Newsmax host Greg Kelly defended North Carolina Christian nationalist gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson by claiming his 'Black Nazi' comment was a funny character, just like the Soup Nazi from Seinfeld. Kelly claimed Republicans are outraged by the CNN story but never read it (no proof) which is ridiculous since most of Robinson's campaign staff quit over the story. "I think he's he just might be my favorite candidate running for governor right now," Kelly said.
