Four key staffers on the North Carolina gubernatorial campaign of Republican Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson have stepped down following a bombshell report about his disturbing activity on an online pornography forum, including referring to himself as a “black NAZI.”
Robinson’s campaign announced the major shakeup on Sunday. The departing aides were identified as Conrad Pogorzelski III, general consultant and senior advisor; Chris Rodriguez, campaign manager; Heather Whillier, finance director; and Jason Rizk, deputy campaign manager.
The lieutenant governor was quoted in a campaign press release as saying he appreciated the efforts of “these team members who have made the difficult choice to step away from the campaign, and I wish them well in their future endeavors.”
He added that more information about new staff roles would be announced “in the coming days.”
This is a breaking story and will be updated.
