North Carolina Democrats plan to use college football games to remind the Tar Heel State of former President Trump’s affiliation with Republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson.
Advertisements will circle around the stadiums at the University of Carolina at Chapel Hill versus Duke University and North Carolina State University versus Northern Illinois University football games to showcase Trump’s positive comments about Robinson, dubbing him “MLK on steroids.”
The targeted campaign approach, organized by the Democratic National Committee, comes just a week after a scathing CNN report about Robinson alleged he proclaimed himself as a “black Nazi” in online chatrooms dating back over 10 years.
“While North Carolinians gather to watch the state’s most notorious sports rivalry, Democrats will be reminding spectators of one of the state’s most notorious partnerships – Mark Robinson and Donald Trump,” said DNC Spokesperson Kenny Palmer in a statement.Democrats said the goal of the ads is to “sack extremism” in the state by reminding voters of the two Republicans’ support of abortion bans and “hateful rhetoric.”
