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 is what they are referencing: https://edition.cnn.com/2024/09/19/politics/kfile-mark-robinson-black-nazi-pro-slavery-porn-forum/index.html

    Judging by what they are saying, CNN KFile investigation bases their investigation mostly on “Robinson used ‘minisoldr’ all over the internet”. They also claimed to have linked his email, which is slightly sus given that I doubt porn websites are into the habit of making them public. I tried to go over to the one they mentioned and no, it does not scream security, there are BBS better looking than that website, at least their login.

    What seems to have motivated the investigation is that:

    CNN’s reporting on Robinson’s comments comes a few weeks after The Assembly, a North Carolina digital publication, reported that Robinson frequented local video pornography shops in the 1990s and 2000s. The story cited six people who interacted and saw him frequent the stores in Greensboro, North Carolina. A spokesperson for Robinson called the story false and a “complete fiction.”

    So I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s true, and I doubt CNN wouldn’t be making those claims if they could be easily disprove as outright lies.

      Right, That’s what I meant by “Well researched”. Someone looking to build this story could have gathered a whole bunch of his common sayings, his user name from other sites, historic information, etc, and using something like SQL injection, added posts that authentically look like they came from years ago. All the evidence they listed really could be handled that way.

      Again, I hate this man. He is scum. But there is a slight fishy smell about this story that just makes me a little wary.
