CNN’s Harry Enten Explains How Mark Robinson Porn Scandal Could Cost Trump the Presidency
CNN’s Harry Enten explained how the Mark Robinson “black NAZI!” porn scandal could cost former President Donald Trump the presidency on Friday, noting that Vice President Kamala Harris has a 95% chance of winning the White House if she wins North Carolina.
On Thursday, CNN broke the news that Robinson, the Tar Heel State’s lieutenant governor and Republican nominee for governor, made a number of disturbing comments on a porn website’s message board from 2008 through 2012. During that time period, he called himself a “black NAZI!” and “perv,” as well as professed his love for “tranny on girl porn.” He also expressed his preference for Adolf Hitler to “any of the sh*t that’s in Washington right now.”
Enten broke down how the scandal might affect the presidential race in a segment on Friday morning.
“Mark Robinson was very likely to lose this race even before the scandal. Now he’s likely, more likely to lose this race. But let’s talk about the tie in North Carolina [in the presidential race] and the importance of that state in this election,” began Enten. “So this is the chance of winning the election if you win North Carolina. The bottom line is this: If Kamala Harris wins in the great state of North Carolina, she’s got a 95% chance of winning the election. There are many maps in which she can win the election without North Carolina. That’s less so for Donald Trump because he has only a 77% chance of winning the election if he wins in North Carolina. So the bottom line is: must win state much more for Donald Trump than it is for Kamala Harris.”
He continued:
Still still pretty gosh darn important to both. And you know when we talk about this story and how much of an impact it could potentially have. Look, this is an immediate measure: Google searches for Mark Robinson through the roof since the KFile story came out. Look at this, up over 8,000% nationally and even in the great state of North Carolina, where they were searching for him more than they were nationally, it’s up nearly 4,000%. So the bottom line is this is a scandal that could definitely have a big potential for impact in a very important state in the presidential election.
Trump endorsed Robinson in March, comparing him favorably to Martin Luther King Jr. The gubernatorial nominee’s candidacy was beleaguered by a number of scandals, including his denial of the Holocaust.
