Donald Trump and the Republican Party are ditching Mark Robinson, their scandal-plagued nominee in the North Carolina governor’s race.

Robinson has been battling to keep his head above water after claims that he called himself a “Black Nazi” and made other offensive comments on a pornographic website.

But it appears the national GOP hierarchy are prepared to let him drown. The Republican Governors Association said in a statement that they are pulling Robinson’s financial support.

    The GOP seems comfortable enough with Nazis, it’s interesting that the Black Nazi was the tipping point…

      Maybe it’s because of their inherent resistance to equality?

      There is no tipping point. If they thought it might not be enough to sink him they would have kept backing him.

      I doubt any of that was a real issue for them, I bet it’s the now-public enthusiasm about trans porn that they couldn’t stomach.

      They say it’s important that you fully accept yourself before you can accept others.

      And when I say “they” I mean big men. Big, strong men on motorcycles who came up to me with tears in their eyes…
