US EditionMark Robinson Admits ‘I Lied’ About CNN Story
Mark Robinson admitted lying during his 2024 North Carolina campaign to protect others and revealed a long-standing pornography obsession, losing the election by over 14 points, officials said.
- On Thursday, Robinson appeared on the inaugural episode of 'After the Call' and admitted he lied during the campaign and has a long pornography obsession.
- The CNN investigation found a CNN KFile report linked explicit posts to an account tied to Mark Robinson, who denied the allegations and filed a $50,000,000 defamation suit during his 2024 campaign.
- Discussing his past, Robinson told host Josh Hall he lied to protect others and called himself a 'carnal person' during the 90-minute After the Call interview.
- Campaign staff largely quit amid pressure from Republican figures, and Robinson dropped the CNN defamation lawsuit while vowing to retire from politics.
- Robinson's story intersects with national figures including the Republican Party, and the episode aired on Real Truth Media Inc., registered two months ago in Florida by Matt Hurley, to reframe his narrative.
