The Republican nominee for governor in North Carolina has denied writing the posts, which have upended his campaign in the battleground state

Another eyebrow-raising post has surfaced purportedly from an account linked to far-right North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, following explosive reporting this week from CNN's KFILE that he praised slavery and called himself a "Black Nazi" on a pornographic message board years before entering politics.

The state's current lieutenant governor allegedly made comments more than a decade ago that included "peeping" on women and wanting to reinstate slavery, according to a CNN investigative report

Mark Robinson found himself in the midst of scandal this week after CNN reported on pro-slavery and anti-Semitic comments he made on an adult website. But new details are emerging suggesting Robinson has a unique affinity for Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler.

In a post on social media Thursday, Robinson denied what he called “salacious tabloid trash” and vowed to stay in the race.
