Sen. Tillis issues ultimatum to embattled GOP candidate in crucial swing state: ‘Owes it to President Trump'
[FoxNews] Republican Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., issued an ultimatum to North Carolina's GOP gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson following the bombshell report of his alleged porn scandal, saying that he "owes it to President Trump."

"If the reporting on Mark Robinson is a total media fabrication, he needs to take immediate legal action," Tillis said in a Friday post on X.

"If the reporting is true, he owes it to President Trump and every Republican to take accountability for his actions and put the future of NC & our party before himself," he said.
And if it isn’t true? This is the age of PhotoShop deep fakes, after all.
Tillis' statement came after Robinson made a social media video denying his involvement in the scandal and vowing to remain in the race to become the Old North State's governor.

"Let me reassure you, the things that you will see in that story, those are not the words of Mark Robinson. You know my words, you know my character, and you know that I have been completely transparent in this race and before. Folks, this race right now, our opponents are desperate to shift the focus here from the substantive issues and focus on what you are concerned with to salacious trap, tabloid trash," he said in the X video.

Fox News Digital has reached out to Robinson's campaign for comment.

In comments to CNN, Robinson said that this was "not us."

"This is not us. These are not our words. And this is not anything that is characteristic of me," Robinson said. "I’m not going to get into the minutia of how somebody manufactured this, these salacious tabloid lies."
