North Carolina Republican gubernatorial nominee Mark Robinson vowed on Thursday to remain in his race in advance of what he called the release of a media report against him, saying he won't be forced out by "salacious tabloid lies.

Trump endorsed Mark Robinson ahead of the Republican gubernatorial primary earlier this year, calling him 'Martin Luther King on steroids.'

North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson posted a slew of incendiary, explicit and racist comments on a pornographic website more than a decade ago, according to CNN.
