4 senior campaign officials for Mark Robinson step down in wake of CNN report
Source: CNN
Four top operatives on Mark Robinson’s campaign for North Carolina governor have stepped down, the campaign announced on Sunday.
General consultant and senior advisor Conrad Pogorzelski III, campaign manager Chris Rodriguez, finance director Heather Whillier and deputy campaign manager Jason Rizk have stepped down from the campaign.
The announcement from Robinson’s campaign comes in the aftermath of a CNN report uncovering inflammatory comments the lieutenant governor and Republican nominee for governor made on a pornography website message board over a decade ago. The lewd comments included Robinson describing himself as a “black Nazi” and how he used to go “peeping” on women at a public gym when he was 14 years old.
Robinson has a long history of making inflammatory statements but the newly unearthed message board posts go a step beyond.
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. Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign has also looked to leverage Robinson’s association with former President Donald Trump in a new ad.

about TLC plates (thin layer chromatography) and did one more "preview" and saw your OP.... 
Today is one of those rare Sunday "news dump" days.
And I *most certainly* appreciate your legal knowledge and acumen!
The gift that keeps on giving.
I know where to get the big batches -
How quickly they forget 2015/2016!
now grifting on the lecture circuit and hurling barbs about life within his fictional universe.
He coulda been the next Uncle Clarence.
Just... eeww. 
And the thing is, once you've read that creepy, gross description of what he did, or more likely what he wanted to do, you really can't think of anything else whenever his name comes up. So do you want to think about that whenever the governor of your state is in the news, and that behavior in association with him? If you worked for him or had any contact with him would you wonder if he was thinking about doing whatever that was to you? And of course there's the Black Nazi thing and the fact that he's into trans porn while objecting to rights for trans people. He's about as nasty a character as I've ever heard of in politics. The GOP sure knows how to attract all the best people....
for "seditious conspiracy", among other charges.
Maybe the "soft spoken" Jim Crow was good for black America guy whose District got all blowed up by Hurricane Ian?
