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.

    In any other timeline I’d think he would have no chance. But really, how many of is would be really and truly shocked if he won anyway? Surprised? Sure. But actually shocked?

          because it’s a cult, dear great leader trump is the only one who’s completely unaffected by scandal. small time nobodies like mark robinson aren’t. look at madison cawthorn. george santos. christian ziegler. though loyalty is more important than anything else to them, their 2 brain cells rubbing together at least recognizes that this toxic goon will do literally nothing to help the republican party, and everything to make them even more hated than they already are. even fucking trump wants nothing to do with him

          completely fucking unelectable

            I’m just saying. Total dregs like Marg and Qbert got elected even though they are not qualified, but because they were in deeply red areas. There are many Republicans that will vote for a potato with an R next it.
