The username 'minisoldr' became famous in September, when CNN reported allegations that Robinson used the moniker to post messages on a pornographic website. Robinson, who is suing the network for defamation, says he never made the posts.

Summary

Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, accused by CNN of using the handle “minisoldr” to post racist and lewd comments on a pornographic site, logged into a state meeting last week with the same username.

Robinson, who denies the allegations and claims impersonation, has sued CNN for defamation.

His spokesperson confirmed Robinson has used the handle for over 20 years. During the meeting, Robinson briefly addressed attendees before leaving.

The lawsuit, now pending in federal court, follows Robinson’s gubernatorial election loss to Josh Stein by 15 points in November.

      It’s hard to have compromat on someone in this position. He has already put himself in a post-reveal state. Trump can’t trust someone that he can’t ruin. The word “trust” to him doesn’t mean having faith or being vulnerable. It means knowing they can’t disobey.

          Centrists will not cease parroting that idiotic strawman in response to any and all criticism until they have succeeded and both sides actually are the same.

            You have no idea that you are the one parroting an idiotic straw man argument, do you?

              You’re both so good at intentionally misrepresenting the other, this is actually much better than trying to discuss and understand each other.

                  So because you won’t understand, I can’t communicate? Sounds like more of a you problem

                  How complicated is it that people should try and listen and understand each other rather than intentionally misunderstanding each other? I’m not an educator and maybe my comment shouldn’t have been so sarcastic, but I stg people who probably have a lot in common, having met on the same web forum, just wanna gripe and fight and compete for nothing, when the benefit of.mutual understanding and respect is actually quite high
