GOP is 'hook, line and sinker all in' on Mark Robinson: former RNC official

Raw Story  

Despite deleting any pictures they may have taken with embattled North Carolina GOP gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson, Republican lawmakers are doing as little as they can to disavow their Republican Party colleague who has described himself as a "Black Nazi." That is the opinion of former Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele who claimed that Robinson embodies everything Donald Trump's MAGA followers find appealing. Speaking with his co-host Alicia Menendez, Steele explained that the Democratic Party had no problem asking President Joe Biden to step aside which led to the nomination of Vice President Kamala Harris and a subsequent massive shift in the polls, but Republicans are refusing to force out Robinson despite comments he made on a adult website that were so shocking that the press won't even describe some of them. "Well put your name on a piece of paper so that we can read your words telling Mark Robinson to step out of the race, or at this point, Donald Trump, to withdraw his endorsement," he suggested before adding, "They won't, because they are hook line and sinker all in on what Mark Robinson represents as today's MAGA Republican party."
