Breaking News: Nearly All of Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson’s Campaign Staff Quits After CNN Report

[Date] – In a shocking turn of events, nearly all of Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson’s campaign staff has resigned en masse, just hours after a CNN report highlighted concerns over his controversial remarks and actions.

According to sources close to the campaign, the majority of the staff, including top aides and strategists, tendered their resignations shortly after the CNN report was published, citing "irreconcilable differences" with the Lt. Gov.’s leadership.

The CNN report, which aired earlier today, delved into allegations of racial and homophobic slurs made by Robinson, as well as his controversial stance on issues such as LGBTQ+ rights and education. The report also raised questions about Robinson’s handling of his office and his relationships with donors and supporters.

In a statement, a spokesperson for Robinson’s campaign attempted to downplay the mass resignation, saying that the departures were "unrelated" to the CNN report and that the campaign was "moving forward with a strong team."

However, sources within the campaign contradicted this claim, telling CNN that the staff had been "sickened" by Robinson’s behavior and felt that they could no longer continue to work for him.

This development is a major blow to Robinson’s re-election campaign, which was already facing an uphill battle. The Lt. Gov.’s office has been embroiled in controversy in recent months, with many calling for his resignation.

  • "This is a huge loss for the campaign. We’re going to have to start from scratch to rebuild trust with voters." – Political analyst

Nearly all of Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson's campaign staff quit after CNN report | WUNC

Days after a CNN report about racist and sexual comments posted on a pornography forum, all but a few of Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson's campaign team quit their jobs on Sunday.

A campaign news release said that four top staffers have left the campaign: Conrad Pogorzelski, general consultant and senior advisor who's worked for Robinson since his initial 2020 lieutenant governor campaign; Chris Rodriguez, campaign manager; Heather Whillier, finance director; and Jason Rizk, deputy campaign manager.

But WUNC has confirmed that other staffers have quit as well, leaving Robinson with just three people working on his campaign — two campaign spokesmen and a bodyguard. The list of departures also include longtime director of operations Patrick Riley and political directors John Kontoulas and Jackson Lohrer.

Sunday's news release says that new staff hires will be announced "in the coming days." But hiring a new campaign team less than two months from Election Day will be tough for a campaign rocked by scandal.

    I’m pumped to vote, and join my fellow North Carolinians in *humiliating* the GOP for hitching their horse to the hypocritical christo-fascists like Robinson, Tillis, Morrow and the Traitor-In-Chief.

    We can actually have representation and leadership worthy of our State and Country. We have to *EARN* that by showing up to vote.

  2. Republicans should really use this as an opportunity to reset their party, vote against your dog shit extremist candidates, make a statement and demand decency.

    There are a LOT of republican voters who can no longer in good conscience support their party in its current state.

  3. > But hiring a new campaign team less than two months from Election Day will be tough for a campaign rocked by scandal.

    Well… I’m not currently employed and don’t need a job, but I’ll take free money from this nutjob to do whatever his campaign needs. As long as it doesn’t involve someone peeing in my butthole. Unless the pay is really great, I guess.

  4. I’m so bummed I don’t get to vote for Josh Stein, but I moved from NC to Georgia a few years ago and I think they need my vote even more down here. Hopefully this is the nail in the coffin for Robinson, good luck to you guys! NC deserves better than that turd.

  5. Honestly I can’t even believe this made a difference to his campaign. He’s always been dogshit, and being a little porn freak is so … quaint, after Donald Trump.
