North Carolina Lt. Gov. North Carolina Republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson called himself a "black NAZI" and said "slavery is not bad" in years-old comments on an online pornographic forum, CNN reported Thursday. The Trump campaign denied it was pushing Robinson to withdraw. Robinson in Thursday's video signaled he would not leave the race in North Carolina, where the first absentee ballots are set to be sent out Friday. Recent polls on the race for North Carolina's top job show Stein leading Robinson, at times by wide margins.
