After “Black Nazi” and Mein Kampf revelations, Newsmax's Greg Kelly praises Mark Robinson: “I don't think he literally meant he was a Nazi. The Soup Nazi, right?”

Kelly: “It's a figure of speech, all right? I don't think he literally meant he was a Nazi.”

On September 19, CNN published a bombshell story on the writings of North Carolina lieutenant governor and GOP gubernatorial nominee Mark Robinson. The Washington Post then reported more details on September 20:

A porn site user linked to North Carolina gubernatorial nominee Mark Robinson praised Adolf Hitler’s book “Mein Kampf” in addition to declaring himself a “black NAZI,” according to screenshots obtained by The Washington Post.

The user’s posts on porn forum Nude Africa vanished Thursday, the same day that CNN reported on the many ways the account resembled Robinson. A person with access to the site before their deletion provided The Post with screenshots.

“Mein Kampf is a good read,” the user, dubbed “minisoldr,” wrote in a thread seeking book recommendations. “It’s very informative and not at all what I thought it would be. It’s a real eye opener.” The book, an autobiography by Hitler, casts Jews as an “eternal parasite.”

From the September 25, 2024, edition of Newsmax's Greg Kelly Reports

GREG KELLY (HOST): Where is he? There he is. Mark Robinson, lieutenant governor of North Carolina, running for governor. I think he's he just might be my favorite candidate running for governor right now. This guy is getting such a raw deal from the media, Democrats and yeah, Republicans too. They haven't even bothered to read the fake news story. You know, they just heard about it. They — oh — I got people saying, I can't believe you're defending that guy. Have you read the story? Honestly? Have you actually read it? Number one, he denies it. Gotta remember that. And then when you actually do read it, you see what a joke this is. They're playing a big game with us. All right? He's out there defending himself. I think he needs some backup. All right? I think he needs some backup.

Now, the big disturbing headline in this — well, disturbing — is the whole thing about the Black Nazi, a comment he may or may not have made when he was a forklift driver in 2010, when he was hanging around his basement. Well, it's a figure of speech, alright? I don't think he literally meant he was a Nazi. The Soup Nazi, right? Were they talking about Nazi guards at Auschwitz or anything like that? No, they were talking about a funny character in Seinfeld.

You want to talk a real serious issue, though? How about antisemitism in the Democrat Party right now?
