WE SEE THE FURTHER IMPACT OF THURSDAY'S CNN REPORT ON REPUBLICAN GUBERNATORY CANDIDATE MARK ROBINSON. AGAIN, NORTH CAROLINA'S SENATOR OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA SHARES HIS THOUGHTS ON THE MATTER.3 HE POSTED THIS ON X. QUOTE: IF THE COVERAGE OF MARK ROBINSON IS A TOTAL MEDIA FABRICATION, HE NEEDS TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION IMMEDIATELY. IF THE REPORTING IS TRUE, HE OWE IT TO PRESIDENT TRUMP AND EVERY REPUBLICAN TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR HIS ACTIONS AND PUT THE FUTURE OF NC AND OUR PARTY BEFORE THEMSELVES. CNN CLAIMS ROBINSON POSTED A SERIES OF RACIST AND SEXUALLY EXPLICIT POSTS ON A PORNOGRAPHIC WEBSITE STARTING IN 2008. IN ONE COMMENT HE LABELLED HIMSELF A “BLACK NAZI” AND EXPRESSED SUPPORT FOR THE RE-INTRODUCTION OF SLAVERY. ROBINSON SAYS HE DID NOT WRITE THE POSTS AND CALLS THEM OFFENSIVE TABLOID LIES. HE DID NOT DROP OUT OF THE RACE BEFORE THE THURSDAY FILING DEADLINE AT MIDNIGHT, EVEN THOUGH AT LEAST ONE REPUBLICAN SENATE CANDIDATE HAS URGED HIM TO DO SO. NORTH CAROLINA VOTERS HAVE HAD A MIXED RESPONSE TO THESE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST ROBINSON, WITH THE Lt. Governor STAYING IN THE RACE. I HAVE TALKED TO VOTERS ON BOTH SIDES TO SEE IF THAT CHANGES HOW THEY WILL VOTE IN NOVEMBER. CAN YOU TELL ME WHY YOU LIKE HIM? HE'S FOR TRUMP. HE'S PRO-AMERICAN. HE STILL GETS MY VOTE BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN PROVEN TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO HAVE BEHAVIOR THAT HAS MISSED, CONDEMNED AND DEFAMED PEOPLE FOR. AND THAT'S ONLY MORE BECAUSE THEY WOULD NEVER HAVE VOTED FOR HIM IN A MILLION YEARS. HE'S STILL A REPUBLICAN. I WILL VOTE REPUBLICAN BECAUSE REPUBLICANS HELP THE WORKING CLASS IN NORTH CAROLINA. VOTERS LIKE THOSE I'VE TALKED TO ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR BOTH PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES. IT'S BEEN A BUSY WEEK IN OUR BATTLEGROUND STATE, AND THERE ARE MORE EVENTS TO COME.

HERE IN THE TRIAD, SENATOR MARK KELLY ALSO RAN FOR THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE. ON FRIDAY, HE HELD A BREAKFAST EVENT FOR SENIOR CITIZENS IN WINSTON-SALEM. ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE, FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP RETURNS TO NORTH CAROLINA TODAY WITH A RALLY IN WILMINGTON. THIS IS HIS FIFTH VISIT SINCE PRESIDENT BIDEN DROPPED OUT OF THE RACE. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAYS MARK ROBINSON, WHO WAS PREVIOUSLY PRESENT AT TRUMP'S VISITS TO NORTH CAROLINA, WILL NOT BE PRESENT AT TODAY'S RALLY. TRUMP'S VOTER JD VANCE, WHO HAS RANKED IN THE 20TH YEAR
