Friend, 

Well, it was another banner day for team Trump. We’re sure you caught the bombshell CNN story on the guy Trump said is like “MLK on steroids.” But just in case you didn’t, we’ll recap it here, because it’s one of our favorite stories of the season.

CNN dug around for weeks and came up with a diamond. They found that Mark Robinson, Trump’s pick for governor of North Carolina, uses the same username a lot. That means his Twitter, his Pinterest, and even his porn forum usernames are all the exact same. Yes, you read that correctly. Trump’s pick for governor of North Carolina is active on multiple porn forums. But it's more… how he's active that's bonkers. 

You’re probably wondering what he goes on there to talk about. Surprisingly, it’s not all what you think. Yes, he does chat with his fellow "enthusiasts" about adult videos, but he also managed to stray into politics. Quite often, from what it looks like. As you can imagine, his comments on this forum weren’t exactly things you’d hear on Meet the Press.

No, he mainly focused on making sure everybody on this forum knew that he considers himself a “black Nazi.” Yes, he actually said this to people on a pornography forum. Then, just in case they didn’t get the message, he backed it up with his disturbing inner thoughts. He mentioned how he wished President Obama was assassinated. He talked about wanting to be a member of the KKK. He mentioned how he thinks that “slavery is not bad” and that he wanted to own slaves himself. He actually bragged about peeping on women in locker room showers. 

How could Trump not endorse this guy?

Should we really be this surprised? We saw the warning signs. He quoted Hitler a couple months back. He amplifies every single MAGA conspiracy on Twitter. And let’s not forget, he spends a good amount of his time hanging out with a convicted felon and known sexual predator. This was just a story waiting to happen. 

And how does one really know Robinson’s a Trumpie? Because he’s lying about this, of course. He’s taking a page out of the ol’ Trump playbook. Instead of fessing up and dropping out of the race, he’s just saying it never happened and running his campaign the exact same way. And in case you were wondering, Trump’s doing the exact same thing. 

America doesn't need this weird racist garbage. America doesn't need the vile divisive hate Mark Robinson spews. America needs somebody who tackles problems. America also needs somebody who has never endorsed a Nazi. Thankfully, Vice President Harris meets those qualifications. Help us make sure she wins in November >>
