Candidate's Response
Republican gubernatorial nominee Mark Robinson vowed to continue his campaign despite a report alleging he made incendiary comments on a pornographic website over a decade ago, labeling the story as "salacious tabloid lies."
Robinson, the current lieutenant governor, has insisted that the remarks attributed to him do not reflect his character, emphasizing his commitment to the race and denying the authenticity of the CNN report.
Political Implications and Reactions
The controversy has sparked criticism from opponents and some Republican lawmakers, with Democratic nominee labeling Robinson as "completely unfit to be Governor," and others expressing concern over the allegations.
Former President , who has endorsed Robinson, did not immediately comment on the allegations, though some Trump campaign advisers denied that the campaign had pressured Robinson to withdraw.
