Donald Trump and the Republican Party are ditching Mark Robinson, their scandal-plagued nominee in the North Carolina governorā€™s race.

Robinson has been battling to keep his head above water after claims that he called himself a ā€œBlack Naziā€ and made other offensive comments on a pornographic website.

But it appears the national GOP hierarchy are prepared to let him drown. The Republican Governors AssociationĀ said in a statement that they are pulling Robinsonā€™s financial support.

    The GOP seems comfortable enough with Nazis, itā€™s interesting that the Black Nazi was the tipping pointā€¦

      There is no tipping point. If they thought it might not be enough to sink him they would have kept backing him.

      I doubt any of that was a real issue for them, I bet itā€™s the now-public enthusiasm about trans porn that they couldnā€™t stomach.

      They say itā€™s important that you fully accept yourself before you can accept others.

      And when I say ā€œtheyā€ I mean big men. Big, strong men on motorcycles who came up to me with tears in their eyesā€¦
