North Carolina lawmakers are responding to the scandal involving gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson, who has come under scrutiny for his controversial comments on an adult website. The scandal has sparked reactions from both Republican and Democratic representatives in the state.
Republican Rep. Greg Murphy expressed concern that the controversy surrounding Robinson could negatively impact other Republican candidates in North Carolina. He emphasized the importance of candidates focusing on issues that resonate with American voters.
Democratic Rep. Deborah Ross criticized Robinson, stating that he was unfit to be governor even before the scandal broke. She reiterated her belief that the recent revelations further underscore his unsuitability for the position.
Democratic Rep. Jeff Jackson, who is vying for the state's attorney general position, suggested that the fallout from Robinson's scandal could have far-reaching implications, potentially influencing multiple elections in North Carolina, including the presidential race.
Republican Rep. Chuck Edwards urged voters to carefully consider the allegations against Robinson. He raised the possibility that Robinson may be a victim of 'social media spoofing,' speculating that foreign entities like the Russians or Iranians could be involved.
