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.”

    Presented with the details re: how CNN determined the comments came from him, Robinson responded: “I’m not going to get into the minutia of how somebody manufactured this, these salacious tabloid lies.”

    Sure, buddy. Somebody in 2008 spent 4 years writing posts on an obscure web forum using an account registered to your email address, just so they could have a “gotcha!” moment when you decided to run for governor over a decade later.
