Despite the report’s allegations, Robinson has vehemently denied any involvement, calling the accusations baseless and accusing CNN of attempting to derail his campaign at a critical time.
In a passionate defense, Robinson insisted that the report is nothing more than a distraction from the real issues affecting North Carolinians. He expressed his dismay at what he sees as the media’s focus on personal attacks rather than substantive issues like the opioid crisis and national security.
“Make no mistake about it. We are not going to let CNN throw us off of our mission,” Robinson stated. “Our mission is to win this race. And quite frankly, I am dismayed about the fact, as I said before, think about how many people out there right now, right in this place where we are right now, who are hooked on fentanyl, who are hooked on opioids and how many will die tonight because of it? Think about what’s going on on our border. Think about what’s going on on the world stage.”

Robinson emphasized that, while he plans to address CNN’s report through legal channels, his primary focus remains on the needs of the people of North Carolina. “You better understand, I am coming after CNN full throttle,” Robinson said. “But we’ve got to put the people first, and in order to do that, we’ve got to concentrate on this campaign. And that is exactly what we’re going to do.”
This is not the first time that Robinson has locked horns with the mainstream media. Throughout his rise in North Carolina politics, Robinson has gained a reputation for calling out what he perceives as biased reporting, particularly from outlets he feels ignore the concerns of everyday Americans. His unapologetic approach has endeared him to many conservative voters who see him as a fighter willing to take on the establishment.
Robinson’s bold stances on hot-button issues like abortion and transgender rights have drawn both praise and criticism. However, his base of supporters remains largely unmoved by the controversies surrounding him, continuing to back his campaign for governor.
Before the CNN report surfaced, Robinson had been making significant gains in his campaign against Democratic opponent Josh Stein, North Carolina’s current Attorney General. Stein, who has held various state offices, is seeking to become North Carolina’s first Jewish governor, but Robinson’s populist message has resonated with many voters disillusioned with the political establishment.

Despite the recent controversy, Robinson has continued to narrow the gap in the polls, and his team remains confident that his message will prevail. CNN’s report and the subsequent legal threat have the potential to shape the closing weeks of the gubernatorial race, as Robinson doubles down on his efforts to fight back against what he perceives as an unjust attack on his character.
As the race enters its final stages, the legal showdown between Robinson and CNN could become a defining moment not only in the campaign but also in the ongoing debate over media bias and its role in American politics. For now, Robinson remains defiant, vowing to continue his campaign without being derailed by what he describes as a baseless smear.
Robinson’s fiery response, coupled with his commitment to legal action, sets the stage for a dramatic escalation in his battle against CNN. Whether the controversy will affect the outcome of the election remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: Mark Robinson is not backing down.
