Salacious posts that North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson purportedly made on a pornography website have been deleted in the 24 hours since CNN first drew attention to them.

The posts in question, which Robinson denied were his and had previously appeared on on the “Nude Africa” pornographic website, have been removed. POLITICO confirmed the posts’ removal after reviewing message board threads on the website that previously featured comments from a username Robinson has used on other platforms.

A profile page for the account in question remains on the website, and “mark robinson” is listed as the account holder’s name.

I think their point was just that he has control of the account. Whether that’s because he knew the password, or used a forgot password link doesn’t really matter, he would have to control the email for that account to reset the password.

It’s unclear why the posts were deleted after the CNN story published.
