Republican governor of this swing state revokes Mark Robinson endorsement: report

Georgia Republican Governor Brian Kemp has revoked his support of North Carolina GOP gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.

Kemp's reversal comes after CNN last week reported that the far-right, Donald Trump-backed candidate "made a series of inflammatory comments on a pornography website’s message board more than a decade ago, in which he referred to himself as a 'black NAZI!' and expressed support for reinstating slavery."

Per the AJC, the Georgia lawmaker issued a statement Monday "after The Atlanta Journal-Constitution obtained photographs of Kemp speaking at an August fundraiser in North Carolina for Robinson."

Kemp staffer Cody Hall told the newspaper, "The governor attended the fundraiser as vice chair of the Republican Governors Association and will not be offering further support to the Robinson campaign."

The Georgia governor has said he still plans to support Donald Trump — who fiercely backs Robinson — in November.
