Nov 5 (Reuters) - Democrat Josh Stein won the North Carolina governor's race on Tuesday, Fox News projected, defeating Republican Mark Robinson, whose candidacy imploded following a CNN report that he had called himself a "Black Nazi" and made other offensive remarks on a pornographic website.

Robinson, the Southern state's lieutenant governor, has denied the allegations and filed a defamation lawsuit against CNN.

Robinson was endorsed by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who previously praised him as "Martin Luther King on steroids" but whose campaign distanced itself after the scandal broke in September.

Robinson advocated for bringing back slavery for some people and posted "gratuitously sexual and lewd" posts on the site, CNN reported, comments the Republican has denied making.

Robinson had a history of inflammatory comments even before the CNN report, including referring to homosexuality and transgenderism as "filth" and online posts that questioned the Holocaust. He has defended the "filth" comment and apologized for the "wording" of his antisemitic posts.

He was a pretty poor candidate. One might think that the Democrats engineered his primary win.
