'Major drama' as MAGA candidate cancels events amid potentially explosive story: reporter

Trump-backed North Carolina gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson has reportedly canceled his campaign events for Thursday amid what could be an explosive story.

Independent journalist Bryan Anderson, a former North Carolina Statehouse reporter for the Associated Press, brings word that there is "major drama" brewing in the North Carolina gubernatorial race as his sources indicate that a CNN report about the candidate "is coming" in the near future.

"I have a strong sense of what the news will be, but until sources speak on record and/or on background, I can't share what it is," Anderson added.

Separately, the Carolina Journal reports that North Carolina Republicans are already putting pressure on Robinson to drop out before the story is even released.

"Sources with direct knowledge have spoken with Carolina Journal on the condition of anonymity and said that Robinson is under pressure from staff and members of the Trump campaign to withdraw from the governor’s race due to the nature of the story, which they say involves activity on adult websites in 2000s," the publication writes. "According to sources, Robinson has resisted withdrawing and privately denies the story."

Robinson has drawn controversy for his multiple inflammatory social media posts, including one where he accused Martin Luther King, Jr. of being a "communist" and another in which he accused pop star Beyoncé of being a "devil worshipper" who is sending her fans "on a fast track to hell."
