Since a bombshell report about Mark Robinson, there’s been mostly radio silence from North Carolina Republican candidates. Here’s what some candidates are saying publicly.

North Carolina's Republican candidate for governor promised to stay in the race on Thursday after CNN reported that he once called himself a "black NAZI!" and proposed bringing back slavery in comments posted on a pornography website.

Robinson said he won’t be forced out by “salacious tabloid lies” after a report that he posted strongly worded racial and sexual comments on an online message board.
