“Black Nazi” Who? Trump Feigns Ignorance of GOP Candidate in N.C.
Donald Trump is no longer simply trying to distance himself from North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson. Now, the former president is outright pretending he doesn’t know anything about the scandal-plagued gubernatorial candidate.At a campaign stop in the Tar Heel state on Monday, Politico asked Trump whether he would still urge his supporters to vote for Robinson. “I’m not familiar with the race right now. I haven’t looked, I haven’t seen it,” Trump said.Within the span of eight months, Trump has gone from endorsing Robinson, calling him “Martin Luther King on steroids,” to dodging questions about him.Last month, a bombshell CNN report alleged that Robinson had left inflammatory and lewd comments on a pornography website’s message board, including calling himself a “Black Nazi.” Trump has neglected to withdraw his endorsement of Robinson, or really address the scandal at all.Still, as Trump has sought to drum up votes in North Carolina, Robinson has been notably absent and hasn’t appeared with the Republican presidential nominee since August.
