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.

Lol sorry if I wasted your time.
Can we get that truck a medal?
He touched an exhaust pipe didn't he...
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
Is there a hot hole he won't touch?
I did that when I was like 6. I didn't know! Hurt like hell! My palm swole up into a giant blister.
yes, a six year old gets a pass
I was sure this headline as going to be on an article from theonion.com detailing witty insults lobbed the the GOP candidate since his unmasking on the porn site.
Dude, can you do my levels for me I burned my hands... My room mates are total freaks...
"There was a fire and i saved it from this baby."
I’m thinking about getting metal legs. It’s a risky operation but totally worth it.
"You didn't knock, Caine."
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.
Hey don't stigmatize!
It could've been glowing his truck nuts as well.
Don’t stand so close to the cross in those robes 🤷♂️
Going with flammable material for the hood was a poor choice. Not very breathable too.
Sick burns?
He gets burned regularly this man. One could say he would be used to it by now.
We don't need no water...
Let the motherfucker burn...
hahahaha sure, did he get his ear "shot" off 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.
They're using pyrotechnics at GOP events, I guess.

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.
