Crowd Boos Reporter for Asking JD Vance If Trump Campaign Still Endorses Mark Robinson

A crowd in North Carolina relentlessly booed a reporter who asked Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance about Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson. Robinson, an already controversial figure, was endorsed by former President Donald Trump to be governor of North Carolina. The lieutenant governor’s extreme rhetoric was no obstacle as he handily won the GOP primary. However, last week CNN published an explosive report about comments he made in a forum on a porn site called Nude Africa. In various posts, Robinson described himself as a “black NAZI,” said, “Slavery is not bad,” and wrote in 2012 that he’d “take Hitler over any of the sh*t that’s in Washington right now!” Robinson made the Hitler comment when Barack Obama was president. The lieutenant governor denies he made the remarks. Trump has yet to speak publicly about the matter and did not mention Robinson during a rally in Wilmington, North Carolina on Saturday. During a rally in Charlotte on Monday, the Ohio senator was asked by a reporter if the campaign still stands by the embattled lieutenant governor. “Does the Trump campaign still endorse Mark Robinson?” she asked. The reporter continued to speak but was drowned out by the sound of jeers and boos from the audience. Welcome to Mediaite, THE site for news and opinion on the intersection of media and politics.
