Harris campaign slams Trump's claim he's unfamiliar with Robinson "situation"

 The Harris campaign released a statement saying that it’s “impossible to believe” that former President Donald Trump is unfamiliar with the Mark Robinson scandal in North Carolina after Trump told reporters “I don’t know the situation” earlier on Thursday.

“It’s impossible to believe that, somehow, Donald Trump missed the news about his handpicked candidate for governor calling himself a ‘Nazi.’ Trump has been to North Carolina twice since the news broke and is still standing by Robinson, even as the people who know Robinson best are abandoning him,” campaign spokesperson Ammar Moussa said in a statement. “It’s simple — Trump is committed to Robinson because he sees a loyal MAGA soldier intent on working alongside Trump to fan the flames of division and implement their toxic, extreme agenda. North Carolina and America will turn the page on the Trump-Robinson ticket this November.”

Trump, who endorsed Robinson earlier this year, has previously praised the lieutenant governor on several occasions.
