Mark Robinson, endorsed by Trump for Governor of North Carolina, called himself a “black Nazi,” endorsed slavery, and described spying on women in public showers in porn forum comments: report
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.”

On another note, I have never seen so many receipts on one guy, lol, damn.
Good enough to be porn, not good enough for rights.
And they said I wouldn't be a real woman...
Maybe that's why they keep insisting being trans is a sexual thing-- they can't stop thinking of porn
Sort of like how they keep talking about how they don't want "the gay agenda" to be "forced down my throat."
😏
Oof. And it keeps going
This dude goes shopping at CVS and says "not enough receipts".
This is really great reporting too. I just watched the video confrontation between the reporter and Robinson and it was incredible. Robinson made a weak excuse about AI but the reporter gave no quarter and had so many facts on recall.
It was the most satisfying thing I've watched on TV since Vice President Kamala Harris told Donald Trump directly to his, well, ear, that Putin would "eat you for lunch" while he stared dead ahead, unable to even look her in the eye.
Strongmen usually aren't, and it's nice to see that deftly demonstrated every once in a while.
Trump? Ghouliani. Two+ dozen people who’ve worked for both.
Seriously— yes you have. This is kinda the MAGA MO
Yeah no, most politicians, regardless of wing, do not spend inordinate amounts of time, over years and years, on various forums on the Internet, all using the same username, and all dropping a fuckton of information in their posts that traces inarguably back to them irl.
Hell, considering their average age and PC savvy, I'd bet most of them have never posted on a forum AT ALL.
P.S. Oh, just noticed "Ghouliani", you're one of those people, lol. I don't know how you guys can even write stuff like that without your fingers seizing up from embarrassment. Lack of self-awareness, I guess.
Sure, buddy. Somebody in 2008 spent 4 years writing posts on an obscure web forum using an account registered to your email address, just so they could have a "gotcha!" moment when you decided to run for governor over a decade later.
Or, in other words, a typical Republican.
Well, I don't think your typical republican calls themself a Black Nazi.
Dean Browning might.
They’re better at not getting caught, anyway
Not out loud in public
That's a pretty ridiculous over the top generalization. Half of the US is not Nazis, lol. This is not a country where 170 million Nazis live.
I mean, unless of course you dilute the definition of "Nazi" so much that it becomes completely meaningless.
lol. Your comment would be perfectly appropriate and ignorant in 1938 Germany. I’m sure many Germans didn’t consider themselves Nazis yet were complicit in Nazi actions and crimes. Voting for Trump/Robinson and project 2025 is no different and definitely not “meaningless”.
Please realize that ridiculous exaggeration and generalization like this has literally zero benefit, and only makes it that much harder to shift voters toward blue.
The political equivalent of the Republican party in Germany is the AfD, rated as a Nazi party and observed by the government agencies because they are a threat to democracy. I would even say that the GOP is actually right of the AfD.
Yes, this implies that nearly half the US votes for Nazis. Yes, they do.
I can definitely see the resemblance.
Came here for Uncle Ruckus, was not disappointed.
May White God Bless America. 🫡
Democrat candidate: supports unions. feeds school kids. Wants to restore women's rights.
Republican candidate: endorsed slavery, and described spying on women in public showers in porn forum
Undecided voters; 🤷
Yeah, even with single issue voters I don't see how...he seems like he's an internet creation of the worst possible candidate to run, with replies of "that's a bit too far, no one would believe that."
Not to mention the Republican candidate called trans people filth, demonized abortion after his wife had one, and was known to spend multiple nights per week at the local adult arcade
And to be fair to Trump, it seems like Robinson is comparable to MLK in the sense both of them would be deeply offended by the comparison.
Amazing comment...
In case anybody's wondering, Fox News currently has this story 27th out of their normally formatted links on their home page, with the headline "GOP gubernatorial candidate vehemently denies graphic allegations, won't exit race".
You'll need to scroll past gems like:
A couple years ago this would have been a strange headline, today not so much.
Things you will rarely read about democrats: "said batshit insane stuff on some hentai forum"
Either because a) they didn't do it, or b) were smart enough to not have the comments be tracked back to them personally
You got to have a unique pornhub username that's not the same as other accounts! I wouldn't vote for this guy based on that alone.
He sounds very Trump-like to me!
Made in his own image...
He has publicly denied the Holocaust and has made many antisemitic remarks. Is anyone surprised that he considers himself a black Nazi?
He sounds like the kind of Black person white supremacists like: one not only venal enough to carry their flag and accept their instrumental praise, but to demonstrate the sort of stupidity and savagery that reinforces their view of their racial superiority.
I love that he's going with the Shaggy defense. CNN had more receipts than an accountant in April
and this is why nowadays I use different usernames on EVERY website I register on unless I use my real name anyway and want the things I do there to be associated with me
Do you talk a lot about being a black Nazi into spying on women in public showers?
Yeah, this is the funny thing; in some bizarre future where I run in politics, and someone does discover the weird stuff I've said in NSFW channels, I'd be like; "Yes, this is embarrassing, but still isn't a big mark on my character."
There's a big gap between being into weird stuff that's basically harmless, and actively enjoying the genuine denigrating/harm of others.
No but there might still be something in my comment history that someone could use against me.
*I* heard this candidate likes to use a blanket to roll schnoodles into burritos... You simply cannot vote for them!
This is why I never comment
Imagine being this fucking weird
That’s literally anti-black black guy lol
No wonder Trump endorsed him
Yeah but other than those things he's probably an ok guy 🙄?
This feels a little too perfect and on the nose to me. It's possible that this was someone who did a whole lot of research on him and then hacked this website to inject historic posts. I'm a little worried that this will blow up in our faces.
Please didn't see this as some kind of defense of this man. He's an evil ass that needs to go away. I felt icky even typing that first paragraph, but this train has a lot of steam, and I'm worried about the tracks. I actually waited and debated a long time before posting this, cause I knew it wasn't going to be taken well by the community.
“Inject historic posts”
lol. This would be easily disproven and would be a criminal act. Republicans often make these kinds of ludicrous conspiracy claims and it always ends up being projection.
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:
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.
Can you do an SQL injection into the Internet Archive? Otherwise, I'm guessing Robinson's campaign could easily prove such a thing.
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.
