Episode Description

It's been just over a week since CNN reported on comments North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson allegedly made on pornographic website Nude Africa praising Hitler, calling himself a "Black NAZI" and using slurs to talk about Martin Luther King Jr., among other topics. Donald Trump's campaign has since tried to distance itself from the Republican candidate for governor Trump endorsed and has heaped praise upon, and other GOP politicians have called on Robinson to do more to prove his claims that the report is false and the message board comments weren't actually his. Democrats from Josh Stein to Kamala Harris, meanwhile, have ramped up their efforts to tie Robinson to Republican candidates up and down the ballot as the GOP seeks to keep its legislative supermajority. New polling shows some voters are changing their minds, but perhaps not as many as Democrats would like to see.
