Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris is drawing ties between former President Donald Trump and North Carolina GOP gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson, following a bombshell report revealing lewd and racist comments Robinson made on a porn website.
In a series of ad videos posted to X formerly Twitter the Harris campaign highlighted Trumps repeated praise of Robinson, whos now under fire for reportedly referring to himself as a Black Nazi in pseudonymous forum posts . In March, Trump endorsed Robinson at a rally in Greensboro, North Carolina, calling him better than civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.
This is Martin Luther King on steroids, Trump said of Robinson at the time.
Meanwhile, Trump argued this week that rhetoric from President Joe Biden and Harris is causing me to be shot at, although the two Democrats have condemned violence in the wake of a second assassination attempt on Trumps life.
A man was arrested Sunday after Secret Service agents accompanying Trump during a round of golf spotted the muzzle of an assault rifle through the shrubbery by Trumps golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida. The FBI said the incident appeared to be an attempted assassination.
While posting about the news, Trump continued his anti-immigrant fearmongering after his running mate spread a conspiracy theory that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, were stealing local pets for food. Vance continued to promote that narrative even as it was debunked by multiple local officials.

It is not clear what he aims to accomplish with the event, which comes as the community has been facing threats of violence over false allegations that Haitian immigrants are consuming pet animals like cats and dogs.
Were inviting diverse voices from the local community, including Haitian immigrants, Ramaswamy said on social media.
I dont really blame the people of Springfield, either the locals or migrants, for whats happening, he went on, stating that he blames the awful federal policies that callously used these migrants as political pawns.
The Ohio Haitians, however, are largely in the U.S. legally by way of temporary protected status first granted in 2010, when a hurricane devastated Haiti. Conservatives including Trump and Vance have been lumping them in with the waves of migrants arriving at the southern U.S. border to boost their evidence-free claims that migrants are causing violence to spike around the country.

Vivek Ramaswamy To Host Town Hall In Ohio Community Besieged By False Allegations About Cats And Dogs
Right-wing entrepreneur and failed presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy announced a plan to host a town hall at Springfield, Ohios Bushnell Events Center on Thursday evening.
It is not clear what he aims to accomplish with the event, which comes as the community has been facing threats of violence over false allegations that Haitian immigrants are consuming pet animals like cats and dogs.
Were inviting diverse voices from the local community, including Haitian immigrants, Ramaswamy said on social media.
I dont really blame the people of Springfield, either the locals or migrants, for whats happening, he went on, stating that he blames the awful federal policies that callously used these migrants as political pawns.
The Ohio Haitians, however, are largely in the U.S. legally by way of temporary protected status first granted in 2010, when a hurricane devastated Haiti. Conservatives including Trump and Vance have been lumping them in with the waves of migrants arriving at the southern U.S. border to boost their evidence-free claims that migrants are causing violence to spike around the country.
