Ohio, the center of republicans evidenced free rumors about migrants. Theyre eating local Cats And Dogs. Im going to be joined live hi, this hour by the Republican Congressman who represents springfield, ohio In Congress for his thoughts on this entire saga, Plus A Brand New look at The State of the president ial race thanks to an avalanche of data weve gotten over the last 24 hours. That only does it give us a snapshot of how Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are seen by voters across the country and also gives us new insight into how voters in one crucial battleground see the election, right now. And leading this hour, an exclusive investigation by cnns kfile is rocking the political world. Kate wow uncovered, shocking New Details about the republican running for governor of battleground North Carolina, The States current Lieutenant Governor, Mark Robinson is cnn investigation finds that robinson, for years posted on a Porn Site starting in 2008. On that site, he described himself as a quote, Black Nazi and he also wrote posts expressing support for reinstating slavery, even wanting a couple of slaves himself robertson spoke to cnn this afternoon. He repeatedly denied having written any of these comments despite online evidence connecting him directly to the posts, lets go to cnns Dianne Gallagher in North Carolina. Shes been following this race very closely and dianne, Mark Robinson certainly having a day walk us through the details and the response that youre seeing jake in addition to some of those comments that you just discussed, that kfile uncovered on some of these sites the same username on Nude Africa pornographic website that contains a Message Board Robinson graphically described his own Sexual Arousal as an adult when he thought of memories of he said secretly peeping on women in public. Jim showers as a 14yearold, he said, i came to a spot that was a dead end but had two big Vent Covers over it it just so happened at overlook the showers i set for an hour and watch to several girls came in and shower. He said he went peeping again the next morning, but afterward, it was locked. So those two times were the only two times according to those comments that kfile has reported on in other comments on nude Africa Robinson discussed his affinity for transgender pornography with very graphic comments of course, robinson has made very intense and bigoted comments against transgender people, including calling people at the lgbt Community Filth here in North Carolina. During his political career. Now it is important to say robinson has denied that he made those comments under that username and that Email Address but there is intense political fallout here in North Carolina. There was a lot of discussion leading up to this story with many individual saying they were waiting to see whats going to happen, whether his campaign could survive this his opponent, democrat josh stein, the current Attorney General issued a statement just a few moments whats ago saying, quote, north carolinians already know Mark Robinson is completely unfit to be governor. Josh remains focused on winning this campaign, so that together we can build a safer, stronger North Carolina for everyone. You know, political just went out with a report as well, which cnns kfile also has obtained the chosen Email Address belongs im going to North Carolina governor Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson, who is running for governor, was also registered on ashley madison. Thats of course a website for married people who are seeking affairs. And jake, i can tell you that my inbox is now flooded with democrats who are trying to basically tie their opponent, the republican opponent to Mark Rafah ive been sin right now with those words from those comments and those Message Boards on those pornographic sites right now, i received one just a few moments ago from one of the individuals running the democrat, running for Attorney General, trying to tie his opponents Mark Robinson with a slew of photos of them together and former endorsement thank gallagher in charlotte, North Carolina. Thanks so much. Lets bring in Cnns Phil mattingly fill this Governors Race is big and important and significant and its also in a Battleground State between harris and trump. And its already been viewed as problematic for republicans. So keep in mind despite the fact republicans have won ten out of the lesson last 11 president ial contests in this state, theres actually been a democratic governor, a two term democratic governor, governor roy cooper, who outran president Joe Biden, outran the nominee, Hillary Clinton in 2016 and 2020 to secure the Governors Mansion two times in a row. Josh stein now running as the democrat in that race, you heard Dianne Reference his statement really kind of reiterating what he said throughout the course of this campaign because of Mark Robinsons past comments this certainly makes things worse. And thats not an opinion thats what every republican ive talked to over the course of the last 12 hours has said and i see 12 hours because republicans before long before this story actually was posted have been panicking on some level and also one of the questions i got repeatedly before this was posted by our Kfile Team was what could possibly be this much worse than what hes said in the past. Those same people confirming this is in fact, this much worse. And so i think the Big Question right now is less about the Governors Race, which already seemed to be moving away from where republicans are still going to be a close race because of The States makeup. Its the president ial campaign. Yes. Youd seen downBallot Republicans and democrats trying to, republicans distance themselves from this ai, including the Nrcc Chair Richard Hudson democrats trying to, as dianne was pointing out, make their opponents almost all of whom have endorsed Mark Robinson own it on some level. For the Harris Campaign and the 16 electoral votes is david plouffe, the adviser pointed out on twitter, on top of this story, this is a pathway opener. Theyve been targeting this. They think they have a good shot because of the expansion of the population in The State and particularly where that Population Michigan grew around the Suburb Areas over the course of the last four or five years, this only adds to some optimism thats possible. But phil mattingly, thanks so much. Lets talk about this issue with derrick johnson. Hes the President And Ceo of The Naacp. Thanks so much for joining us so youre in nonpolar political, nonpartisan, i should say, nonpartisan organization what was your response when you heard these comments that cnn uncovered that Mark Robinson wrote on this Message Board calling himself a Black Nazi, talking about how he wanted slavery to come back. He even wanted a couple of slaves himself. Whats your responses . That of The Naacp first of all, hes delusional, is unfortunate that he had such a platform. I will hope that the voters of North Carolina would reject his candidacy because hes dangerous Clay Cane wrote a book called the grifter. Hes a grifter. Hes using face promote himself and a political party that is appealing to the lowest common denominator of Human Nature is one thats the visa, is one thats offensive both to the Legacy And History of africanamericans. And the Jewish Community this is something that no american should tolerate. This gentleman is a danger not only to this democracy, but to humankind yeah, i mean, we should note that Lieutenant Governor Robinson One of the reasons why so few people believe his denials because this completely fits with what we know about the wild and unhinged and offensive things he has already said and he acknowledged saying on Social Media for years and you mentioned his comments about the Jewish Community. He had some wildly offensive antisemitic posts about the movie Black Panther just a rant have you, in the modern day. So lets say, since the year 2000, ever heard anything like this from a Lieutenant Governor and candidate for governor no. But we are in a climate where the visa hurtful language has been accepted. We need to reject all candidates who seek to divide country and create an atmosphere that could cause harm there is no reason any citizen black, white, male, young, old, you name it should support this type of language, this type of individual. And i dont care that hes an african africanamerican male or whether its a white male, this should not be accepted. Hes delusional, hes doing this to self promote not to promote a common healthy democracy that we should all be a part of let me ask you about that. Since you brought it up the fact that he is saying things about wanting slavery to be back, and he himself is a black man. Does that make it . I mean, explain to viewers your perspective. I mean, there might be a viewers out there in North Carolina who think, well, how can he be racist . Hes black well, first of all, he is foolish second of all, is a long legacy of african africanamericans pandering to get attention for personal so effect. Hes not doing it because hes trying to create a better society. Hes doing it his own self interests. A secondly, know citizens should accept the rhetoric that he has been spewing. We should be looking at candidates will offer in policy priorities on how they view this nation, that State Ability to move forward, not individuals who only are spewing negative. The most bow racist statements it doesnt matter whether the person is black or female male or white, or you name it, it is bad, Bad Taste for anyone to lift up nazism, for anyone to bring back the history of slavery as if its okay. We are society that is the most diverse than weve ever been. And we need to celebrate that. Not look backwards. I just want to give you an opportunity to respond to the fact that President Trump has praised Lieutenant Governor robinson in the past, calling him, quote, Martin Luther King On Steroids, unquote well, Foolishness Knows foolishness. And thats the foolish statement. There was no Reason Anyone should embrace eating the, those of eating Cats And Dogs and no one should embrace nazism. No one should embrace anything that divide us as a country. The Public Square should be a place where we are discussed in Public Policy are are those how we view the role of government and what space we play . We dont need to tear Each Other down or try to recount negative history. We should be looking forward and how we create a better society. And im not surprised to hear that from the former president , just like it is unfortunate that this delusional individual who happened to be the standard bearer for the North Carolina Republican Party should be denounced by all members of that electorate. Abadi, do you think Lieutenant Governor robinson should drop out of the race . I think hes not he should drop out. He should apologize for The Statements that he or that hes making. He should apologize to all of the communities that hes offending including his own community. Their johnson from The Naacp. Thank you for joining us sir.

And the president ial races razorthin. A new, new york timessienna Poll Shows Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump tied, tied nationally among likely voters, each polling 47 , looking specifically at battleground pennsylvania, which it all may come down to a new Cnn Poll of polls, shows no clear leader there, harris at 49 , trump at 47 essentially tied to their to, lets bring in nate silver, the founder of 538, author of the new book on The Edge, the art of risking everything. He also has a Substack Silver Bullet so nate, this race is bigger than any one state, obviously looking at the larger perspective, what are the dynamics at play that make this race so close . I dont think weve ever seen such a close race all seven Battleground States are averages have yours probably had the same polling within two percentage points or less. Look, its probably electorally have very high turnout. It comes down to just who has the better, bigger Coalition Trump has made something roads with some groups, for example younger Hispanic Hammack voters, younger black voters. But, you know, democrat continued Dang Ground in the suburbs theyre going to have probably a more robust data and Turnout Operation in a state like North Carolina in particular, its mostly a turnout state. You have 50, 50 groups. The Gop Side has been a little bit bigger. Appoint bigger or so historically. But if you have something like Micron Robertson that moves the polls by half a point, All Of A Sudden that state becomes more interesting. Well, let me, let me ask you about, about Mark Robinson how lets assume that the story is what it is which it seems to be. Will this, i mean, i obviously stein was already favored to win the Governors Race. Might this affect the president ial race in North Carolina . So usually you do not have reverse coattails, meaning the president ial race can affect down ballot races, but not the other way around. In this case. First of all, youre going to have ads. Im sure running of trump endorsing enthusiasticall y. Robinson theres also maybe a story about depressed gop turnout, where maybe peopl
