Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
The former president was asked if he would encourage his supporters to continue backing Robinson while campaigning on Monday but he did not commit to backing the embattled GOP nominee.Robinson once described himself as a “black Nazi” and made crude remarks about civil rights legend Martin Luther King Jr. on a pornography website’s message board, according to CNN’s report. Robinson has since filed a $50 million defamation lawsuit against the television network.
Trump had previously endorsed the lieutenant governor, which boosted him in his primary race despite some hesitancy around his controversial comments on women, the LGBT community, and other minority groups. Before the CNN report, Trump had repeatedly praised Robinson and compared him to Martin Luther King Jr.
But now Robinson has not appeared on the campaign stump with either Trump or the former president’s running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance . At the Greenville rally, Sen. Ted Budd spoke onstage before Trump gave his speech. Democrats attempted to tie Trump to Robinson in hopes of flipping the state blue for the first time since 2008, buthave been cast in the state that Trump will need to win to help bolster his campaign and defeat Harris.
“They set a record for the first few days of voting,” Trump said, noting that the record comes after Helene’s wreckage. “Now, these are people that lost their houses. In some cases, unfortunately, they lost family members, and yet they set a record in early voting.”
