"Trump's Controversial Comparison: Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson and the Greensboro Rally"

Former President Donald Trump endorsed North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson in the Republican gubernatorial primary, likening him to Martin Luther King Jr. despite Robinson's history of controversial remarks about homosexuality, religion, and victims of sexual abuse. Robinson, a polarizing figure, has faced criticism for his comments about women, Muslims, Jewish people, and the LGBTQ community. Trump's endorsement comes amid efforts to win over more Black voters, with his campaign spokeswoman defending Robinson as a respected figure in North Carolina.
