Mark Robinson receives medical treatment for burns following campaign event incident, campaign confirms

Republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson is currently being treated for burns after an incident at a campaign event in Mt. Airy. His communications director confirmed that Robinson is in good spirits. The details surrounding the incident are unclear, but the event was canceled due to a lack of power caused by Hurricane Helene. This incident comes after a CNN report alleged that Robinson made antisemitic and racist comments on a porn website years ago. In response to the report, four top staff members of his campaign resigned, but the campaign did not directly link their departures to the allegations. Despite some Republicans expressing concern, Robinson has denied the allegations and remained defiant. The Harris campaign has tried to link Robinson to former President Donald Trump, who endorsed him before the report was released, in hopes of flipping North Carolina blue. Winning North Carolina is seen as crucial for Republicans to win the White House.
