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.
