Revelations continue to drop about North Carolina gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson with the reveal his email address is registered with sex cheating website Ashley Madison.
Robinson, the state’s current lieutenant governor, was reported earlier today to have made a series of crude and concerning remarks on pornographic forum Nude Africa where he called himself a ‘perv’ and ‘black Nazi.’
Now, an anonymous advisor to Robinson has revealed that an email address belonging to Robinson on the site is his, per Politico. Robinson has been married to wife Yolanda Hill Robinson since 1990.
Ashley Madison, which was established in 2001, drew people in with their intriguing slogan, ‘life is short, have an affair’ with over 37 million unfaithful spouses taking the bait – creating profiles on the site to link up and cheat on their partners.
It adds to one of the findings of the original story, which showed Robinson as having an account on the dating site Adult Friend Finder with a bio that said he was ‘looking to get away from life’.

The Robinson campaign has yet to respond to this allegation, though the candidate himself remains steadfast that he’s not dropping out.
Robinson, who is still on the ballot in North Carolina but trails Democrat Josh Stein by 13 points in a poll released Thursday, denies the reports and claims they are all ‘outright lies’ or only ‘half truths.’
CNN released a damning report earlier Thursday that could spell the end of Robinson’s bid to take residence in the North Carolina governor’s mansion.
Members of Trump’s campaign are now urging Robinson to withdraw before it’s too late to replace him with another GOP candidate, according to a Carolina Journal report.
Anonymous sources say Robinson is no longer welcome at Trump events or those of his running mate Sen. J.D. Vance.
He was slated for a speaking slot at Vance’s rally in Raleigh, North Carolina on Wednesday, but his office announced he would no longer attend because he tested positive for COVID, according to the report.
Vance’s campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment on why Robinson was absent from the rally on Wednesday.
Robinson has previously attended Trump rallies. He spoke at one in Greensboro, North Carolina on March 2 this year.

In denying the reports, Robinson compared himself to conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, who is also black, and said he was a ‘victim of high tech lynching.’
National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) Chairman Richard Hudson wants to see Robinson come out with a more vehement denial with proof that he was not the one who made the posts.
‘The allegations are very concerning,’ Hudson said in a statement. ‘He says they’re not true. I think he needs to assure the people of the state in more detail that they aren’t true.’
Robinson seemed almost flippant in his response to the latest blockbuster report, writing: ‘Well, guys, the news media is at it again.’
‘My opponent is at it again,’ he continued. ‘You all have seen the half truths and outright lies of Josh Stein on these ads over and over again and now a story, a story leaked by him to CNN, is appearing now, let me reassure you the things that you will see in that story.’
‘You know my words, you know my character, and you know that I have been completely transparent in this race and before. Folks this race. Right now, our opponents are desperate to shift the focus here from the substantive issues and focus on what you are concerned with to salacious tabloid trash. We cannot allow that to happen, folks,’ he said.
He accused Democrats and the media of wanting ‘to focus on salacious tabloid lies.’
‘We’re not going to let them do that. We are staying in this race,’ the Lt. Gov. assured.

He also went on CNN on Thursday afternoon to reiterate his innocence.
‘This is not us. These are not our words. And this is not anything that is characteristic of me,’ Robinson said on air.
‘I’m not going to get into the minutia of how somebody manufactured this, these salacious tabloid lies.’
The latest KFile investigation with CNN found that Robinson posted several concerning comments on the pornographic website Nude Africa.
This included expressing support for reinstating slavery and, unprovoked, writing: ‘I’m a black NAZI!’
Posting in the forum Robinson also revealed unfiltered thoughts on issues like race, gender and abortion.
In October 2010, Robinson wrote: ‘Slavery is not bad. Some people need to be slaves. I wish they would bring it (slavery) back. I would certainly buy a few.’
And in March 2012, the now-Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina wrote that he preferred former Nazi Germany leader Adolf Hitler over the leadership in Washington during the administration of President Barack Obama.
‘I’d take Hitler over any of the sh*t that’s in Washington right now!’ he wrote.
The outrageous story comes courtesy of Louis Money, an employee at Gents Video & News (pictured under a different name in 2012) in Greensboro, who is now sensationalizing his accusations in a music video for a song called ‘The Lt. Governor Owes Me Money’ by his band Trailer Park Orchestra
Louis Money – real name – claimed Robinson would come to a sex store several times a week to watch videos. Money last met Robinson in November of 2022, when the lieutenant governor said hello and stopped to pose for a photo, he claims
Stein’s campaign released a statement claiming the latest is further proof that ‘Mark Robinson is completely unfit to be Governor.’
And the Democratic Governors Association’s Deputy Communications Director Izzi Levy provided a comment to DailyMail.com saying the bombshell report shows the candidate is ‘unhinged, dangerous, and completely unfit.’
‘Now, as many Republicans warn against the damage Robinson would do as governor, it’s clear that the stakes have never been higher and we must keep our foot on the gas to defeat him in November,’ Levy added.
Many of Robinson’s comments on Nude Africa stand in contrast to his public stances on issues such as abortion and transgender rights.
Robinson has resisted calls to withdraw and denies the latest revelations after other claims – including visiting a porn shop nearly daily and running a sketchy daycare with his wife – have muddied the waters of his bid to take outgoing Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper’s seat.
A report earlier this month from The Assembly revealed that Robinson was a regular visitor to an adult video store in the 1990s, which the campaign has also vehemently denied.
A total of six men who worked at or frequented Gents Video & News in Greensboro remember Robinson as a jovial presence at the shop who came to watch videos about five nights a week after his shift at Papa Johns.
A former sex shop employee named Louis Money said Robinson would even bring free pizza and tell jokes in the style of ’80s comic Andrew ‘Dice’ Clay.
A spokesman for Robinson strongly denied the claims, telling WRAL : ‘It’s a categorical ‘no’ to all the ridiculous allegations made by The Assembly based on the word of a man with a long history of drug dealing and criminal charges who will do anything for free publicity and free pizza’.
Robinson is known as a perpetuator of conspiracy theories and has made a number of anti-Semitic, homophobic and sexist comments before reports of the porn forum posts emerged on Thursday.
Even with that, the Lt. Gov. received Trump’s endorsement. The former president called Robinson a ‘Martin Luther King on steroids.’
