Mark Robinson, the GOP gubernatorial candidate in North Carolina, has vehemently denied allegations from CNN that he made racist and sexual comments on a porn site, calling the claims a 'high-tech lynching' aimed at distracting voters from real issues. He accused his Democratic opponent, Josh Stein, of leaking the story and emphasized that the accusations do not reflect his character. In a separate discussion, CNN commentator Scott Jennings criticized the network for misrepresenting Donald Trump's comments about a potential 'bloodbath' in the economy, asserting that such mischaracterizations are designed to radicalize Trump's critics. Jennings highlighted that Trump's remarks were about economic repercussions, and he condemned the Democrats for twisting the narrative to incite fear. This criticism arose shortly after a second assassination attempt on Trump, underscoring the heightened tensions surrounding the political climate. Jennings argued that these tactics are integral to the current Democratic campaign against Trump.
