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.

    It’s weird; I didn’t see a single ad for Robinson here in NC until after the scandal broke

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      Dear MAGA SuperPACs, I’ve received more of your mailings than credit card offers and bills combined over the past four month. Though the gaslighting offered by them frequently cause me to laugh out loud at your brazen lies, I still tire from seeing that treasonous pumpkin of a candidate you have in my mailbox. As 99% of these mailings get torn up and thrown straight into my outside recycling bin, you are more than welcome to stop mailing me. Thank you, committed Harris voter in North Carolina.
