It seems CNN did excellent research in tying Mark Robinson to minisoldr.
And this article is very revealing, and shows how gross, sick this individual is. There's something really wrong with him.
The article is disturbing - and it's worth noting that CNN has withheld more evidence that is evidently much more disturbing. Goodness....
- Yep.
  If he had something like a normal healthy interest in sex, even with a bit of a kink, nobody would care.
  Announcing that you're a Nazi and pro-slavery is the problem here.
  
  There's also the hypocrisy. He's into porn with trans women.
- being in NC, i'm glad this came out before the election. but being in NC, i can tell you: the people who need to read the article most, won't
  
  Thankfully Josh Stein seems to be well-positioned to win this one... as long as everybody gets up off their ass and votes
  
  Well that is fucking depressing. Hopefully some of the information spreads to them via cultural osmosis I guess.
- It’s really a testament to trump that this will not be the end of this disgusting bastard’s political career. Heck it may even help him.
- They shared the report with other orgs, for instance The Guardian posted other elements.
- Why would they withhold anything?
  
  They allude in the article it's because it was too fucking gross to publish

Maaaaan... I could never run for office. I'm not a Nazi, but they'd find my old furry art in 12 seconds.
- Honestly, furry art wouldn't even be remarkable as a scandal at this point.
  
  Yeah, we have a couch fucker running for vice president. Furries are nothing.
  
  Should we elect a furry?

Choice quotes:
Slavery is not bad. Some people need to be slaves. I wish they would bring it (slavery) back. I would certainly buy a few
I’d take Hitler over any of the sh*t that’s in Washington right now!
I’m not in the KKK. They don’t let blacks join. If I was in the KKK I would have called him Martin Lucifer Koon!
- Depicted: Mark Robinson in an alternate universe where he had suffered a freak traffic accident that spilled radioactive waste on his eyes as an infant
  
  You just described the origin story for The Daredevil, not a racist monster.
- Yeah, but the only one that could cost him his R support is:
  “I like watching tranny on girl porn! That’s f*cking hot!"
  
  The R's are all hypocrites, half of them are into that. The other half are into tranny on guy porn.

Gotta be a special type fucktard to declare yourself a black Nazi.
- Fascism, oddly enough, does not discriminate.
  Fascist, however, do.
- Explain the difference between him and the black DA running for president.
  
  I'll take a shot at this if you first explain what commonalities you see between this guy and Harris. I'm interested to see why you think they're at all similar.
  
  Ooo, an example of the bad faith you dislike so much.
  
  Loooool oh boy
  
  He's a fucking NAZI who wants to bring back slavery. What the fuck is wrong with your brain?
  
  gestures broadly to literally everything that's not skin color

Maybe this will come off as armchair psychology, but I really believe that part of what motivates conservative, and especially far-right sentiment in men is just sexual frustration.
We've seen so many instances of Nazis being outed as gay or as chasers, so many incels who blame women for all the ills of the world, and so many guys who have a "blacked" or "white extinction" fetish are staunchly racist.
We can respond in a number of ways to rejection, or any other negative experience for that matter, and some people respond with aggression.
Women don't find me attractive? Well it must be either their or society's fault. Or maybe the blacks are at fault for taking all the white women.
I can't be gay in my religion or conservative social circle? Well the gays must be sinful groomers then, and should be second class citizens or outright eradicated.
Once again this is probably just armchair psychology on my part, but this may be part of why we're seeing conservatism increase among young men as younger generations are having less sex.

It would take an epic fuckton of time and money to create an elaborate fake connection that CNN found here.
Archived website data, publicly available information, and the clear lack of self awareness really make it hard for him to deny.
What I don't understand is where he could have developed these ideas from. Like Uncle Ruckus would be proud of him

And of course he used his full fucking name on a porn site. That's so dense that it has to be true. What an idiot 🤣 He's so cooked

It’s the people you suspect the most. Republican party is full of this trash.
- Yup. These people that are obsessed with trans probably love to watch trans porn. The people calling everyone a pedo - are probably pedos.

what the chicken fried fuck
- I'm stealing this. Also: Yeah, on a weirdness scale of 1-10, this shit's around a 43.

GOP: "It's only political rhetoric and divisiveness to say that we're extremists and Nazis."
GOP politician and official nominee: "I'm a Nazi porn addict who thinks women shouldn't be allowed to vote."
This guy's career will end because he said the quiet part out loud...

I am sure that his fellow hard-right master race ethnostate enthusiasts will be happy to enslave his ass much to his pleasure and delight.
This guy is giving off hard raceplay gaykink vibes.
- He gets off on that
- That, or he's antisemitic.

Like, I knew this guy was a piece of shit, but I at least thought it was performative for the base.
Nah, he's ALWAYS been a piece of shit.

NC-GOV Leans D to Likely D
- This could help flip NC to Harris (with 16 EC votes)
  
  Yeah, if Harris wins NC then it becomes much harder for Trump to get to 270, even if he ratfucks the vote in GA
  
  Not necessarily, anyone who knows the state can tell you this.
  NC ousted an incumbent republican while electing Trump in 2016. Republicans have not won the governorship, except once in 2012, since 1988.
  The states national and state election results have always been decoupled.

Everyone said that the road to the white house runs through Pennsylvania. However, it looks like if Harris gets NC, she can loose Penn. What a turn that the first woman president gets elected because of what a man said on a porn site.

Mark Robinson also had an email address connected to Ashley Madison
- Why are people so worried about what people do in the sheets?
  
  Because he's a hypocrite. His platform is on family values, but says things like "women who get abortions can't keep their skirts down". Even though his wife has had an abortion and now apparently either has cheated on his wife or prepared to. He can't keep it in his pants.
  He referred to himself as a black nazi, and is into trans porn. That in itself isn't an issue, however he's a republican whom do not support trans rights
  
  Speaks to character, if you run as a "family values" candidate while cheating on your spouse. It's not inherently disqualifying, especially compared to self identifying as a Nazi, but it's not something that the press or the people should ignore.
  "What people do in the sheets" rhetoric is for stuff like kinky sex or being gay...nobody should care if he likes getting pegged. Nobody should care if he has an open relationship. Nobody should care that he likes trans porn, which he said he does. The problem with cheating is the character concern of caring about your wants no matter who it hurts. That is a bad characteristic for a political leader.
  
  Because it is wrong.
  I am not judging sexual practices. I am judging those who choose to betray their partner. Here is the person he is most committed to in this world, the person who expects undying loyalty in exchange for the same in return, and he is seemingly shitting all over that vow.
  If you only care about practicality, then consider that one will not care for the people in general if they cannot care for those closer to them. Honesty and compassion mean nothing to this man.

Republicans: Naziism was a left wing ideology! It means National Socialist Workers Party!!1!
Also Republicans: I'm a Nazi, all hail Trump!
- Also Republicans: fainting spells over statues of Confederates coming down.
  Also Republicans: getting the vapors over learning that Nazis are the bad guys in video games.
  Also Republicans: America should be a white xtian ethnostate

Trump is a Nazi sympathizer so they are a good pair.

I mean, commenting on a porn forum kinda comes across as a red flag anyway. Not really the place I expect to find wholesome content and community interactions.

holy shit that was a ride. That poor man hates himself

Why are they all like this?
- I mean that's true but I meant the perverted nazi part
  
  10k? What kinda bougie-ass politicians you got? All the ones around me are cheap.
  
  I had some business with a guy that had successfully lobbied politicians before, he described it as paying the price of a nice meal, and a $10k check to their reelection fund. Before that, I always assumed it would have to be much more, because $10k seems so paltry, but that was literally the figure.

“This is not us. These are not our words. And this is not anything that is characteristic of me,” Robinson said. Presented with the litany of evidence connecting him with the minisoldr user name on Nude Africa, Robinson said, “I’m not going to get into the minutia of how somebody manufactured this, these salacious tabloid lies.”
I can explain it, I work on the campaign as a media adviser.
See, the flux capacitor is the key. You drive this car up to 88mph and then bam! CNN's reporters go back in time, ten years into the past, to manufacture this account. They keep living in the past for years, posting the fraudulent "evidence" that Mr Robinson is anything but the wonderful, kind, caring individual that he is. Zip back forward in time and write this article to slander Mr Robinson and try to pretend that they didn't make the whole thing up.
Gotcha! Your move, CNN.

I can honestly say I've never commented on a porn site.

Despite a recent history of anti-transgender rhetoric, Robinson said he enjoyed watching transgender pornography, a review of archived messages found in which he also referred to himself as a “perv.”
LOLOLOL. I always assume those that are consumed by their hatred of trans to have some rather deep-seated issues of denial. It's just a matter of if/when we'll find the smoking gun...
Normal Americans just don't obsess over things like trans.

Why the hell would you use any identifying information on a porn account? I'm a nobody and I still use a burner email account with a fake name for logins on NSFW sites.
- why even create an account on a porn site?
  
  Some sites have certain videos restricted to folks w accounts. Then you make an account on a burner email to access those videos. At least according to a friend.

never go full Kanye

I mean... if you grew up on the internet like I did. "Welcome to the internet" is in order here.

Proclaiming an idiotically edgy identity on a porn site is the kind of pathologically oblivious attention seeking that has been the hallmark of the far right since trump made everyone watch him descend a golden escalator.
- It’s been there far longer. All the douchebag on the gold escalator did was show them that they don’t need to quit once the story comes out. They can fake news and double down and still get elected.

What on earth ?

Based on the “minisoldr” handle and love of model helicopters, it looks like this is his Amazon reviews. A bunch of RC helicopters, some train model type things, and a “compression” shirt. Honestly surprised that’s all that’s listed. https://www.amazon.com/gp/profile/amzn1.account.AFXTJ5RRW6AT3J2MINZ5ZLQZ3MFQ/
- Pretty tame.
  He apparently also liked to play with dolls dressed up as Nazi soldiers
- The love of aviation spans all walks of life. Even fucked ones.
- Yikes ummm... I don't see review posts listed presently. I guess he removed those too. Could that be?
  
  They’re still there for me?

A lot of same-password-tacked-on-post-it-note energy here.

"I'm a black nazi!" is crazy work. I read the other posts yeah that is him alright. I hope he loses.
- He apparently learned nothing from history. There used to be a "Jews for Hitler" group, too. Until there wasn't.

The party of "personal responsibility", and of "freedom" and of "family values", everyone!
Good grief, what a fucking bunch of WEIRDOS.

I was just driving behind a North Carolina plate the other day. Apparently their plates read "First in Freedom". Seems like they've lost sight of things.
- “First in Flight” was the original (because the Wright brothers’ first flight was in NC), then they added “First in Freedom”. It’s because NC was the first state to write/sign a Declaration of Independence from England, over a year before the Declaration of Independence.
  But it was a fucking slave state. I’ve always thought the “First in Freedom” license plate was insulting.
  Also, Mark Robinson is insane and a horrible person. Obviously.
- That's one you can choose. I've always stuck with the classic First in Flight. Way too many In God We Trust driving around though
  
  That should not even be legal, IMHO. Why is the state involved in religious nonsense?
  
  Which is wrong anyway, the Wright brothers were born, raised, and died in Ohio, had their bicycle shop in Ohio, designed/built the first airplane in Ohio, and only took it to Kitty Hawk in NC for test flights.
  Speaking as an Ohioan, NC can go fly a kite with that "first in flight" nonsense.
