Crazy and Crazier

We’ve never seen anything quite like this before – it’s all over the news not just here but around the country: Stories about how Mark Robinson dove into a porn site, posted checkered comments for four years.

It’s either the worst smear ever – or it’s true and just plain shocking.

Robinson, himself, said it’s not true. But usually, when you’re in a campaign and your opponent smears you with a lie – or a dozen lies – you lay one of those lies on the table, point at it, prove it’s not true, and the smear backfires on your opponent. He becomes the villain.

But Robinson didn’t do that. And the political world exploded. On Robinson. And Republicans.

The state Republican party put out a press release, backed Robinson 100%. Other Republicans, unsure, said, It’s concerning. Robinson’s got to prove it’s not true. Trump didn’t say a word about Robinson at his rally on Saturday.

On Sunday, a block of Robinson’s staff walked out the door, resigned.

Democrats charged.

Kamala Harris blanketed the internet with ads of Trump calling Robinson ‘Martin Luther King on steroids.’  And get ready to see more ads like that about Republican candidates who’ve hugged Robinson.

During the primary Trump told Republicans, Elect Robinson. They nodded, marched down the wrong road, and crazy got crazier.
