CNN dropped a political bomb on North Carolina politics with an article on Republican candidate for governor Mark Robinson's purported past comments on a porn website that are abhorrent and disgraceful.  I say "purported" because Robinson has denied that they were made by him.  If so, Robinson should commission an immediate investigation into criminal election interference, amongst other charges.  If not, then I will believe the allegations in the article and he should resign and drop out......immediately.  Those are the options.  No more rhetoric.  Lead or leave.
