NC Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson Faces Backlash Over Defamation Lawsuit

Robinson's legal battle against CNN and a former porn shop worker sparks controversy amid gubernatorial campaign.

North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson has filed a defamation lawsuit against CNN and Louis Love Money, alleging they spread false claims about him.
Robinson's lawsuit centers on accusations of making explicit posts on a pornographic website's message board over a decade ago.
Louis Love Money, the former porn shop worker, has requested the court dismiss the lawsuit, citing procedural violations and calling the allegations 'bizarre.'
The controversy has led to several GOP officials, including Donald Trump, distancing themselves from Robinson's gubernatorial campaign.
Key staff members from Robinson's campaign have resigned, and the Republican Governors Association has withdrawn its support following the CNN report.
