controversial far-right republican nominee for governor in north carolina as reported just moments ago by cnn he referred to himself as a quote black nazi express support for reinstating slavery on a pornography website on the website's message board yeah you heard that right he said he's a black nazi And he expressed support for reinstating slavery on a pornographic website's message board. And there's more. Despite a recent history of anti-transgender rhetoric, CNN is reporting that Robinson said that he enjoyed watching transgender porn, a review of archived messages found in which he also referred to himself as, quote, as a, quote, perv. We're going to dig into this breaking story that could have some major implications for the presidential race.
There's also another story that's very important that we need to cover this hour. Protests are currently sweeping all across New York City. And it's interesting because this is after an NYPD, after the NYPD fired at a suspected subway fare evader in a busy subway station, hitting a bystander in the head. We have so much to dig into, and I'm really pleased to be joined by a brilliant guest who I've interviewed before, Dr. Chinjerai Komanika. Thank you so much for joining us. He is a professor at NYU School of Journalism. He's also an executive producer and host of a brand new Crooked Media podcast called Empire City that examines the history of the NYPD. Thank you, sir. I appreciate you. Happy to be here.
Excited to be here. Two big, important stories, and it's good to see you again. Yes, absolutely.
Yeah.
Okay. So here's the thing. Right off the bat, I just want to play. This is video. I told you about Mark Robinson. This is Mark Robinson. This is what he posted on Twitter. He did it about an hour ago, okay? Just about 30 minutes or so before this CNN investigative report was released. I'm going to tell you about what the report says. You're going to hear much more from him and from President Trump, what he has to do with this, or the former President Trump. But here's Mark Robinson addressing the report before it was even released. Watch this.
Hey guys, Lieutenant Governor Robinson and your Republican nominee for governor as well, of course. Well guys, the news media is at it again. My opponent is at it again. You all have seen the half truths and outright lies of Josh Stein on these ads over and over again. And now a story leaked by him to CNN is appearing now. Let me reassure you, the things that you will see in that story Those are not the words of Mark Robinson. You know my words, you know my character, and you know that I have been completely transparent in this race and before. Folks, this race right now, our opponents are desperate to shift the focus here from the substantive issues and focus on what you are concerned with to salacious tabloid trash.
We cannot allow that to happen. And folks, we've seen this type of stuff in the past as well. Clarence Thomas famously once said he was the victim of a high-tech lynching. Well, it looks like Mark Robinson is too, by a man who refuses to stand on stage and debate me about the real issues that face you. Instead, they want to focus on salacious tabloid lies. We're not going to let them do that. We are staying in this race. We are in it to win it. And we know that with your help, we will. God bless you, and we will see you where? On the campaign trail.
I mean, there's so much more to read, right? I don't think that that is going to do it. But before I get to the CNN reporting, because there's so many more salacious details that I want to give to you, but I want to just get Dr. Komunica. What's your initial reaction? It looks like a hostage video to me. Right.
I mean, it's just it's absurd. I mean, what he's talking about, he tries to invoke this Clarence Thomas language where suddenly we're going to see him as a victim. But I mean, what's clearly the case is that this is actually in the tradition of what Mark Robinson has done for a long time in North Carolina. We have, there's all kinds of history of him making outrageous claims about abortion, anti-queer, transphobic comments.
