GREG KELLY (HOST): My message to the guy running in North Carolina, Mark Robinson — he's going through a tough time right now. I don't want him to drop out. I think he's getting a raw deal. Mark Robinson — let's go ahead and put it up — please, do not drop out and I'll tell you what's going on here. The CNN folks — CNN that — I don't trust CNN and nobody should do. Do we have the headline? They did a big story. They went snooping around his — I don't know, what do they? — They found an email address and they think they tracked it to a porn site where he may or may not have been active a dozen years ago when he was a private citizen and a forklift operator. OK? A forklift operator — you're allowed to do that when you come home from work. All right? You're allowed to do whatever you want in America.
And this whole thing, I'm not buying that he is a Nazi sympathizer. That stuff — Nazi — the Holo — it's awful, it's awful, it's awful, it's awful. Yes, but the Nazi word has kind of entered our lexicon, right? If you look it up. Yeah. You got the horrible German party, but you also have this, a person who is fanatically dedicated or seeks to regulate a specified activity or practice. Anybody remember Seinfeld? Anybody remember the soup Nazi? The whole country thought this was funny.
...
KELLY: And let's take a look at the soup Nazi. Right? It's a thing, people say that word. I don't care what kind of pornography he liked or did not like or anything like that. One thing no one has alleged — he doesn't like anything with kids. And that's the important part, don't you think? There's nothing illegal going on here.
Who is he running against, Mark Robinson? All right. Can we jump down? He's running against a career politician who's been covering his rear end since college. This guy — watch.
...
KELLY: All right. Sure, I'm sure you learned that, right? What did he say? You learned that in a campaign handbook. How to run for office. I don't know if he learned that at the schools he went to. All right? Did you fight for anything when you were at Dartmouth? Did you fight for anything when you were at Harvard Law School and all those places? Did you really fight for anything? How about when you were a career politician managing John Edwards' campaign? Do you remember that guy? I just don't know if this guy is much of a fighter. All right, I'm not buying it. But Mark Robinson, yeah, I totally buy it. And I don't buy CNN. And neither should anybody at this point. We're just going off of these people? CNN?
