Gov. Mark Robinson\u2019s (R) government office will be stepping down next week, multiple outlets reported on Wednesday, increasing the number of aides parting ways with the state\u2019s GOP gubernatorial candidate following CNN\u2019s explosive report published last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Robinson\u2019s office chief of staff Brian LiVecchi, policy director Jonathan Harris, director of communications John Wesley Waugh and director of government affairs Nathan Lewis will resign on Oct. 1. LiVecchi confirmed the resignations to The New York Times, and WRAL was the first to report on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The development comes as a flurry of Robinson\u2019s campaign staff \u201chave stepped down from their roles\u201d over the weekend following CNN\u2019s bombshell report where the outlet detailed a number of inflammatory comments that Robinson reportedly made on a porn site\u2019s messaging board over a decade ago, including calling himself a \u201cblack NAZI.\u201d He has denied writing the posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lieutenant governor said on Tuesday that he had hired Binnall Law Group, a law firm, to investigate the \u201cfalse smears\u201d in the CNN report. A number of Republicans nationwide have distanced themselves from Robinson following the report, with some arguing that he should dispute the claims or halt his gubernatorial run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Republican Governors Association said this week that it did not have future ad reservations that would support Robinson in his contest versus state Attorney General Josh Stein (D).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Robinson, elected to his current post in 2020, said on Wednesday that he spoke with political leaders in The Tar Heel State and that his race against Stein is \u201cabout policies, not personalities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNow is not the time for intra-party squabbling and nonsense,\u201d Robinson said Wednesday on X. \u201cWe have 41 days to make our case \u2013 we can\u2019t do it without all hands on deck. From President Trump to our local community officials, we must vote Republican.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Hill reached out to LiVecchi\u2018s office contact for comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Top staff in North Carolina Lt.
