The Republican candidate also attacked Martin Luther King Jr., calling the civil rights icon “worse than a maggot.”

Mark Robinson, who was endorsed in March by Donald Trump in the race for governor of North Carolina, said he supported slavery, called himself a “black NAZI,” and graphically described “peeping” on women in public gym showers on a porn forum called “Nude Africa,” CNN KFile reported Thursday.

The comments were reportedly made “under the username minisoldr, a moniker Robinson used frequently online.” CNN said it determined the username belonged to the gubernatorial candidate “by matching a litany of biographical details and a shared email address between the two.”

    That’s a pretty ridiculous over the top generalization. Half of the US is not Nazis, lol. This is not a country where 170 million Nazis live.

    I mean, unless of course you dilute the definition of “Nazi” so much that it becomes completely meaningless.

      The political equivalent of the Republican party in Germany is the AfD, rated as a Nazi party and observed by the government agencies because they are a threat to democracy. I would even say that the GOP is actually right of the AfD.

      Yes, this implies that nearly half the US votes for Nazis. Yes, they do.
