(WTVD) &#8212; <\/span>Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson, alongside his legal team, announced Tuesday he has filed a defamation lawsuit against CNN for a report alleging he made inflammatory and racist remarks on a porn website.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">The media outlet reported among the comments, Robinson described himself as a &#8220;black Nazi&#8221; and described how he used to go &#8220;peeping&#8221; on women at a public gym when he was 14 and expressing support for reinstating slavery on a pornographic website Nude Africa.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">From the beginning, the l<a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/abc11.com\/post\/mark-robinson-republican-nc-governor-race-trump-campaign-calls-drop-out-josh-stein\/15326089\/\">ieutenant governor denied<\/a> these alleged comments, calling the report lies. In his lawsuit, Robinson is seeking $50 million in damages from CNN.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">The lawsuit claims that CNN got their information from a dubious source and should have known the posts were created from hacked information found on the dark web. Robinson also called the lawsuit a hit piece and claimed it amounted to election interference.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">ABC News hasn&#8217;t independently verified the story, but CNN has stood by its reporting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">Several of his <a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/abc11.com\/post\/more-staff-members-resign-office-north-carolina-lt-gov-mark-robinson-news-observer-reports\/15355022\/\">campaign staffers resigned<\/a> after the report came out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">&#8220;When times of trouble come in, there&#8217;s this thing we call politics,&#8221; Robinson said Tuesday. &#8220;It separates the strong folks from the weak. Weak will turn and run, and the strong will stand and fight. And that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re doing here today. We&#8217;re standing and fighting regardless of who turned and ran away from us, regardless of who doesn&#8217;t believe us, regardless of who goes, we know what the truth is.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">This all comes just three weeks before the election. Before the CNN story, Robinson has been behind in the polls against Josh Stein in the race for state governor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">The Republican Governor&#8217;s Association stopped ad buys. The lieutenant governor said Tuesday he is shifting his strategy to move to more door-to-door contacts and still believes he can win the race.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">In the lawsuit, Robinson said his personal and professional life has been devastated, and he has been humiliated by the CNN story.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">ABC11 reached out to CNN, who declined to comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\"><strong class=\"vtkaO\">SEE ALSO | North Carolina Democrats, Republicans react to latest Mark Robinson scandal<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"eTIW QrHMO fnRUo pvsTF EhJPu vPlOC zNYgW OsTsW RMeqy daRVX ISNQ sKyCY eRftA acPPc MENS nFwaT MCnQE mEeeY SmBjI xegrY rPLsU iulOd NIuqO zzscu lzDCc aHUBM IEgzD OjMNy eQqcx SVqKB GQmdz jaoD VWDdR ONJdw vrZxD OnRTz gbbfF roDbV GPGwb oMlSS gfNzt oJhud eXZcf zhVlX sUzSN \">\n<div class=\"WrapperInlineVideo\">\n<div class=\"VideoCaption nMMea bNYiy Mjgpa dGwha DDmxa jgKNG RGHCC aBIU eEzcu lZur \" data-testid=\"prism-caption\">\n<p><span class=\"hsDdd OOSI GpQCA lZur VlFaz \" data-testid=\"prism-truncate\"><span><span class=\"gtOSm FbbUW tUtYa vOCwz EQwFq yCufu eEak Qmvg nyTIa SRXVc vzLa jgBfc WXDas CiUCW kqbG zrdEG txGfn ygKVe BbezD UOtxr CVfpq xijV soGRS XgdC sEIlf daWqJ \">Mark Robinson scandal breaks involving pornography message board posts as deadline to drop out of North Carolina Governor race nears.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2024 WTVD-TV.
