Mark Robinson Refused Tech Experts’ Offer to Help Refute CNN Exposé: Report
Mark Robinson, North Carolina’s embattled Republican gubernatorial candidate, rejected offers from tech experts to investigate the CNN report detailing his alleged history of posting racist and bizarre comments to an online pornography forum, according to a new report published Monday.
The revelation comes on the same day the sitting lieutenant governor threatened legal action against the cable network.
On Monday, local station WRAL reported that Robinson initially rejected multiple offers from information technology experts to investigate the online posts. Sources familiar with the campaign told the Raleigh news station that Robinson’s refusal sowed doubt among his campaign’s ranks and likely played a role in a number of top staffers’ recent decisions to quit.
