Mark Robinson's Lawsuit Targets CNN, Louis Love Money

North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson has filed a $50 million defamation lawsuit against CNN, accusing the network of publishing false claims that he made racist and misogynistic comments on a pornographic website. Robinson, who is running for governor, alleges that CNN's report was a 'malicious hit job' intended to damage his campaign, asserting that his data was compromised by previous data breaches. The lawsuit also targets Louis Love Money, a former porn store employee who claimed Robinson was a frequent customer, a claim Robinson denies. The allegations have led to a decline in Robinson's poll numbers and caused several GOP figures to distance themselves from him, although he remains steadfast in denying the accusations. Despite calls from top Republicans, including U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis, for evidence refuting CNN's claims, Robinson's lawsuit reportedly lacks new information to disprove the allegations.
