Four employees of Mark Robinson’s campaign resign amidst controversy

Four key staff members of Mark Robinson’s campaign for North Carolina governor have resigned amid calls for Robinson to step down following allegations of antisemitic and racist comments made by him in the past on a porn website. The campaign did not specify the reasons for the staff departures, but Robinson thanked them for their efforts and expressed confidence in the campaign’s ability to reach voters and win the election. Despite the allegations, Robinson has denied them and pledged to continue his campaign. Republicans have expressed concern, but the North Carolina Republican Party has stood by him, emphasizing his denial of the allegations. Democrats have tried to link Robinson to former President Donald Trump, who has endorsed him in the race, as they view North Carolina as a state that could potentially be flipped in the presidential race. Polls show a close race in the state, and Trump’s vice presidential running mate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, has acknowledged the importance of winning North Carolina in order to succeed in the overall election. New staff roles are expected to be announced by Robinson’s campaign in the near future.
