    Save you a click:

    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.

      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.

      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

    From all the fire jokes people have been telling about his forum days?

    You have to use lube and slow down some.

    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
