Republicans are blaming artificial intelligence (AI) to maintain their support of North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson (R) after yesterdays bombshell report of his porn website comments from 2008 to 2012. His comments declared himself a Black Nazi, expressed racist sentiments, admitted to spying on women in showers, and declared his love of transgender porn and threesomes with his sister-in-law.Democrats, however, are tying Robinson to former President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly endorsed and praised him. Democrats say the bad news could sink Republicans chances in the state. Related GOP governor candidate said same-sex marriage is an ungodly form of wickedness He has also written that homosexuality leads to PEDOPHILLA and the end of civilization. When asked about the report, out White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre replied, Antisemitism is never acceptable. It is wrong. It is wrong. And so, we have to be really clear about that. Elected leaders have to be really clear about that. They need to be responsible about calling that out.

Robinson denied making the comments and insinuated that they were somehow AI-generated. His claim is likely a lie since its unheard of for the technology to create online comments timestamped from over a decade ago while using his private accounts.Look, Im not going to get into the minutia about how somebody manufactured these salacious tabloid lies, but I can tell you this: Theres been over one million dollars spent on me through AI by a billionaires son whos bound and determined to destroy me, Robinson told CNN reporter Andrew Kaczynski yesterday. The things that people can do with the Internet now is incredible. But what I can tell you is this: Again, these are not my words. This is simply tabloid trash being used as a distraction from the substantive issues that the people of this state are facing. Here's Mark Robinson on @CNN claiming he's being framed, insisting that all the bizarre things he wrote on "Nude Africa" were generated by AI. AI is powerful, but it cant rewrite internet history from 15 years ago. Its the same nonsense we saw this summer from Laura Loomer pic.twitter.com/fcgfXXi1ub Mike Nellis (@MikeNellis) September 19, 2024In a statement released yesterday evening, the state Republican Party said Robinsons denial wont stop the Left from trying to demonize him via personality attacks because if voters are focused on policy, Republicans win on Election Day.pic.twitter.com/5qgxvQd1UO NCGOP (@NCGOP) September 20, 2024 Rep. Greg Murphy (R-NC) also echoed the comments, saying, What I read was very concerning, but given the degree of electronic manipulation that can happen these days with AI, with everything else, who the hell knows whats true and whats not.However, Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC) told The Hill that the details about Robinsons comments were not good. Similarly, Rep. Richard Hudson (R-NC), chair of the National Republican Congressional Committee, called the report very concerning.My hope is that [the] lieutenant governor can reassure the people of North Carolina that the allegations arent true, Hudson said. He said theyre not true. I think he needs to have the opportunity to explain to the people in North Carolina exactly how these allegations arent true. Meanwhile, Rep. Jeff Jackson (D-NC) said the public is seeing an implosion by this candidate, the likes of which weve never seen in North Carolina, frankly.Normally someone running for governor, even if they turned out to underperform, wouldnt be someone who would impact the rest of the ticket, but this isnt normal,he continued, adding, He could swing a whole bunch of elections, including the presidential election.Republican former congressman Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, who has endorsed Harris, told CNN, This is devastating from a campaign perspective. Obviously, hell lose North Carolina. But the Trump campaign ought to be very concerned because if there are people disheartened by him, theyll either not show up or maybe theyll vote for Kamala. Robinson was already polling far behind his Democratic opponent, state Attorney General Josh Stein, before the scandal broke. Political pundits say that the new wave of bad press could cause a reverse coattails effect that drags down Trumps and other Republicans chances of winning the state.I think youre going to see a bunch of Republicans who strongly endorsed Robinson start to walk it back, Jackson told CNN. Robinson was the person you wanted at your fundraiser if you were a Republican in North Carolina for the last several years. They all have photos with him. They all heaped praise as soon as he started running. I think theyre going to have to start walking that back.The Harris-Walz campaign quickly posted numerous social media posts reminding voters of former President Donald Trumps repeated appearances with and endorsement of Robinson. Trump called him better than [Black civil rights icon] Martin Luther King and Martin Luther King on steroids.Best friends pic.twitter.com/baS5sRfzIo Kamala HQ (@KamalaHQ) September 19, 2024 On Friday afternoon, the Harris campaign posted a new 30-second political ad highlighting Robinsons comments against abortion and his belief that the procedure is only for women who cant keep their skirts on.New ad were now airing across North Carolina https://t.co/NrvGNqaAYo pic.twitter.com/ECIkYpc5w6 Kamala HQ (@KamalaHQ) September 20, 2024The Trump campaign issued a statement that didnt mention Robinson or the accusations.President Trumps campaign is focused on winning the White House and saving this country. North Carolina is an vital part of that plan, spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said in the statement. We are confident that as voters compare the Trump record of a strong economy, low inflation, a secure border, and safe streets, with the failures of Biden-Harris, then President Trump will win the Tarheel State once again. We will not take our eye off the ball.This is not good for them for a very close state, he continued. It could bring down some of the enthusiasm. I mean, this is like a gut punch to anybody whos a Republican in North Carolina to learn this. In a race thats gonna be so close, any kind of an attack on motivation can make a huge difference.Robinson has previously said that he considers LGBTQ+ people as filthy demons who mentally rape children. Among hismany anti-LGBTQ+ statements, he has called homosexuality an abominable sin, hascompared LGBTQ+ people to cow dung, and Satanic demons, and said trans peopleshould defecate on public street corners outsiderather than using bathrooms matching their gender identity.
