CNN report said North Carolina candidate for governor made explicit posts on website’s message board
Mark Robinson, North Carolina’s lieutenant governor, announced a lawsuit Tuesday against CNN over its recent report alleging he made explicit racial and sexual posts on a pornography website’s message board, calling the reporting reckless and defamatory.
The lawsuit, filed in Wake county superior court, comes less than four weeks after a television report that led many fellow GOP elected officials and candidates, including Donald Trump, to distance themselves from Robinson’s gubernatorial campaign. Robinson announced the lawsuit at a news conference in Raleigh.
Well… discovery should at least be entertaining.
Seriously…does he not know that is part of the process? And to defend it they’ll dig up everything and more to produce as evidence.
Problem is, it’ll likely be silently settled and we’ll never hear about it again and he can just lie and say he won or some shit.
He’s not planning to get that far… Just needs the optics a few weeks before the election and then, win or lose, will drop the case without going through discovery.
