The Republican candidate also attacked Martin Luther King Jr., calling the civil rights icon “worse than a maggot.”
Mark Robinson, who was endorsed in March by Donald Trump in the race for governor of North Carolina, said he supported slavery, called himself a “black NAZI,” and graphically described “peeping” on women in public gym showers on a porn forum called “Nude Africa,” CNN KFile reported Thursday.
The comments were reportedly made “under the username minisoldr, a moniker Robinson used frequently online.” CNN said it determined the username belonged to the gubernatorial candidate “by matching a litany of biographical details and a shared email address between the two.”

Right, That’s what I meant by “Well researched”. Someone looking to build this story could have gathered a whole bunch of his common sayings, his user name from other sites, historic information, etc, and using something like SQL injection, added posts that authentically look like they came from years ago. All the evidence they listed really could be handled that way.
Again, I hate this man. He is scum. But there is a slight fishy smell about this story that just makes me a little wary.
Can you do an SQL injection into the Internet Archive? Otherwise, I’m guessing Robinson’s campaign could easily prove such a thing.
Most likely not. Are there historic matching posts in the archive? If so, that would pretty much completely allay my lingering suspicion.
Also, his campaign doesn’t exactly seem to be the most tech savvy. They tried to blame this on AI Generated images, which doesn’t even make sense as a possible attack vector for faking this kind of evidence. I doubt they even know about or understand internet archival sites.
I think there are likely a nonzero number of archived websites that Robinson’s campaign could easily point to if they were able.
This is a guy who has said all kinds of horrific shit before. He didn’t even deny making antisemitic claims on Facebook (he said they were misunderstood, but he didn’t deny making them).

There is also a man who worked at a porn store who talked about Robinson as a regular customer and joke around with them. He would even bring in pizza.

The most obvious explanation here is that a horrible guy is horrible and really into porn.
