Wade, its a Health Care Crisis its a Health Care Crisis that affects the patient and the profession me while at an event focused on antisemitism, former President Donald Trump made an alarming pitch to jewish voters this way im not going to call this as a prediction, but in my opinion, did jewish people would have a lot to do with a loss . If im at 40 while more on that in just a moment. But first this morning, one of the gops most controversial candidates and a crucial Battleground State is facing shocking scandal stemming from his internet history, North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson is vowing to stay in the Governors Race after a Midnight Deadline to drop out has come and gone. This after a Bombshell Cnn investigative report on earth, a slew of explicit comments he made on a Pornography Forum more than a decade Ago Robinson has denied the pose, which include everything from defending slavery to calling himself a quote, A Black Nazi former President Donald Trump has repeatedly praised robinson, but these new revelations are and in shockwaves through the party just weeks before the election, pushing even some of trumps most ardent supporters to call for robinson to get out pretty sad to go this far along and then to the people who supported him, all the money that hes raised and i think he needs to drop out today. I definitely want to read what the allegations are and the comments on it. I myself Cant Support Anyone if that all turns out to be true. Joining me now cnns Dianne Gallagher from Charlotte And Alayna treene with reaction from the Trump Campaign, diane, let me go to you first. What is Mark Robinson saying today . So Jim Robinson remains a republican Nominee Running for governor because the deadline for him to withdraw passed at midnight. So he is in the race and he categorically continues to deny that he made those posts and his party at the State Level is publicly sticking by him saying that this is quote the left trying to demonize him via personal attacks. I will tell you that privately many republicans are concerned about the effect this is going to have both up and down the ballot as Democrats Attempt to attach republicans, theyre running against To Robinson and to this story, after a kfile Investigation Patient found that robinson made a series of inflammatory posts on a pornography Sites Message Board between 2008 and 2012. Here is what robinson, the current Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina, told cnn, kfiles Andrew Kaczynski yesterday, a belt those posts and speculating on how they may have come about look, im maga get into but new Sheriff House on my manufacturer. This all these salacious tabloid lives, but i can tell you this theres been over 1 Million on me through ai by Billionaire Son whos bound and determined to destroy me. The things that people can do with the internet. Now its incredible, but what i can can tell you is this, again, these are not my words. You mentioned ai, are you saying that somebody be at 15 to ten years ago was somehow manufacturing biographical details to exactly match you using your username is what youre telling me here when you say that, i have no idea how this was done. I have absolutely the no idea how it was done investigative tools, including web archive. The posts were made using a username that cnn was able to identify as robinson by matching a litany of biographical information and details and shared Email Addresses across multiple platforms. On that pornography site, nude africa, robinson listed his full name on his profile as well as an Email Address that he has used across numerous sites online for decades. I do want to warn you that some of the details of these posts you may find disturbing. He refers to himself as a perv in one post, he graphically described in great detail becoming aroused by his own memories of peeping on women in a Public Jim shower as a 14yearold in another thread commenters were considering whether they should believe the story of a woman who said that she had been raped by a Taxi Driver while she was intoxicated the Screen Name for robinson posted quote, and the moral of the story. Dont eff, a White Robinson posts include antimuslim antisemitic, and homophobic language and look, polling in North Carolina has shown that robinson is trailing behind his opponent, the democratic attorney general, Josh Stein this is of course, not the first reporter, even the first Kfile Investigation into controversial comments made by robinson, but it did create a panicked stir yesterday, jim, from republicans who were calling me even before the story published, asking exactly what it included and how bad it was going to be he to a level that i have not seen in years of covering politics here in North Carolina yeah it is actually very bad Dianne Gallagher. Thank you very much. We appreciate that reporting. Let me turn to alayna treene, who is with me here in the studio and alayna, i mean, this is a man that trump has put on a pedestal and referred to as Martin Luther King times two whats trump Trump Campaign going to do about this . Well, on the record officially theyre not weighing in on any of the specific details in this Kfile Investigation, but behind the scenes, obviously, its a different picture, so ive learned that actually some people in Donald Trumps inner orbit had been prepared cared for a very controversial, potentially damaging story for robinson to drop this week. Now, i think one very notable thing that we should be watching for is Donald Trump himself is going to be in North Carolina tomorrow. He has a rally in wilmington. Now, we know that for most, if not all, of Donald Trumps recent events in North Carolina, he has had robinson there with him just last month. He brought him on stage at an event in asheboro. But when i talked to Donald Trumps team, they sit before this story had dropped, they had no plans to invite robinson. And of course now they expecting that decision to hold. I think you can read between the lines there now, another interesting thing too is when ive talked to people close to the former president say that they have long had concerns about robinson and his gubernatorial candidacy because normally obviously learning about this story, but he has made several inflammatory comments in the past. Hes mocked School Shooting victims. He demeaned the civil Rights Movement they have had concerns about him. Of course, as you mentioned, that has not stopped Donald Trump from endorsing him calling him Martin Luther King on steroids, praising him at all of these events, but in the most immediate term, theyre trying to distance the former president from him. I am told, however, there have been no movement as of now to try and get him to withdraw. They are hoping that robinson and his team would do that and im this point, trump has not called for him to get out of the Race Or Anything like that. Okay. All right. Interesting. Landed treene. Thank you very much. The Harris Campaign has also seizing on this scandal posting this tweet as they seek to hammer home robinsons ties to trump for more on this, im joined by adrian al ron. Shes a senior spokesperson for the harriswalz campaign adrian. Thanks for being here in studio with me. We appreciate it very much of whats the response to this Robinson Story . Well, i think the Bottom Line is this jam i mean, Donald Trump has embraced Mark Robinson since the very beginning of his campaign. Theyve campaigned together throughout the state of North Carolina on multiple occasions. Alayna just hit the nail on the head going through all the times where hes compared trump is that compared him to Martin Luther King junior . Youre they are tied together. He of course is going to North Carolina. I think it is going to be extremely difficult for Donald Trump to distance themselves. Mark robinson is also somebody who has said when a woman gets pregnant, her body is no longer her own. The Bottom Line is this Donald Trump, Mark Robinson are way too extreme for North Carolina families. Weve been very bullish sean North Carolina for a long time, not only because it was a very close state in 2020 but its also a close state for us now in 2024, and there are many reasons why were bullish on this. But one of the very top reasons is that Somebody Running at the top of the ticket in the state for statewide office, Mark Robinson does not share those values. Youve got vice versa. He puts the state in play some extent. Yeah. I think the state is in play regardless, when you add him to the equation, its a whole different ball game. So the Vice President , Governor Walz are spending a lot of time in North Carolina talking about the issues that matter to those families. Thats something we will continue to do, but trump and Mark Robinson are tied together. They did not share the values of North Carolina families. They are way too extreme for this constituency i do want to talk about this event that the Vice President had Last Night with Oprah Winfrey. Lets play a moment from that amber was not a statistic. She was loved by family, a strong family and we would have done what ever to get my baby our baby. The help that she needed, we trusted them to take care of her, you know and they just let her die because because of from stupid Abortion Ban im just so sorry this story is a story that is sadly not the only been happening since these bans have taken place. That was a very powerful moment Last Night, adrian and obviously that was the family of the mother whose death was linked to these Abortion Restrictions down in georgia. Are we going to see her talk about that more today . I know shes down In Atlanta yeah. Shes giving her first Abortion Speech In Atlanta today. And this is something that she demanded from the campaign when she read this story, when she learned at these two women who were unfairly, unfairly lost their lives tragically lost their lives because of Donald Trumps Abortion Ban. She immediately said, i want to go to the people of atlanta. I want to have this conversation directly with them and really draw that contrast absolutely powerful moment, heartbreaking moment. Something that never should have happened that ambra went in for a standard dnc, which is very typical after taking an abortion pill, its a very standard procedure and then she should not have died. She should still be alive today. That is something that the Vice President has been talking about a lot on the campaign trail. This is Donald Trumps Abortion A Problem he will, will institute a nationwide ban if hes elected president. And the reason why we are in this position in the first place is because he said in 2016 when he was running for president , if im elected, i will make sure that rose overturned. He then in turn got three chances to appoint conservative justices to the Supreme Court who made it . Very clear where they stand on overturning roe. This is because of Donald Trump, No Matter how he tries to run away from it, his flipflopping on abortion as flipflopping on ivf. He cant run away from it. Voters are smart enough and amperage is still be alive today. I do want to ask you about one other moment in the Oprah Winfrey event last Night Oprah asked Kamala Harris about are the fact that she owns a firearm. And she talked about this and she said at one point will if somebody tries to break into my home, theyre going to get shot she made that comment on then she said, well, my staff will go ahead and clean that up. You were on Kamala Harris, his staff can you give us some more information . Im just curious from a biographical background what do we know about this firearm that she owns and when did she get it yeah. Well, look, she has made it very clear that she saw actually supports the second amendment. She was stands she supports strong gun responsible Gun Ownership, and she doesnt own a firearm. So i dont you know, i dont know. I cant really comment more than that except for the fact that she is somebody who does believed that if you are a responsible Gun Owner in this country and you want to have a gun in your home to protect your families. And if you want to have gotten to go hunting with, you, are certainly able to. She just wants to make sure that we have restrictions in place to keep guns out of out of the hands of people who want to harm us or people with Mental Health issues alright, very good.
