North Carolina Lt. Governor Mark Robinson Files Lawsuit Against CNN Over Defamatory Claims

North Carolina Lt. Governor Mark Robinson is making headlines once again, but this time it’s not for his controversial comments or political stances. Robinson has filed a lawsuit against CNN over a recent story that accused him of making racial and sexual comments on a porn site, which he vehemently denies.

During a news conference in Raleigh, Robinson announced the lawsuit, which was filed in Wake County Superior Court. The lawsuit claims that CNN published the story despite knowing or recklessly disregarding that Robinson’s data had been compromised in multiple data breaches.

The report alleged that Robinson left comments over a decade ago on a message board where he referred to himself as a “black NAZI,” expressed a preference for Hitler over then-President Barack Obama, and claimed to partake in transgender pornography. These comments are in stark contrast to Robinson’s public stances, including his views on bathroom use and transgender rights.

Despite the controversy, Robinson remains determined to stay in the governor’s race, where he is currently trailing behind his Democratic opponent, Josh Stein. Robinson has faced criticism in the past for his remarks on various issues, but he remains confident that he will come out victorious in the end.

As the lawsuit against CNN unfolds, all eyes will be on Robinson as he continues his campaign for governor amidst this latest scandal.
