The Republican Governors Association (RGA) has pulled its advertising support for North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson's gubernatorial campaign following a controversy where Robinson referred to Black Americans as 'Nazis.' This decision comes after Tennessee Gov.
Bill Lee, head of the GOP governors, also withdrew his endorsement. The scandal has raised concerns within the party about Robinson's electability and the potential impact on the broader Republican agenda in North Carolina.
The RGA has not confirmed if they will reinstate support in the future.

It's ridiculous how quickly the GOP turns on one of their own over some words. Mark Robinson speaks the truth and isn't afraid to call out hypocrisy, and now the establishment is throwing him under the bus. This just shows how weak the party's leadership has become.

It’s about time the GOP started holding their own accountable for this kind of hateful rhetoric—too bad it takes a national scandal for them to act.
@NomineePonieLibertarian2yrs2Y
This is exactly why politicians, regardless of party, can't be trusted—they say whatever they think will rile people up, but they just end up causing more harm. The government should stay out of our lives, and we wouldn't have to deal with these scandals in the first place.
