GOP candidate Mark Robinson, who has been labeled as a “Black Nazi,” must withdraw from the governor race to prevent Kamala Harris from winning in North Carolina.

The recent revelation about the North Carolina gubernatorial race by election expert Larry Sabato has shifted the state’s political landscape. Sabato has moved the race from leaning Democratic to likely Democratic due to new information surfacing about the GOP candidate Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, further damaging his chances this election cycle.

Given the current circumstances, it is clear that Robinson stands little chance of success. In light of the damaging information revealed, he should consider stepping down from the race, especially after missing the withdrawal deadline on Thursday.

The recent scandal involving Robinson’s offensive remarks, including self-identifying as a “black Nazi” and expressing disturbing views on slavery and pornography, adds to a long list of disqualifying statements made by the candidate over the years.

Despite previous controversies, Robinson had chosen to stay in the race, potentially affecting voter turnout. His history of offensive remarks directed towards various groups, including women, gay individuals, and African Americans, has raised serious concerns about his candidacy.

The North Carolina Republican Party’s lack of action in addressing Robinson’s behavior has drawn criticism and highlighted the need for him to withdraw from the race to avoid further embarrassment and damage to the party’s reputation.

Robinson’s track record of offensive and inappropriate statements, including Holocaust denial and antisemitic rhetoric, should disqualify him from holding public office. His continued candidacy risks tarnishing the reputation of the party and its leadership, including former President Trump.

With the election approaching, it is essential for Robinson to step aside in the best interest of both the party and the state. Continuing his campaign will only serve to undermine the GOP’s chances in North Carolina and provide an advantage to the Democratic Party.

It is crucial for Robinson to consider the greater good and withdraw from the race immediately. Failure to do so may have serious repercussions for the party and its electoral prospects.

Trump currently holds a slight lead in North Carolina, but this could change if Robinson remains in the race. To secure a victory, the GOP must address the Robinson issue promptly and ensure a strong and credible candidate represents the party in the gubernatorial race.
