Mark Robinson, the firebrand Republican nominee for governor in North Carolina, has a history of making comments that downplay sexual assault and domestic violence. He has defended Harvey Weinstein and blamed Ray Rice's 'lady friend' for being punched by Rice. A review of social media posts shows that Robinson has frequently made such comments for years. These comments could potentially strain the GOP's efforts to flip the governor's seat in North Carolina.
