Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) on Saturday responded to the allegations against North Carolina Republican gubernatorial nominee Mark Robinson, saying they “aren’t necessarily reality.”

While in Pennsylvania, Vance was asked if he is “comfortable” with Robinson as the Republican nominee for governor of North Carolina after a CNN report released on Thursday alleged Robinson used racist, antisemitic, and homophobic slurs in posts on a pornographic forum.
