CNN —Four top operatives on Republican Mark Robinson’s campaign for North Carolina governor have stepped down, the campaign announced on Sunday, days after a CNN report uncovered inflammatory comments he made on a porn website.
Robinson has a long history of making inflammatory statements but the newly unearthed message board posts go a step beyond.
In an interview with CNN on Thursday, Robinson repeatedly denied that he made the comments on Nude Africa.
Since the CNN report, some North Carolina Republicans have moved to pressure Robinson to drop out – though the state deadline for him to officially withdraw as a candidate has passed.
Neither the Robinson campaign nor Nude Africa responded to inquiries from CNN.
