The Ohio Senator was in North Carolina, a key battleground state, to attend a town hall event where he took questions from the audience. The video of his reference to Robinson went viral over reports that Robinson made a number of comments on porn website back in 2010, where he said objectionable things, like referring to himself as a 'Black Nazi.' He also reportedly said that he preferred Hitler over former president Barack Obama. The allegations were revealed by CNN in an exclusive report on September 19. Since then, Robinson has sued CNN with a lawsuit, calling the report reckless and defamatory.Also read: He hit out at CNN saying that the media organisation published the story "despite knowing or recklessly disregarding that Lt. Gov. Robinson’s data — including his name, date of birth, passwords, and the email address supposedly associated with the NudeAfrica account — were previously compromised by multiple data breaches.”The lawsuit was filed at the Wake County Superior Court in North Carolina.NEW >> JD Vance gives a shout out to Mark Robinson in North Carolina.
