Republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson “is currently being treated for burns,” his communications director confirmed to NBC News on Friday night.

“Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson is currently being treated for burns following an incident at a campaign event in Mt. Airy. He is in good spirits,” said Mike Lonergan, the Robinson campaign’s communications director.

Lonergan was responding to an NBC News question about a NewsNation report saying that the North Carolina candidate was hospitalized.
