Vice President Kamala Harris is capitalizing on a CNN report tying GOP candidate for North Carolina governor Mark Robinson to sexually explicit and racist comments on a pornographic website. On Friday, Harris launched a six-figure ad criticizing former President Donald Trump’s support of Robinson, the North Carolina lieutenant governor.

Mark Robinson, North Carolina's Republican gubernatorial candidate, released a video statement Thursday afternoon saying he's staying in the race following damning allegations reported by CNN. CNN claims that Robinson – under a username he allegedly used frequently online -- made several inflammatory comments on a message board of a pornography website more than a decade ago,

Following Thursday’s reports of controversial online comments that Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson made in years before he took office, Democratic Attorney General Josh Stein on Friday called the North Carolina Republican gubernatorial nominee “unfit” and “unqualified” to lead the state.
