'That’s what men do': Trump's MAGA fans defend 'Black Nazi' Robinson's internet comments

0

In interviews with supporters of Donald Trump who turned for the former president's rally in Wilmington, North Carolina on Saturday, more than a few of the MAGA faithful admitted they don't find gubernatorial nominee Mark Robinson's frequent posting on pornographic website to be a deal breaker and they are standing by him.

Earlier in the week CNN dropped a bombshell report tracking comments the already controversial Robinson made on the "Nude Africa" adult website that included calling himself a "Black Nazi," stating he wanted to own slaves and descriptions of sexual acts he enjoys including those with his sister-in-law.

With Trump ignoring the controversy during his speech, some North Carolina followers of the former president claimed they are sticking with Robinson just like they are standing by Trump despite his conviction on 34 felony counts in Manhattan.

As 70-year-old Bob Judson explained, "I didn’t put much credence in it. We’ve all done things in our past that we’re sorry for. Some of the things are crazy," before adding, “I mean if we just went on that, we wouldn’t be here for Trump, would we?”

Trump rallygoer Connie Wittmer, after having some of Robinson's comments on the porn site described to her, admitted, “That disturbs me,” but was noncommittal over whether it will change her vote.

Kirk Giles, 50, asserted that is is kind of a guy thing.

“There’s not a man alive that’s never looked at porn or did something stupid on porn because we’re men. That’s what men do," he admitted.

Pressed on Robertson's praise of Nazism, he offered, "There’s a lot of men that say some stupid stuff on those porn sites. The thing is, you say some stupid stuff just to get attention. People strive for attention. There’s attention-seekers out there.”

According to 34-year-old Democrat Rich Smith of Wilmington, he's not surprised Trump's MAGA fans have no problem with Robinson.

“In this day and age, you’re kind of like, ‘Oh, a terrible news story?’ They’ll just says it’s fake news, and move on from there. And nothing will change," he told the Post.
