FORMER LT. GOV. ROBINSON

SUED FOR FILING FALSE

POLITICAL LAWSUIT

Former Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson is being sued in Guilford County Superior Court for allegedly falsely suing a local Greensboro man during his 2024 Republican campaign for governor.

Louis Love Money, a Greensboro musician, filed his compliant on May 26th, alleging that Robinson falsely filed suit against him in 2024 for defamation when Robinson sued both Money and CNN for defamation, after the cable news network reported that Robinson frequented a porn site online calling himself “Black Nazi.”

Money was accused of alleging that Robinson use to visit a store he owned that featured pornography.

Robinson held press conferences declaring that he was being defamed by Money and CNN, and announced that he was suing for $50 million, only to later drop that suit against both defendants.

Louis Money says in his complaint that because Robinson dropped the complaint when it became apparent that the pornography allegations were true, 

That led to abuse of the legal process and malicious prosecution. That there was never a legal basis for Robinson to ever file a lawsuit against him, and that the only reason he did was for political advantage during the campaign.

Robinson later admitted on  recent podcast interview that he did indulge in pornography.

“The lawsuit was never truly about money or about any supposed deep-state conspiracy, artificial intelligence, or pornographic video allegedly purchased in the 1990s or early 2000s,” Money’s lawsuit states. “Instead, the lawsuit appears to have been political theater, using the court system as part of an election strategy.”

And because there was no truth to Robinson’s lawsuit, Money alleges that he was forced to incur “significant” legal costs to defend himself. Now, he seeks more than $25,000 in damages, along with attorneys’ fees and other punitive and compensatory relief from a jury.

With the hot summer season here and temperatures, even at nighttime, running in the 70s-80s, for many people that means finding a place where they can cool themselves off and be comfortable.

But what about the elderly and disabled of our community? Those on limited incomes who simply can’t afford the high utility bills that come with running air conditioning systems crassly throughout the day? How do they get relief?

Thankfully, the NC Dept. of Health and Human Services’ Division of Aging has partnered with other state area agencies on aging and local service providers to distribute electric fans to eligible recipients through Operation Fan Relief from now through Oct. 31st in your community and across the state.

These are ne fans, purchased through donations for elderly and disabled adult North Carolinians age 60 and older who are able to signup for assistance, again, from now through Oct. 31st.

Last year, thanks to $85,000 in donations from Duke Energy Carolinas, Duke Energy Progress and Dominion Energy, 3627 fans and 23 air conditioners  were distributed in 93 North Carolina counties.

"Protecting the health and safety of our aging community remains a priority for NCDHHS, and it is crucial that assistance is available for those who may need it as temperatures start to rise," said Michael Leighs, Deputy Secretary for Opportunity and Well-Being. "This program provides an effective solution that helps vulnerable North Carolinians stay safe, comfortable and healthy during the summer months."

For more details on Operation Fan Heat Relief, individuals should contact their area agency on aging or the NCDHHS Division of Aging at 919-855-3400. Local provider agencies can also purchase a limited number of air conditioners based on a person’s specific health conditions.
