This follows a bombshell report last week which found that Robinson had posted racist and sexually explicit comments online.

    Mark Robinson attended a truck show in Mt Airy NC tonight. He burned his hand leaning against a truck and was taken to the hospital. I’m told by an official source that he is fine and home now.

        That’s painful. I did that once: stepping down from the truck, I grabbed the handhold running up behind the door…. But it wasn’t a handhold. I got pretty lucky since I was actually holding onto it, so was in contact way too long. However I plunged my hand into a snow bank and was mostly ok

    So he had his hands on some dude’s tailpipe and it was so hot, it sent him to the ER with burns. Checks out.

      Going with flammable material for the hood was a poor choice. Not very breathable too.

    Mike Lonergan, a campaign spokesperson, said in a statement late Friday night that the 56-year-old Robinson suffered second-degree burns during an “incident at a campaign appearance at the Mayberry Truck Show in Mt. Airy,” a city located near the border of North Carolina and Virginia.

      Without further specific context, I just assumed this was a parody piece given the recent revelations.

      Mt. Airy is Andy Griffith’s home town, and was the inspiration for Mayberry.

    They’re using pyrotechnics at GOP events, I guess.
