Donald Trump’s campaign declined to comment Thursday on whether North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, whom the former president once described as “Martin Luther King on steroids,” should drop out of the battleground state’s race for governor.

Democrats are trying to tie Republican candidates up and down the ballot to Robinson after Thursday’s CNN report.

After a media frenzy over a CNN report claiming Mark Robinson called himself a 'black Nazi,' the Lt. Gov. says he will stay in NC governor race.
