Mark Robinson, the Republican candidate for governor of North Carolina, has placed military and veterans’ issues at the heart of his political messaging.

“I commit myself every day to stand up for these folks,” Robinson said in a video posted in December 2022. “We said when we were running that we were fighting to make North Carolina the gold standard for veterans’ care. And that’s not just a saying that we take lightly.”

One of Robinson’s few statutory roles in his current post as lieutenant governor is to sit on North Carolina’s Military Affairs Commission, a state body that advises on exactly the sorts of veterans’ issues that Robinson talks so much about. And yet records from the MAC show that Robinson has not attended a single meeting of the group in his four years as lieutenant governor.

All the local news outlets have been covering this as their top story today. The upcoming stories must be pretty bad for a large number of Republican leaders in our state to be urging Mark Robinson to suspend his campaign in the past 24 hours and allow them to select another gubernatorial candidate.

Apparently there are two news stories about to come out. On CNN there will be coverage of Mark Robinson calling himself the "black Hitler" and spouting all sorts of insane antisemitic stuff. Possibly tied into the second story below.

The Carolina Journal, a conservative publication, will be coming out with another story about all of Robinson's “activity on adult websites in 2000s.”

A massive Mark Robinson scandal is about to drop—and people can’t wait to see what it is (update)
Robinson is North Carolina’s Lieutenant Governor and the Republican nominee in the state’s upcoming gubernatorial election.
