The North Carolina Republican candidate linked to pro-Nazi and slavery comments made on a porn site is married to a woman successfully sued by an organization that helps little girls sell cookies, a new report shows.

Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson's wife Yolanda, 56, has faced court battles over questionable bookkeeping practices — one of which officials say cost the state of North Carolina more than $130,000 — and a bounced check sent to a local Girl Scouts group, the New York Times reported Wednesday.

“The Girl Scouts," said Western Carolina University political science professor Chris Cooper. "How do you get in trouble with the Girl Scouts?” ...

Fellow Republicans sought to get Donald Trump to push for embattled North Carolina gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson to drop out of the 2024 race, but were met with "dead silence," according to a new report.

Robinson was already in a tough place in the race for governor when a CNN report dropped alleging he referred to himself as a Black Nazi and made other inappropriate comments on a porn site years ago. He has denied the reporting.

Several Republicans, including from Robinson's own team, reportedly sought to get Trump to drop the man he endorsed....

More outrageous past comments have come back to haunt embattled North Carolina gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson.

The Republican lieutenant governor was busted last week for posting X-rated anecdotes and calling himself a "black NAZI" on a lewd online forum years ago, but The Bulwark has learned that around that same time, Robinson also posted eye-popping comments on smaller political websites.

Mark Robinson, the Donald Trump-endorsed candidate for North Carolina governor whose purported rants about being a "Black NAZI" on a pornography forum were recently unearthed by CNN, is reportedly not losing support among many North Carolina evangelical Christians.

Although they are publicly keeping a distance between themselves and the controversial GOP candidate, they are nonetheless expressing confidence that he will govern as a right-wing Christian should he win this fall's election....

Embattled gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson reportedly suffered another blow on Sunday after a "mass resignation" of his staff.

Robinson has been under fire since a recent CNN report exposed purported comments the North Carolina GOP candidate allegedly made on a porn site many years ago. The report claimed that Robinson had identified himself as a "Black Nazi," as well as a "perv." Earlier Sunday, the North Carolina Republican Party incurred the wrath of conservative columnist Kathleen Parker for surprisingly continuing to back Robinson despite the avalanche of revelations.

Later in the day, Emmy-winning reporter Michael Hyland reported that Robinson's senior adviser, campaign manager, finance director, and deputy campaign manager "have all resigned." ...

Former President Donald Trump in the past had repeatedly praised North Carolina gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson as a "star" in the Republican Party.

However, after CNN exposed Robinson's past writings on a pornography website in which he described himself as a "Black NAZI," said he would prefer to have Adolf Hitler leading America than former President Barack Obama, listed the benefits of bringing back slavery, and boasted of engaging in a wide range of sexual degeneracies, Trump is apparently getting cold feet about being associated with him.

Axios reports that Trump's campaign is "alarmed by the idea that North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson's political baggage and incendiary rhetoric will be a drag on Trump's prospects in the crucial swing state on Election Day."...
