The revelations surrounding the N.C. governor candidate mark a test of voters’ tolerance for disturbing allegations in the Trump era.

Trump has long praised the GOP gubernatorial nominee, but his campaign is now distancing itself following a CNN report about Robinson's alleged posts on a pornography website’s message board. Robinson has denied writing the posts and says he's not leaving the race.

While the Republican nominee for NC governor is not expected in Wilmington Saturday, his campaign said he will be at a meet and greet in Fayetteville.
