A porn site user who went by the name Mark Robinson also expressed admiration for Hitler's Mein Kampf.

 The North Carolina Republican nominee for governor denied today that he wrote incendiary posts that have derailed his campaign in the battleground state - a claim that would seem to contradict his own confirmation to a reporter earlier this week.

A user connected to North Carolina gubernatorial nominee Mark Robinson praised Adolf Hitler's book "Mein Kampf," alongside declaring himself a "black NAZI," screenshots obtained by The Washington Post reveal.

All posts from Nude Africa's porn forum disappeared Thursday, the same day CNN reported on all the ways that account looked like Robinson. A user with access to the site before they were deleted provided screenshots to The Post.

Mein Kampf is a good read," wrote one user, dubbed "minisoldr," in a thread seeking book recommendations. "It's very informative and not at all what I thought it would be. It's a real eye-opener." The book, an autobiography by Hitler, casts Jews as an "eternal parasite."

North Carolina Republican Lt. Gov. Robinson denied writing minisoldr's posts, and a spokesman, Mike Lonergan, reiterated that on Friday. But CNN pointed out many links between Robinson and minisoldr, which matches Robinson's username on public accounts and lists the user's full name as "mark robinson."

The old posts have upended Robinson's campaign for governor in a battleground state also crucial to Republican Donald Trump's hopes to retake the White House. Trump praised and endorsed Robinson in the primary, despite some worry in the GOP that Robinson's long history of incendiary comments would be a serious vulnerability. Now Democrats hope Robinson will drag down other GOP candidates.

Lonergan replied Friday to requests for comment on the Mein Kampf post and others with a press release bashing Robinson's Democratic opponent, Josh Stein.

Minisoldr at nude africa was also writing at length and in graphic detail about screwing his sister-in-law outside of wedlock. Politico reported Thursday that the same email Robinson used on the porn site was registered on Ashley Madison, a website used for extramarital affairs. Lonergan told Politico that Robinson denies having an Ashley Madison account and did not respond to The Post on Friday when asked if Robinson denies having an affair with his sister-in-law.

Robinson stayed in the gubernatorial race past a Thursday deadline to withdraw, despite some pressure from Republicans to get out in light of the CNN revelations. The state Republican Party issued a statement of support, but others in the GOP are working to distance themselves. Robinson is not expected to attend Trump's Saturday rally in Wilmington, N.C., according to a person familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss planning.

Some Republicans had already been leery of Robinson's social media history — and especially his statements that were anti-Semitic and Nazi-apologists — before the Nude Africa posts became public this week. He often told followers on his public Facebook account that they were too focused on Nazis and not concerned enough about communism — even in the weeks after a 2017 neo-Nazi rally in Charlottesville drew national outrage.
