A North Carolina Republican raised eyebrows last week when his controversial online handle linked to a "Black Nazi" pornographic website scandal appeared during a routine government meeting.
Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson was accused late last year of using the username "minisoldr" to post racist and lewd comments on a pornographic website called Nude Africa, WRAL reported.
Some of the inflammatory statements included declaring himself a "Black Nazi" and others appearing to support slavery.
The allegations, first reported by CNN, became a major campaign issue, and contributed to Robinson's decisive 15-point loss to Democratic Attorney General Josh Stein in November's gubernatorial election.
During a recent virtual meeting of North Carolina's Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, Robinson's infamous username "minisoldr" appeared on-screen.
Robinson, who briefly addressed the meeting before mentioning a dental procedure and leaving, did not respond to questions about the handle.
He has denied the claims, alleging they are part of a broader effort to sabotage him, potentially involving AI manipulation.
Meanwhile, Robinson's lawsuit against CNN over its reporting is ongoing, with the network pushing to move the case to federal court.
