North Carolina Republican Mark Robinson denied reports he made racist and lewd internet comments Thursday. Here's what to know about the candidate.

Robinson denied the CNN report, which said he referred to himself as a "black NAZI" and expressed support for bringing back slavery more than 10 years ago.

CNN’s report included that the user posted comments about peeping through a vent into women’s showers and sharing an affinity for transgender pornography, which was referenced using derogatory terms. Robinson has publicly railed against transgender rights in recent years.
