Republican North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson is officially staying in the race for governor after the midnight deadline for him to drop out of the race passed.
Robinson was pressured from members of his own party to drop out of the state’s gubernatorial race, people familiar with the matter told WRAL on Thursday, following a CNN report that said he made lewd and divisive comments on a pornographic website.

North Carolina’s have no shame if they vote this in office
The state of North Carolina should be a shameful state, I would never live in that racist state. Racism has no bounds with that state.
We’re not that bad. Come to Charlotte, we’re a pretty progressive city.
It’s not all of North Carolina. We are a great state with some great people. Just like every other state we do have our issues. Just hoping the people vote blue like me.
I live in North Carolina and I wasn’t going to vote for him even before this info came out! The comments he’s made regarding women and his overall repulsive behavior was enough for me!
If he wants to stick by his story that it wasn’t him who made these posts then he should sue CNN. But we all know he won’t. Absolute pervert keep all children away.
I am so deathly afraid for the people of North Carolina if this man becomes their governor. I can’t believe this is happening. I can’t believe that he could possibly be elected. it’s absolutely horrific and I hope everybody is as horrified as I am.
He was already trailing substantially because of all the other stuff he had said and done. This story is sensational, but it shouldn’t be giving anyone any insight into his character that wasn’t already obvious.
Who was on the porn site to read the message board?
CNN, the same ones that posted the comments. Russia Russia Russia
Why would he drop out?? He has nothing to lose! When he loses he and his wife are looking at prison time…BIG TIME!! They will also be without a paycheck!! Wonder how much he has saved over the past 4 years??
This is the very type of candidate that Donald Trump loves to endorse. Anyone who thinks Mark Robinson is different from Laura Loomer needs his or her head examined.
Let him stay on the ballot. He won’t win.
😂 it’s all Bs it just shows how scared the Democrats really are
WRAL you’re trying to fuel the fire
stay in their Mark!
MAGA brings us only the best..
I am still voting for him.
Tells us all we need to know about you.
No worst of the crap Trump says
Robinson is just representing true Christian conservative family values…hatred, pro-Nazism, anti-America and cheating on your spouse.
All people just need to not vote for him. Let him stay, show him at the polls what we will not tolerate in representation of our state! Vote blue! 💙💙💙
I think it is just another hit job in a Very well favored Republican. Just like they do to Trump
He is not well favored. He was ten points behind before all this happened.
How can WRAL claim this stuff on being independently verified, more Democrat propaganda . RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA
So sad that wral deletes any comments in support of Robinson and only allows lies and hateful comments
ANYONE THAT BELEAVES ANYTHING CNN SAYS OR DOES ARE SOFT IN THE HEAD.
