Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance recently addressed the controversy surrounding North Carolina gubernatorial nominee Mark Robinson and the porn forum posts that have surfaced. When asked about Robinson's denial of involvement in the posts, Vance declined to take a definitive stance, stating, 'I don’t not believe him; I don’t believe him. I just think that you have to let these things sometimes play out in the court of public opinion.' Vance emphasized the importance of allowing the situation to unfold and for further investigation to take place.
Robinson, who currently serves as the state lieutenant governor and is the official Republican nominee for governor in North Carolina, has been at the center of scrutiny following the revelation of the controversial forum posts. Vance highlighted that ultimately, it is up to Robinson and the people of North Carolina to determine his suitability for the governorship. Vance expressed his commitment to focusing on Robinson's candidacy and the decision-making process of the North Carolina electorate.
Former President Donald Trump also made an appearance in North Carolina, holding a rally in Wilmington. Notably, Robinson was not invited to the event by the Trump campaign, and Trump did not mention the lieutenant governor in his remarks. The absence of Robinson at the rally and the lack of acknowledgment from Trump underscore the ongoing discussions and uncertainties surrounding Robinson's candidacy in light of the recent developments.
