CNN Earns Threat of Legal Action For Report On GOP Candidate

North Carolina gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson (R-NC) has announced plans to pursue legal action against CNN following the network’s investigative report linking him to offensive and lewd comments made on an adult website years ago.

Robinson, the current lieutenant governor of North Carolina, denies the allegations, claiming they are part of a larger effort to undermine his campaign.

“We absolutely are [taking action],” Robinson said during an interview on Monday. “We’re in talks right now, everything up to legal counsel to take CNN to task for what they have done to us. We are going after them. We are going to go after them for what they’ve done.”

The allegations come from a CNN KFile report linking Robinson to derogatory comments made under the username “minisoldr” on an adult entertainment website.

CNN claims that these comments, dating back over a decade, contain racially charged remarks and extreme views that are inconsistent with his current public position. Robinson strongly denies these allegations, stating that they are fabricated and intended to divert voters’ attention from the real issues affecting the people of North Carolina.

“Make no mistake about it. We are not going to let CNN throw us off of our mission,” Robinson said. “Our mission is to win this race. And quite frankly, I am dismayed about the fact, as I said before, think about how many people out there right now, right in this place where we are right now who are hooked on fentanyl, who are hooked on opioids and how many will die tonight because of it? Think about what’s going on on our border. Think about what’s going on on the world stage.”

“You better understand, I am coming after CNN full throttle,” Robinson added. “But we’ve got to put the people first, and in order to do that, we’ve got to concentrate on this campaign. And that is exactly what we’re going to do.”

WATCH:


Before the accusations surfaced last Thursday, Robinson had been closing the polling gap with his Democratic opponent, North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein. The Democratic AG, who has held various political positions in the state, is campaigning to become North Carolina’s first Jewish governor.

Despite this, Robinson’s message has resonated with many voters who feel dissatisfied with the current political establishment.
