'I am coming after CNN full throttle!' Mark Robinson rages at campaign event

Mark Robinson, the Republican nominee for governor in North Carolina, threatened a "full throttle" attack on CNN after the network exposed controversial remarks it reported he made on a pornographic website.

Robinson lashed out at reporters during a Monday campaign event, focusing on his staff's en masse resignation instead of policies. The Robinson campaign spun the departures, which happened hours after CNN's report which broke Thursday, as planned "staff changes."

"We're right in the process right now of forming a team that we know that can still lead us to victory," Robinson said. "So, we have full confidence in our ability to keep going."

CNN's Dianne Gallagher pointed out that Robinson had denied he made remarks on the porn site, including calling himself a "Black Nazi" and defending slavery.

"We are in talks right now, everything up to legal counsel to take CNN to task for what they have done to us!" Robinson exclaimed. "We are going after them! We are going to go after them for what they have done!"
