Senator Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) has openly stated his reluctance to support North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson's gubernatorial bid amidst controversy.

Following a CNN investigation revealing Robinson's alleged inflammatory remarks on a pornography website concerning race, gender, and sexual orientation, Tillis expressed his intention to focus primarily on bolstering former President Donald Trump and state legislative candidates in the upcoming November elections.

Rather than explicitly stating whether he will cast his vote for Robinson, Tillis emphasized his commitment to advancing the Republican agenda in North Carolina without aligning with Robinson's campaign efforts.

Tillis highlighted his prior endorsement of another candidate during the primaries, indicating a longstanding reservation about Robinson's candidacy. He suggested that Robinson should either admit wrongdoing and withdraw or challenge CNN's allegations legally if unfounded. "The crucial point is not how I vote but ensuring Trump's victory and strengthening our state legislature," said Tillis, underscoring the importance of maintaining Republican dominance in North Carolina initiated in 2011.

Dispelling concerns that Robinson's potential underperformance could detrimentally affect Trump's campaign, Tillis likened blaming Trump for endorsing someone before such allegations surfaced to unfairly holding Kamala Harris accountable for her past commendations of P. Diddy. Tillis urged Robinson to swiftly counteract the accusations laid against him.

Robinson has denounced CNN's report as false and hinted at possible legal action against the network; however, no lawsuit has been filed thus far. The report accused him of making derogative comments online over ten years ago, including referring to himself derogatorily and advocating for slavery—a claim Robinson vehemently denies while remaining a contender in the upcoming gubernatorial election.
