CNN report that unearthed alleged comments Robinson made on a p*rn site forum back in 2012. Robinson has denied making the comments and called the report a smear.
He’s announced he’s consulting with a law firm about potential legal action. Since the report dropped, several key aides of his campaign to become Governor have quit.
Other Republican figures have sought to distance themselves from him. National Republican groups have also pulled financial support from Robinson.
He was already trailing his opponent, Democratic Attorney General Josh Stein, by around 8 points before the CNN report. Many believe Robinson’s campaign is now dead in the water.
