'Very concerning': Internet stunned at 'wild' report of Republican's online comments

Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson (R-NC) faced ridicule online Thursday after a bombshell CNN report found dozens of disturbing comments he was accused of making on a pornography website’s message board.

"Slavery is not bad," Robinson reportedly wrote. "Some people need to be slaves. I wish they would bring it (slavery) back. I would certainly buy a few."

He also reportedly called himself a “black NAZI,” said he enjoyed watching transgender pornography, and referred to himself as a “perv.”

Robinson has denied all of the allegations using words from Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, claiming it was a "high-tech lynching."

The scandal earned swift condemnation — and mockery — across the internet.

Chad Pergram, senior Congressional correspondent for Fox News, reported that National Republican Congressional Committee chair and GOP North Carolina Rep. Richard Hudson called the allegations "very concerning."

"And my hope is that, the governor can reassure the people of North Carolina that the allegations aren't true.

"I Doubt It" podcaster Brittany Page took a screen capture of one piece of the report in which Robinson said in an archived message that he is a "perve." Page called it "classic."

Quibi creator Mike Beauvais was shocked that Robinson used his real name on an adult site's message board. He called it "wild."

Sarafina Chitika, one of the spokespeople for the Kamala Harris campaign, posted a photo of Donald Trump with Robinson, noting that the two men "have been all over the trail together this cycle. Trump elevated and endorsed this man at every opportunity."

VP of Research at the Center for American Progress Action, Will Ragland, pointed to photos of conservative North Carolina Republican Rep. Virginia Foxx with Robinson and noted she "spent months accusing Democrats and Gaza protestors of being antisemites at congressional hearings. 'Every time he speaks it's great.'"

Noah Rothman, senior writer at National Review, wrote: "Man, that Trump sure can pick 'em.

Jonathan Chait, writer for New York magazine, wrote: "I have to admit, 'He's like Martin Luther King times two!' is a pretty funny line by Trump," referring to Robinson.

Jeet Heer, a writer at The Nation, jabbed: "You can't force someone to drop out for being a mainstream Republican."
