Robinson, who’s called LGBTQ people “maggots” and slut-shamed people who have abortions, has some very horny skeletons in his closet… or, should I say, his private booth?
Republican Mark Robinson is running for governor in North Carolina, but three decades ago, he was seemingly running for Porn Shop Customer of the Year: According to multiple people, in the 1990s, Robinson was a regular at a North Carolina 24/7 porn shop called Gents, where he would show up five nights a week to watch videos in a private booth. “Every night that I worked, which would have been five nights a week, I saw Mark,” one ex-employee, Louis Money, told North Carolina’s The Assembly. “He was spending a good amount of money.”
Several customers recounted Robinson ordering pizza for fellow patrons and porn shop employees—and for himself, to eat in the booth with his, err, film. Many of the men who spoke with The Assembly seemed to have fond memories of their time with Robinson. One fellow customer said Robinson, who’s since characterized Black Panther as a movie made by “an agnostic Jew and put to film by satanic Marxists,” was a “regular dude” who “didn’t really seem hyper-political.” Money said Robinson was “hilarious”: “He would have like five or six of us up front dying laughing at 4 in the morning. Almost like a standup routine—not copying Andrew Dice Clay, but almost like doing an Andrew Dice Clay comedy bit.” Similarly, another former customer called Robinson a “jokester” who would “bring pizza every once in a while, and he’d tell jokes and what have you, and then go look at videos.” Another former employee said Robinson tended to show up late and “would talk for 10, 15, 20 minutes about every time he came in there” before, of course, meandering off to take care of business. Another employee, who said Robinson came in “often,” stressed that back then, “he was a cool dude” and “wasn’t an asshole like he is now.”
