North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson sues CNN over its recent report that he made explicit racial and sexual posts on a pornography website’s message board.

CNN report said Robinson left statements over a decade ago on the message board in which, in part, he referred to himself as a “black NAZI ,” said he enjoyed transgender pornography, said he preferred Hitler to then-President Barack Obama .

CNN declined to comment.

Stein spokesperson Morgan Hopkins said Tuesday that “ North Carolinians have known for a long time that Mark Robinson is completely unfit to be Governor.” Robinson already had a history of inflammatory comments about topics like abortion and LGBTQ+ rights that Stein and his allies have emphasized in TV commercials and online.
