Battleground state Republican denies involvement in porn scandal, dismisses it as 'tabloid trash'

Republican North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson denied involvement in an alleged pornography scandal that surfaced Thursday, vowing to remain in the race to become the Old North State's next governor. 

CNN published a report Thursday afternoon alleging Robinson's previous use of a pornography site, called "Nude Africa," where he allegedly messaged with fellow users regarding peeping on women in locker rooms as a teenager, describing himself as a "black NAZI" and declaring a fondness for transgender pornography.
