NC Lt. Gov suing CNN for $50 mil.

www.wral.com...

Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson said during a news conference Tuesday morning that he will be suing CNN for defamation after the news organization reported that he made racist, explicit comments on a porn site -- referring to himself as a "Black Nazi" and calling for the reinstatement of slavery.

(keeping in mind, Robinson is a black man, and has been all his life)

Still don't know what the truth is here, but Robinson claims the charges are totally false. He had the option to step down, or fight. It seems he chose option B. The damage to his campaign is massive, so if this is as advertised, and Robinson is innocent of these things, I don't expect this to be the only lawsuit filed.

And to be clear, whatever you think about Mark Robinson doesn't change the facts of this. Since he chose to fight this, if he really did make those posts, this would be the dumbest move ever, so from my view, this looks like a political hit, just as it did when it came out. BAMN.

Oh wow. First time hearing this one. Are the allegations true? Or did someone spoof him on the site? I can see someone trolling and posting as him. But if this is true he doesn't have much of a case.

I came across this article.

He bemoaned the lack of support he said he was receiving from Jewish voters, saying if he failed to win the election, "the Jewish people would really have a lot to do with that".

uhhhhhhh.....

It wouldn't be hard for an experienced hacker to create a fake account that directly tied to his WIFI. That hacker is probably tied to his opposition or the opposition campaign...or possibly to someone he pissed off over the years.

The news agencies parroting possible false information should make them liable. We need to make our News agencies so they do not parrot misinformation and that includes parroting information created by others to defame the person. Our news agencies should not be stating things if there is even a chance it came from someone who hacked to make it appear someone dd something wrong. I do not like the way that technology is screwing up our society by people utilizing it to dishonestly destroy people's lives

One thing is telling, the timing.

Reports emerged earlier Thursday that CNN was planning to publish a damaging story that could lead other Republicans to call on Robinson to drop out of the race. In a video posted to X before the CNN story was published, Robinson flatly denied that he said anything in the CNN report and insisted he won't drop out. North Carolina will begin mailing ballots to members of the military and voters outside the U.S. on Friday.

This allegation cannot ever be proven and was done on the eve of ballots being mailed out. The democrats, msm-CNN, and rinos have proven time and time again that there are no limits to how low they will go to smear a republican, especially one that Trump supports and endorses.

Trump has praised Robinson on the campaign trail, including recently at an rally last month in Asheboro, North Carolina.

“Good luck. Mark’s got to win. He’s got to win. Got to win. He’s a good man,” Trump added.
