Mark Robinson, the North Carolina lieutenant governor and Republican gubernatorial nominee, is taking a bold stand against CNN after the news outlet published claims that he referred to himself as a “Black Nazi” decades ago. The fact that CNN decided to dive into the murky waters of baseless allegations is reminiscent of its history of sensationalist reporting, and Robinson isn’t standing for it. He has vowed to initiate a thorough investigation into these “allegations” that he has adamantly denied, hiring Trump’s litigious attorney, Jesse Binnall, to lead the charge. The stakes are high, and Robinson seems determined to expose what he perceives as a media charade orchestrated to distract from the pressing issues facing the citizens of North Carolina.
Robinson’s frustration with CNN is not misplaced. In a world where fake news runs rampant, a news organization sowing division and confusion doesn’t exactly help to foster civil discourse. He has expressed his expectations that the truth will emerge swiftly, insisting that every means available will be utilized to hold CNN accountable for what he terms their unethical reporting. His statement also underscored his disdain for Democratic Attorney General Josh Stein, claiming the media and Stein are colluding to divert attention from real problems, which might include a growing crisis related to addiction and security along the border.
The political landscape for Robinson is rocky, fueled further by Marist College’s polling showing him losing ground to Stein. Negative media coverage could have significant repercussions as Robinson finds himself disinvited from key rallies, even those featuring Donald Trump, a clear sign that the GOP is concerned about the implications of the unfolding situation. While Robinson backs Trump, it looks like the left is all too eager to tie the duo together, with Harris campaigning hard on this narrative. The irony here is thick as the Harris campaign works overtime to connect Trump with Robinson, while both figures are facing their own separate challenges.

One can’t help but chuckle as the irony unfolds in the battleground state of North Carolina. Polls may give Trump a slight edge over Kamala Harris in this key region, but the Democrats are using Robinson’s situation to create panic among their supporters. The Harris campaign’s focus on Trump’s endorsement of Robinson earlier this year is an obvious attempt to cloak her own vulnerabilities in a cloak of association, showcasing just how desperate they are as Election Day approaches.
Robinson’s legal maneuver is more than just a battle against a news outlet; it’s a rallying call for all conservatives. It’s a declaration that the battle for facts and truth is far from over. The real issues at hand, from the fentanyl crisis to border security, deserve attention rather than muddying the waters with salacious headlines. Robinson is determined to keep his eyes on the prize—a victory that will send a loud, clear message that conservative values will not be drowned out by the noise of liberal media’s tactics.
