Vance says allegations against Mark Robinson 'aren't necessarily reality'
Sen. JD Vance reacted to the bombshell report about Mark Robinson, the Republican candidate for governor in North Carolina, saying that the allegations against Robinson "aren't necessarily reality."
LEESPORT, Pa. — Sen. JD Vance on Saturday reacted for the first time to the bombshell report about Mark Robinson, the Republican candidate for governor in North Carolina, saying that the allegations against Robinson “aren’t necessarily reality.”
“The allegations are pretty far out there, of course, but I know that allegations aren’t necessarily reality,” Vance, R-Ohio, said of Robinson’s reported comments on a porn site.
In Vance's interview with NBC Philadelphia, he said it is “ultimately up to Mark Robinson and North Carolina whether he’s going to be their governor and whether he wants to stay in the race.”
Robinson years ago allegedly made comments on a porn website in which he called himself a “black NAZI,” expressed support for slavery and referred to Martin Luther King Jr. by a racial slur, among other remarks, according to a CNN report published Thursday.
Some members of his own party have expressed concern over the allegations. The North Carolina Republican Party on Thursday issued a statement reiterating that Robinson has “categorically denied the allegations.”
