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.”

Most likely not. Are there historic matching posts in the archive? If so, that would pretty much completely allay my lingering suspicion.
Also, his campaign doesn’t exactly seem to be the most tech savvy. They tried to blame this on AI Generated images, which doesn’t even make sense as a possible attack vector for faking this kind of evidence. I doubt they even know about or understand internet archival sites.
I think there are likely a nonzero number of archived websites that Robinson’s campaign could easily point to if they were able.
This is a guy who has said all kinds of horrific shit before. He didn’t even deny making antisemitic claims on Facebook (he said they were misunderstood, but he didn’t deny making them).

There is also a man who worked at a porn store who talked about Robinson as a regular customer and joke around with them. He would even bring in pizza.

The most obvious explanation here is that a horrible guy is horrible and really into porn.
I understand your hesitance. I’ve felt the same over and over again for about the last 10 years. It is almost like someone released a brain worm in the water supply of a GOP convention about 10 years ago. We have reached a point where insane shit is not an outlier event, but instead the standard operating procedure of the GOP.
