Laurie Buckhout Hilariously Ties Herself to Mark Robinson (VIDEO)

...Then Tries to Untie the Knot as Fast as Possible

Republicans are scrambling to untether themselves from Mark Robinson, the North Carolina gubernatorial candidate outed yesterday by CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski for making some wildly ratchet posts on the site NudeAfrica.com.

Enter Laurie Buckhout who, like many oh so many GOP candidates seeking reelction, has been working over time to scrub her social media history (see below) of photos posing with the disgraced Robinson. Sadly for Buckhout, the YouTube time machine doesn’t forget. Here she is “tying” herself to Robinson and Trump, in her own words — 

“It’s very hard to tell fact from fiction anymore on folks like President Trump and Lt. Gov. Robinson. Frankly, I have no reservations about tying myself to leaders like that at all. They are true conservatives. I’m a conservative fighter. I’m proud of that label.”

Here are some screenshots of tweets deleted from Buckhout’s profile on X —

Oops.

And just in case you were wondering, this isn’t some casual acquaintance. Buckhout and her husband Paul have poured over $17,000 into Robinson’s campaign, according to the North Carolina State Board of Elections which tracks donations to candidates.

Which brings us to the silence. Despite Robinson’s porn-related skeletons tumbling out of his closet in full view, Buckholt has yet to say anything about it. No condemnation, no distancing herself—nothing.

“Laurie Buckhout’s blatant attempt to hide her relationship with Mark Robinson won’t work as she refuses to condemn his alleged behavior and call for him to step down,” said DCCC spokeswoman Lauryn Fanguen in a statement to Capitol Press. “Actions speak louder than words, and in this case, her loud actions and lack of words are telling.”

The House is scheduled to return Monday to Capitol Hill for next week’s session beginning at noon ET.
