Robinson Calls CNN Report “Trash To Besmirch People”

Raleigh’s NBC affiliate reports:

North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson made his first public appearance on Saturday evening at a meet-and-greet in Fayetteville, following allegations of making sexually explicit and racially charged comments online. After new allegations about his past, he only hinted at the scandal.

“While everybody else wants to focus on the garbage, and the trash that tries to besmirch people, we’re out here telling people about what we want to do, how we want to partner with you to make this state better and help North Carolina be better,” Robinson said.

Some of his supporters, including Justin Hall, do not believe the allegations. “If I could call it true, I would definitely be concerned, but I don’t believe it’s true,” Hall said. “I believe it’s something that was made up because Democrats are getting desperate.”
