Robinson was making an appearance at the Mayberry truck show in Mount Airy when he was injured, campaign spokesperson Mike Lonergan said in a statement.
Robinson was treated at Northern regional hospital in Mount Airy for second-degree burns, he added.
The rest of the article is fluff.
He must have gotten too close to the latest poll numbers
He was just basking in the rosy glow of his campaign while it goes up in smoke
And second degree burning is blistering. Could've been as simple as leaning against a truck exhaust.
Edit: Oh, I stand corrected. It is blistering at most.
That's the most likely explanation for what happened.
From all the fire jokes people have been telling about his forum days?
Robinson was making an appearance at the Mayberry truck show in Mount Airy when he was injured...
didn’t immediately respond to texts seeking details on how and where the burns occurred.
My money is on; He burned his lips on a truck tail pipe.
You have to use lube and slow down some.
Cowards do
My guess is he stuck his hand on the exhaust, or something similar.
I wonder if somebody saw him right before he burnt himself and didn't stop him
I hope they elbowed the person next to them. "Hey, look, look!"
“He is in good spirits, appreciates the outpouring of well wishes, and is excited to return to the campaign trail as scheduled first thing”
Damn, shame.
It's not so bad. I hope he stays on the ballot for his shellacking in November, then goes down with his wife (ayy) when they get arrested for the $130k they appear to have misused from the DHHS
