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.....
