If you're familiar with Mark Robinson, the Republican candidate for governor in North Carolina, it's probably for his hard-line stance on abortion and his outlandish claims on everything from Black Panther (made by "an agnostic Jew and put to film by satanic Marxists") to the Holocaust ("hogwash"). But get ready for a new and slightly more fun reason: In the 1990s and early 2000s, the Evangelical Christian used to go to the pornography store a lot. Like, a lot.
That's according to a former employee at 24-hour porn-video shops in Greensboro, who spoke with the North Carolina investigative website The Assembly. He says Robinson was coming in to watch videos in a private booth as many as five nights a week. The man, Louis Money, said that at one of the stores he worked at, Gents, patrons could buy videos for $50 each or "preview" them in private booths for $8. "Every night that I worked, which would have been five nights a week, I saw Mark," Money said. "He was spending a good amount of money." Robinson previewed at least two tapes a night, per Money. Five other customers and employees confirmed Robinson's frequent presence; one said Robinson would even bring in pizza for the fellas.
