‘Black Nazi’ Mark Robinson Ends Bid to Sue CNN For Exposé and Whines He’s the Victim
Robinson sought $50 million in damages from the company after it revealed his posts on a porn site.

Disgraced MAGA politician Mark Robinson has dropped his lawsuit against CNN for exposing his twisted online life and costing him his bid to be North Carolina’s governor. The Black Republican announced the move Friday as he said he was quitting the political arena for good. The former GOP lieutenant governor had sued the media giant in October over its bombshell exposé detailing how he called himself a “black NAZI” on a porn chat site called “Nude Africa.” He also posted about his affinity for transgender porn, cheating on his wife Yolanda with her sister, spoke favorably of segregation and wrote, “Some people need to be slaves. I wish they would bring it back. I would certainly buy a few.” Robinson, once backed by now-President Donald Trump, saw his campaign implode and he lost to Democrat Josh Stein 54.9-40 in a state won by Trump. On Friday he abandoned the $50 million legal case with a claim he was taking the moral high ground of not seeking “retribution,” which he said was inspired by “the words of our Savior.” And he quit politics with a complaint about “the hearts and souls of those in the political arena” while complaining, “the price we have paid in entering the political arena will never be recognized.”
I will not run next year, nor do I have plans to seek elected office in the future.

Until we change the hearts and souls of those inside the political arena, it is unlikely the political process itself will undergo any meaningful change.
