Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson of North Carolina has launched a defamation lawsuit against CNN, disputing their reports linking him to lewd comments on a porn site.
Standing firm at a news conference, Robinson emphasized, 'When times of trouble come in this thing we call politics, it separates the strong folks from the weak...'
CNN connected the controversial comments to Robinson by matching his email with the username minisoldr, claiming a link to his personal interests and biography.
The report has provoked a crisis in Robinson's campaign, which was already troubled by his past inflammatory rhetoric as the Republican nominee for governor.
