Trump PLAYS DUMB When Asked About Mark Robinson, The Self-Described 'Black Nazi'

Former President Donald Trump told reporters that he didn't “know the situation” with North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson's unveiled comments on a pornography message board.

Are you going to pull your endorsement of Mark Robinson? - I don't know the situation. - That's right. Trump doesn't know the situation with Mark Robinson. The Republican gubernatorial candidate in North Carolina that he is close with and has been friends with for some time. [00:00:16] So Forrest Show in America will remind you who Mark Robinson is. Mark Robinson is an anti-abortion extremist who supports total bans without exception. Described the LGBTQ plus community as filth is a Christian nationalist [00:00:35] who said there's no room in America for other religions, and recently was discovered to have called himself a black Nazi on the Nude Africa forums. And that last point is the most recent controversy for Robinson, which has led to some Republicans calling for him to drop out of the race, [00:00:52] except undermining Trump's claim that he doesn't know the situation. Is Mark Robinson, who said this two days ago. From President Trump. We've spoken to him, had great conversations with him, but we have chosen to do that. And because we want to make sure that he wins this state. [00:01:09] Of course, Trump knows the situation with Mark Robinson. He has for some time campaigned for him, advocated for him, endorsed him and said this about him. Take a look. I think you're better than Martin Luther King. I think you are Martin Luther King. Times two. [00:01:27] And he looked at me and I wasn't sure. Was he angry? Because that's a terrible thing to say. Or was he complimented? I have never figured it out, but I'm telling you, he's one of right. When I said that to you, you look like. I don't know if I like that comment. [00:01:42] You should like it because you are outstanding and you're going to be the next governor. - So that's going to be very cool. - Now, in response to Trump's comments, the Harris campaign issued a statement saying it's impossible to believe that somehow Donald Trump missed the news about his hand-picked candidate [00:02:00] for governor, calling himself a Nazi. Trump has been to North Carolina twice since the news broke and is still standing by Robinson, even as the people who know Robinson best are abandoning him. New polling shows that Robinson is trailing his opponent, Josh Stein, [00:02:15] by 17 points, but that's brutal. But many Republicans will look past Robinson's comments, his past, his controversies, everything. And Trump knows exactly the type of person who will help Robinson get potentially across the finish line. [00:02:31] Take a look. You got to get out and vote, but you got to help him financially because you're all people that have a lot of money. I know plenty of you and you're rich as hell, so anything you are going to do it quadruple it. It doesn't mean it's just, you know, but let's go somebody [00:02:48] that we have to be very, very careful. We have to cherish. We have to cherish. Mark. He's a star. You have to cherish him. It's like a fine wine because that's what you have. You have a fine wine. He's an outstanding person. I've gotten to know him so well and fairly quickly. He knows him well and fairly got got to know him fairly quickly. [00:03:06] Hey, don't scroll away. Come back, come back. Because before the video continues, we just want to urge you to lend your support to TYT. You power our honest reporting. You do it at tight.com/team and we love you for it. If you know a person really well and they say that they talked to you recently [00:03:24] and there's a giant national story about how he called himself a Nazi, you'd think maybe you look into it a little bit. I mean, you've had over a week now. It's not like it happened yesterday. So has Trump looked into it? Of course. And he doesn't want to back away from an endorsement that he gave. [00:03:43] So guys, people keep using the word the phrase black Nazi because Mark Robinson said that on on online. Right. But forget whether he's black, white or whatever he is. He called himself a Nazi. There's a Nazi running for governor in North Carolina, by the way, [00:03:59] also against a Jewish candidate. Kind of awkward. Okay. But I according to Trump, there's good people on both sides. So now it's not like Jordan and you other crazy things he said, but not all of them. He also said wooden women shouldn't be allowed to vote, and he said [00:04:16] that before Donald Trump's endorsement, that wasn't the latest controversy. Donald Trump knows that Mark Robinson thinks that women shouldn't be allowed to vote, and he said he's Martin Luther King Times two. And he said in the comments that just came out that he was pro slavery. [00:04:34] It doesn't have to make sense. I mean, half of the political leaders of MAGA are or should be in mental asylums. Herschel Walker was literally mentally, you know, I don't I don't want to be insulting, I don't know, deranged, sick, unhealthy, whatever you want to say. [00:04:51] This guy is obviously unhealthy. Brother, I don't know if you know this. I don't know if you own a mirror. You're black, okay? And this moron thinks, no, no, no, it's okay, I'm Uncle Ruckus. I'm going to be fine. In fact, he said he'd like to own a couple of slaves. Now, we all know this. The whole country knows this guy wants to bring slavery back. [00:05:09] He's running for governor of North Carolina. And the Republican Party is like, Atta boy, let's bring back slavery to North Carolina. How is the entire Republican Party not gotten rid of this guy? And Trump's like, no, I'm good. I'm not even done. He also said that you should kill people you disagree with. [00:05:27] And Trump has not unendorsed him. So hey MAGA, if you can't figure out why we think Trump's a madman, it's things like this. If you can't find enough courage to denounce a Nazi. Well, then you shouldn't be overly surprised when we think you're deranged [00:05:45] and potentially dictatorial. I spoke to somebody in who's a reporter, a peer of ours, and he is pretty well sourced in Trump world. And he said that right now they have no the Trump people have no idea [00:06:01] how to figure out whether or not Robinson is hurting them. And the by pulling an endorsement. Would that hurt Trump even more in that state or not? And that's just unbelievable that that's where we are in politics today, where [00:06:16] somebody called themselves a black Nazi. Somebody said all of these things, and you're wondering if it would hurt you to pull your endorsement from that person, not endorse them, but pull your endorsement. And, you know, again, many of the people I spoke to in North Carolina online waiting to see the former president speak, [00:06:32] said to me that even if some did say that if the allegations are proven true, that they wouldn't be able to vote for Robinson. Most people didn't believe the allegations, and some said even if they were true, they couldn't vote for Josh Stein. They would vote for Robinson. Yeah. Look, I got to say last two things here on that because one, it's absolutely amazing [00:06:52] that there are not sure if Republican voters would prefer that he stay with the Nazi or get rid of the Nazi. Wow. That is more damning of Republican voters than anything we have ever said on air. [00:07:08] And we didn't. We're not the ones saying that. Apparently they're having an internal conversation with the Trump team. That's how monstrous they think the Republican voters are their own base. And then secondly, even if it hurts you, you might want to denounce the Nazi. But that thought has never occurred to Donald Trump. [00:07:25] Oh, that that he thinks that not only is he a Nazi, he says there should be no room for any other religions. Jewish, Muslim, Hindu. It doesn't matter. No room. Only room for Nazis. And he's like, yeah, but how does it affect me? That's why Donald Trump is a terrible person. [00:07:42] All right, bonus episode for the members. You guys are going to love it.
