It really helps us out. So in a burning event actually from what I'm understanding, North Carolina gubernatorial

candidate Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson has been injured in some kind of burning incident

Apparently, I'll let the news media explain it to you because I have their clip here

but he's been under a lot lately. A lot of allegations about past posts on certain websites that he says he didn't make

I'm not here to say anything about that because I don't know if he made them

You can make all kinds of things up on the internet. Maybe he did make them

Maybe he didn't make them. I don't know and I will reserve judgment until such time as I know

And even then, who am I to judge what this man did over a decade ago

Over maybe a decade, decade and a half, I think. So yeah, a long time

And now, you know, it just keeps compiling for this guy and now he gets injured

And this is a Trump back candidate. This is a guy Trump really supports, although we haven't heard anything from Trump about

him since the allegations. So I am waiting to hear more about what he thinks about that and what's going on there

That's going to be something to watch. But as for you, I want you to watch this report about what happened to Mr. Robinson

And I don't know, let me know what you think in the comments of the whole situation

We have breaking news just into our newsroom that sources close to Mark Robinson, North

Carolina's current lieutenant governor and the Republican candidate for governor. They're telling Channel 9 that Robinson was hospitalized tonight, that it happened at

a campaign event in Mount Airy. Now we have full coverage of Helene's aftermath for you tonight

But we want to begin with this breaking news. I'm Erica Bryant

And I'm Evan Donovan. In tonight for Scott Wickersham, Channel 9's government reporter Joe Bruno confirmed the

news about Mark Robinson just within the past few minutes. He joins us now on the phone

Joe, tell us what you what you've learned. Yeah, a lot of information still to come here

First of all, our thoughts are with the lieutenant governor. We do hope he is OK

We have confirmed through a source that he has been hospitalized following an incident

at a campaign event in Mount Airy. And again, that is coming from a source using that word, an incident at a campaign event

in Mount Airy. We do know at around five o'clock, he was scheduled to be at the Mayberry truck show

And at this time, we don't have more information on what exactly that incident is or how he

is doing. But we do know that he was taken to the hospital and we are awaiting more updates at this hour

And Joe, again, we do hope that he is going to be OK. But he had some appearances scheduled for tomorrow

And I guess at this point, all of that is on hold. Or have you heard any more

Yeah, I do have a message in on that. He has four events scheduled tomorrow, starting at nine in the morning at 801 Southern Kitchen

and Pancake House in Bermuda Run. We also know he is supposed to stop by a Faith and Freedom Conference in Hickory and

make an appearance at the Hickory Motor Speedway at eight o'clock. But at this time, we don't know more information about why exactly he's in the hospital, how

long he will be there and how this will impact the gubernatorial race

All right. Our Joe Bruno, our government reporter, coming in live with these these new updates from

sources with the campaign. Joe, we know you'll stay on top of this
