Summary
North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson has filed a lawsuit against a punk band singer who accused him of purchasing pornography at a store where the singer worked in the 1990s and early 2000s. The lawsuit comes in response to allegations made in a music video and subsequent media statements, which Robinson claims are defamatory.
In his lawsuit, Robinson, who is also the Republican nominee for governor in North Carolina, vehemently denies the accusations made by Louis Love Money, the singer in question. Robinson’s legal action follows a CNN report that suggested he had made inflammatory comments on a pornography site’s message board, including self-identifying as a “black NAZI.” Robinson has characterized the allegations as “salacious tabloid lies,” asserting that they are politically motivated. He aims to protect his reputation amid an increasingly heated campaign for the gubernatorial race, where he faces challenges in the wake of these accusations.
