On Gun Control: Opposed cancelling gun show after Parkland shooting

Robinson, whose political rise as a conservative Internet personality started when a clip of him speaking at a city council meeting in April 2018 went viral, as he was speaking against a proposal to cancel a local gun show after the Parkland shooting. He also began attacking the Parkland survivors after they launched the "March for Our Lives" movement that called for new gun control measures, comparing the students to communists.

On Principles & Values: I didn't comment on porn sites & I'm not dropping out

Despite a recent history of anti-transgender rhetoric, Robinson said he enjoyed watching transgender pornography, a review of archived messages found. The comments, which Robinson denies making, predate his entry into politics and current stint as North Carolina's lieutenant governor. They were made under a username that CNN was able to identify as Robinson by matching a litany of biographical details and a shared email address between the two.

In an interview with CNN, Robinson repeatedly denied that he made the comments on Nude Africa. CNN first reached out to Robinson Tuesday morning with evidence connecting him to the comments on Nude Africa. It took his campaign two days to respond and issue a denial. During his interview with CNN, Robinson repeatedly said the issues that faced North Carolinians were more important than what he called "tabloid trash."

"We are not getting out of this race. There are people who are counting on us to win this race," Robinson said.
