Mark Robinson's Top Staff in the Lieutenant Governor's Office Plan to Resign
Briefly

The resignation of several senior staff members from Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson's office follows disturbing claims about offensive comments he allegedly made on a porn site. These comments, including identifying as a black NAZI and making unsettling admissions about voyeuristic behavior, have drawn considerable scrutiny and led many of his allies to pressure him either to produce evidence refuting these claims or withdraw from the gubernatorial race.
Mr. Robinson has hired new campaign manager Matt Hurley, a seasoned strategist who assured county chairs of forthcoming staff additions, as he continues to navigate the fallout from the CNN report. Despite his denials of writing offensive posts, the Republican Governors Association has halted ad support in North Carolina, further complicating his re-election strategy amid calls for transparency and accountability from within the party.
