NC GOP gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson facing calls to drop out amid rumors of looming bombshell

Unrest has reportedly taken over the North Carolina GOP in anticipation of a forthcoming negative news story about Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, the current candidate for governor.

Reports say the story, which has yet to be published, has to do with Robinson’s activity on adult websites in the 2000s, according to The Carolina Journal. Robinson and his campaign did not respond to requests for comment from Fox News Digital.

Michael Lonergan, the communications director for Robinson’s campaign, rejected the claims in a statement to the journal.
