articles that say Trump‘s path to the electoral college is almost nonexistent without North Carolina. I don’t think they can change the name on the ballot though. But I can’t see how he continues.

The guy was already a known scumbag before the last few days and these people were still happy to be tied to him then. Jumping off the ship now doesn’t save your reputation.

It’s hard to fathom that this is the one thing that did it, but I guess there is a tipping point where he is now becoming a pariah. The reality is that all of the people leaving still supported him when he said that slavery was good and that he’d own a few. For whatever reason THAT was still ok.

Didnt the NC GOP double down on Robinson saying this is all liberal lies? The arrogance is insane.

So the question is which is worse for Trump? Robinson continuing to actively campaign for the Governorship, or Robinson shutting down his campaign and conceding the race without being able to remove his name from the ballot due to missing the deadline.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/22/politics/mark-robinson-campaign-resignations/index.html) reduced by 78%. (I’m a bot)

> Four top operatives on Republican Mark Robinson's campaign for North Carolina governor have stepped down, the campaign announced on Sunday, days after a CNN report uncovered inflammatory comments he made on a porn website.
> The announcement from Robinson's campaign comes in the aftermath of a CNN report uncovering inflammatory comments the lieutenant governor and Republican nominee for governor made on a pornography website message board over a decade ago.
> Neither the Robinson campaign nor Nude Africa responded to inquiries from CNN. In a statement announcing the departure Robinson reiterated his intention to stay in the race, saying, "Polls have consistently underestimated Republican support in North Carolina for several cycles now and with a large portion of the electorate still undecided as we continue to ramp up our efforts across the state, I am confident our campaign remains in a strong position to make our case to the voters and win on November 5.".
Can’t wait for when he inevitably loses and then claims it was rigged.

These are their names. They were fine helping an avowed Nazi until the political headwinds changed. Well forget their names as soon as we read this but may their fortunes always be tied to this ignominy.

Don’t sugarcoat it! They did not step down, they ran!

He will probably still be the candidate on election Day. This easily proves two things. The Republican party is reprehensible and the two-party system is a complete failure.

Robinson also announced that he will now go by the name “Pee Diddy.”

Is there a real chance NC will go Blue? When was the last time that happened?

The resignations shows that they either knew about the bad stuff about Robinson and tried to hide it, or they have looked at the evidence against him and decided that it was solid. At any rate, they are saving their own asses now, no need to damage their future with other campaigns staying on a stinking, sinking ship.
Stein is being very smart and strategic. His only statement so far was to cast doubt on the personal morals of the GOP ticket above and below Robinson. I believe that barring a gross surprise about his history, Stein realizes that he has his race in the bag and wants to help Harris and down ballot Democratic Party candidates in his state.

North Carolina, you have the opportunity to rid yourself of Robinson and rid the country of Trump. Please vote!

Is there any mainstream Democrat candidate running for office who is equivalently extreme as Mark Robinson is? People like him are the main force making this country “divided” and it’s frustrating listening to media and pundits acting like it’s not completely one-sided division. Sane people don’t want to be friends or maintain contact with people like Mark Robinson or his supporters and that should be encouraged in a civilized society.

They don’t want to work for a black nazi?
They will still vote (R)
