North Carolina Lt. Governor Mark Robinson has been released from the hospital after receiving treatment for burn injuries. Robinson was attending the Mayberry Truck Show and Parade in Mount Airy on Friday (September 27) when he was rushed to the hospital, according to NewsNation.

"He is in good spirits," Mike Lonergan, communications director for Robinson's gubernatorial campaign, told CNN.

Washington Post reporter Amy Gardner said that Robinson burned his hand while leaning up against a truck.

"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," Gardner wrote on X.

Robinson has been under fire after following a CNN report about inflammatory remarks Robinson allegedly made on a pornographic website.

While Robinson has denied making the remarks, many Republicans have been distancing themselves from the Lieutenant Governor.
