Mark Robinson Denies Frequenting Greensboro Porn Shops in the 90s
- Several former employees and customers claim Mark Robinson frequently visited Greensboro's video-porn shops in the 1990s.
- Robinson's campaign has vehemently denied these allegations, labeling the accusers as unreliable.
- The controversy surrounding Robinson's past may affect his political career and public image.
In the 1990s and early 2000s, Mark Robinson was reportedly a frequent customer at two Greensboro video-porn shops, Gents Video & News and I-40 Video & News, according to several former employees and customers. Louis Money, a former employee, claimed to have seen Robinson often, stating that he would come in with pizza, rent previews, and use private booths. This behavior contrasts sharply with Robinson's current public persona as a conservative political figure. Robinson's campaign has strongly denied these allegations, asserting that Money's claims are unfounded and that he has a questionable background, including multiple criminal charges. The campaign characterized Money as a “freak show grifter” and attempted to discredit his testimony by highlighting his past. Another former employee, Scott Andrews, expressed surprise at Robinson's transformation, suggesting that he seems embarrassed about his past actions. Andrews noted that many people, including himself, have changed over the years but emphasized the difference in Robinson's public stance compared to his previous behavior. The controversy surrounding Robinson has intensified, especially in light of his wife's now-closed nonprofit organization, Balanced Nutrition. As Robinson continues his political career, these allegations may impact his public image and voter support, raising questions about the authenticity of his current values compared to his past.
