The Harris campaign has issued a statement questioning former President Donald Trump's claim of being unaware of the Mark Robinson scandal in North Carolina. Trump had told reporters that he was not familiar with the situation, prompting the campaign to express skepticism. The statement emphasized that it seems implausible for Trump to have missed news about his chosen gubernatorial candidate referring to himself as a 'Nazi.'
Despite Trump's two visits to North Carolina since the scandal emerged, he continues to support Robinson, even as others close to Robinson are distancing themselves. The campaign spokesperson suggested that Trump's backing of Robinson stems from a belief that Robinson is a devoted supporter of the MAGA movement and is aligned with Trump's divisive and extreme agenda.
It is noted that Trump had endorsed Robinson earlier in the year and had previously spoken highly of the lieutenant governor on multiple occasions. The Harris campaign's statement implies that the Trump-Robinson partnership will face opposition in the upcoming November elections, with a prediction that North Carolina and the nation will move away from their ticket.
