WILKESBORO, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina Republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson is vowing to rebuild his campaign staff. Several aides have quit, and a Republican group announced Monday it has backed off helping Robinson’s campaign. A CNN report last week alleged the sitting lieutenant governor made racial and sexual posts on a pornography website’s message board more than a decade ago. Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee says that the Republican Governors Association will no longer support Robinson. Robinson has denied writing the messages from more than a decade ago. He told reporters Monday the campaign was getting offers from all over to work for it.
