North Carolina AG says opponent Mark Robinson is "unfit" for office after CNN KFile report

 North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein, who will face off against North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson for governor in November, told CNN on Sunday that his opponent is not qualified for office.

“This man is utterly unqualified, unfit to be the governor of North Carolina, and we’re going to do everything in our power to keep that from happening,” Stein told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union.”

An investigation by CNN’s KFile team found that Robinson made a series of inflammatory comments on a pornography website’s message board more than a decade ago, in which he referred to himself as a “black NAZI!” and expressed support for reinstating slavery.

“Mark Robinson is absolutely unfit to be the governor of North Carolina, and that was true before your story broke last Thursday. The story has only served to underline and put an exclamation point on that fact,” Stein said Sunday before referencing other posts that Robinson has made on his Facebook page.

Asked by Tapper if the Robinson controversy will boost Vice President Kamala Harris’ chances of winning North Carolina in November, Stein cited “newfound energy” for her at recent events in the state.

“I’m not a political scientist, but there has been incredibly exciting newfound energy for the Harris-Walz campaign here in North Carolina,” Stein said. “She’s got momentum. I think she’s going to win, but I am absolutely focused on winning my race.”
