Transcripts For CNN CNN Newsroom 20240923

Multiple staffers have just quit the campaign from Mark Robinson. Hes the embattled republican candidate for governor in north karolina. The campaign telling Cnn Tonight for of its top operatives have stepped down from their roles. Those exits coming just days after a Bombshell Scene you didnt report uncovered racist, Sexually Graphic, and lewd comments made by robinson on a Porn Website years ago robinson writing in a Statement Tonight quote, is appreciate the efforts of these Team Members who have made the difficult choice to step away from the campaign. And i wish them well in their future endeavors. I look forward to announcing new staff roles in the coming days cnn, kfile, senior editor Andrew Kaczynski, who broke this story, joins us now with more details. Andrew, what are you hearing tonight well, thats right. Cnn has learned that four top operatives to lieutenant governor Mark Robinsons campaign have all resign in the wake of our story including the Campaign Manager, deputy Campaign Manager finance director, and top consultant, and senior advisor. This is leaving his campaign right now with essentially out a senior staff adding into the last month of the election. And now i think the question is, where does this campaign go from . Here are more staff going to . And this is just the latest fallout from that story that we published on thursday, a. Right. And when you talk to him, i know you interviewed him. He denied a lot of what you laid in front of him with a lot of evidence. But what did you get any indication at that time that there might be changes and his campaign or is this a surprise to you . Well, its a surprise to us. We actually heard rumors ahead of our interview with him because people might have seen that our story started to leak out before we even published it. Somebody on his Campaign Staff was leaking that somewhere and we had heard rumors that some of his Campaign Staff had resigned. And i asked him directly in that Interview Weve heard that staff on your campaign have resigned and he said to me, in that interview, i believe that none of his Campaign Staff have resigned. So since then, i dont know if this happened before then. Now we know that in fact, all or many of his top operatives on his campaign have just all resign in mass. Yeah, were talking about a Senior Adviser the camp and the head of the campaign. Its a lot of senior staff members, andrew, just for people who maybe dont remember all the details, didnt get to read the report, give us an outline of what you all found so we found that between 2008 and 2012, Mark Robinson commented on the forums of a pornographic website where he calls himself a quote black nazi. He said that he preferred hitler to us. Leadership. He one of the most disturbing comments we found with him saying that he supported reinstating slavery. Robinson has also run as very harsh anti chiang, antitransgender candidate for office. And we found a comment in our story where he said he enjoyed watching transgender pornography. Hes running as a socially conservative candidate very antiabortion. We found a comment where he said, but he didnt care if a woman had an abortion. There was a lot of very Sexually Graphic stuff that we couldnt even publish in our story. We also found a whole number of comments like where he said he got sexual gratification from a memory of spying on women in public showers as a teenager. So just pull lot of disturbing stuff there that we were able to trace To Robinson because hes used both the same username all across the web that he used on that form that is actual name was listed on that forum a whole bunch of stuff that pointed that too, that user being Mark Robinson and Mark Robinson only yeah, it is incredible reporting and now we were seeing the Realworld Fallout here. Andrew kaczynski. Thank you so much for being with us, walking us through all of that i want to bring in our panel now cnn political commentator and republicans strategist, Shermichael Singleton also joining us democratic Strategist And Founder of lift our voices. Julie Roginsky Thanks to both of you for being here with us shermichael. I just want to get your thoughts first and foremost as a republican as someone who i know talks to the Trump Campaign, North Carolina is going to be quite a tight race if these polls are correct. And i was just talking to doug heye, who of course, is a north carolinian, also former Communications Director for the rnc. And i asked him about this theory of the case. I had heard yesterday from someone else on one of our panels that maybe in other situations where theres a big blowout in a state, its it may not matter, something like this to the president ial election, but when its going to be one on the margins, most likely, is this something that can move those margins just enough . And im curious what your thought is kind of through that lens. I mean, its typically not the norm, but i mean this is an unprecedented campaign to the premise of your question. Its certainly possible, right . But also number two, jessica it forces the Trump Campaign to spend dollars in a state that under the ordinary set of circumstances, you would expect a republican to win and those resources could be spent a utilized in pennsylvania, which we all know as a mustwin state, not only for the Vice President , but also for the foreign president , if theyre trying to get to that Magic Number of 270 with that said, i am not surprised that the senior staffers of Mark Robinson have resigned i mean, this guy is a disgrace. Are conservatism he is clearly not authentically conservative. The republicans in North Carolina had an Opportunity And Jessica keeps saying this on our airwaves for days now to nominate and go with former congressman at pastor, mark walker, someone who is a conservative, who wouldve ran an incredibly competitive race and particularly could have even one. I dont know, but yet they decided to go at robinson. And from my conversations with people in North Carolina, many people knew that this guy had a troubled background, and yet they still risk not only the seat, but they also potentially risks the presidency by nominating this guy with a deplorable background. Now you run the risk of turning off republican voters who may say, you know what, this is just too much chaos. Im just going to sit this out. What are the implications for something like that for the top of the ticket that being the former president Donald Trump. You also have to keep in mind the implications for the battleground for the lower tier tickets. Congressional races state, senate, State House seats all of those things are going to unfortunately be impacted by this one man. And all he had to do was step down several days ago. And his arrogance and his ego made him decide not to and julie, weve seen the Harris Campaign already cut an ad tying the former president to Mark Robinson, former President Trump had endorsed him. Although when he was at the rally on Saturday Trump did not say his name. He and Mark Robinson was not there. Do you think thats going to be effective for the Harris Campaign in persuading getting potentially new voters to come her way of course it will because of course Donald Trump has yet to criticize robinson even after all the horrible things that Andrew Kaczynski uncovered and all the horrible things that we knew about even before Educa Scan covered them. Look, let me just say this because this is so reminiscent of what happened to the Trump Orbit back in 2020 all of a sudden Mark Robinson looks like he is not going to win his staff on mass decides theyre going to resign not because theyre offended by what he said. Because lets be very clear, he has said incredibly offensive things before shermichael pointed out, but because now it looks like they dont want to lost they dont want a Big L on their record. This is so similar to what happened in 2020 where trumps staff stayed with him and stayed wafter all of the comments that he made throughout his presidency, and only after he lost january 6, gave them an excuse to say, oh, we just we just sincerest help from the guy. Hes a bad guy. Well, listen if you are with him throughout the entire four years of his term when he was doing unconscionable things trying to open fire on protesters i mean, the march down, the White House after his loss and the holding up the bible, if you were there for charlottesville. And yet you stuck around after January Touri six when you knew that he wasnt going to get certified, you didnt want that loss on your record suddenly, you had some sort of moral epiphany bad him. Same thing happened here with Mark Robinson this staff resigning today. I think its kind a disgrace because they had no problem sticking with him when he said that the holocaust was not a big deal. When he said that some people quote unquote, need killing. Talking about, i guess his own constituents to me, this is a little bit disingenuous and its so completely symptomatic of the illness going on in our politics right now. And i ended just dont know why people more people dont talk about this and we are hearing from some republicans who just talking more generally about, about the situation there in north drawn about Mark Robinson as a candidate about the impact he could potentially have. We did hear from Senator Tom Cotton earlier today before this news broke he was on the sunday shows. I think we have that clip we can play ive seen these allegations, jake, and theyre concerning allegations he owes the people saying was under his name on his facebook, but he owes the people of North Korea your line and more answers about it, but were talking about the president ial race here that matters to everyone, not just the people on wednesday. Do you think that trump should still support Mark Robinson in North Carolina ill leave that to President Trump. And most importantly, ill leave it to the people of North Carolina that is one state. Were talking about a president ial race that is going to affect every american at a time when a third of americans cant even afford their groceries and again, that was Senator Tom Cotton with our Jake Tapper on State Of The Union shermichael. I just want to get your reaction to kind of what the senator was saying. There yeah. Look, no, i think hes right. I was looking at that recent Nbc Poll that came out today that everyones talking about. And while it certainly is good news for Vice President harris because it does suggest that the Momentum Weve seen is certainly moving in her direction and it has provided her for what a four or 5 boost ahead of the former president. But when you actually start looking beneath that top line numbers, there are a couple areas where the former president does fairly well immigration as a 21, 22 or point difference. You look at the cost of living, the economy. Donald trump has an advantage. You look at crime, Donald Trump has an advantage and if you one number that goes to Tom Cotton point about people being concerned just about cost of living, the economy, maybe even their futures 66 said that they are afraid, are worried about what future looks like for them economically. So while the top numbers look great for harris, if im on the Trump Campaign, im trying to figure out how do i articulate a message to voters who are concerned about the issues that i just laid out, particularly in a state like pennsylvania, georgia, arizona, wisconsin, those really crucial states that the former president absolutely we Must Win if he wants to go back to the White House jelly, what are your thoughts i want to actually go back to a Thompson Or Cotton just said, isnt that hearts is to say, Guys A Disgrace and know Donald Trump should not be supporting somebody who calls himself a black nazi, somebody who says that slavery would not be a bad thing to bring back as maybe he by a few, is that really that . Its difficult for Senator Cotton to say, is it really that difficult for Thom Tillis, the senator from North Carolina, who said, well, this isnt true that i guess that Mark Robinson should Sue Cnn and if it is true that he should reside, yes resign. Why not have said that before . Why not just say point blank. This is not the kind of rhetoric we need in the republican party, and we distance ourselves from it and we also think the president s the former president should distance himself from it too, because Donald Trump has yet to say anything negative about Mark Robinson and so these people are so desperately terrified of Donald Trump that they wont criticize him for not distancing himself for his own good, for Mark Robinson, potentially to win the state of North Carolina, even at the expense of losing North Carolina, theyre so afraid of him that they wont say that he needs to distance himself from somebody who said he wants to buy slaves. A bluff Black Man saying he wants to buy slaves. I mean, is this really where the republican party is today . Look, im a democrat, has been a lifelong democrat, but i strong and i agree with shermichael, we need a strong Conservative Party because we need two strong parties in this state. What the republican party is today is a cult and you just saw that with Tom Cotton saying what he said this is not a party that has any kind of values other than whatever the president , former president , the united states wants to espouse. And i think its sad, its tragic. Now, just for the republican party, its tragic for the american political system. Shermichael, why do you think it is so difficult for so many of these republicans . To two say we dont agree with this, its objectives not what we want well look, i think a lot of them are looking at the electoral odds here and you need a lot of the voters who supported someone like robinson in North Carolina and by that, i mean people who more than likely sort of fit the profile of him populous, nationalist, and sort of their ideological temperament. And i would imagine, at least from some of the things ive seen on social media. So this is sort of anecdotal at this point. But a lot of those folks in question was this stuff really real or the story is true if they were true, why didnt they come out before and so i think a lot of those politicians are aware of this. Jessica and are trying to sort of walk the line of not offending them, but, but pivoting to things that they believe most voters are ultimately concerned with. But look, i just want to say quickly, most conservative people, most republican people, i do not believe her in a coat. I think there are a lot of americans who are conservative, who are republican and theyre good, decent people people now, we can sort of raise the question of why certain voters would support someone like a robinson. And thats complicated conversation, would have enough time for it, but i dont want to insult every single american who happens to be republican, who happens to also be conservative. I take the point that was made but i think we should just sort of be careful with that type of rhetoric. I do quickly really go ahead. Im not suggesting that im suggesting that people like Thom Tillis and Senator Cotton are in a cult because they are supposed to be leaders. They are supposed to be the leaders, the young leaders of the republican party. And yet they dont have the backbone, the backbone or the courage to say, you know what . Yes President Trump, like the rest of us, should distance ourselves from somebody who wants to join our senate republican caucus this is a Man Running to be their colleague, and yet they are in this case, i guess he wants to be Governor Somebody who wants to be a leader in our republican party. And wed, this disassociate ourselves from this kind of rhetoric. And the republican party, but they wont say it because Donald Trump wont say it thats the cult. Its them and theyre the people who are supposed to be the leaders of the republican party and they refused to say it. Im not blaming the Rank And File. Im blaming them because they are the people that the Rank And File is sensibly should look to, except for the fact that apparently twitter is wagging the dog in this case so to that point, we have taken julie, julie, thanks for that clarification. Thank you for that. We have we have not heard anything from former President Trump who did endorse Mark Robinson. I do want to play a clip. This is this is what he said about Mark Robinson in the past. Lets listen this is Martin Luther King on steroids. I think youre better than Martin Luther King. I think you are Martin Luther King times 21 of the great stars of the party. One of the great stars in Politics Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson do you think or do you think we will hear anything from the former President Distancing himself from Mark Robinson are condemning, you know, that actions thats a thats a really, really good point, jessica, i remember when you had Doug Mastriano on a couple of are there really friends candidates and the Trump Campaign or the adviser to the former President Sort of distance him from those individuals, but he never really directly came out and said anything. And so based upon that history, i really doubt that trump will say something negatively about him. Maybe hell ceo, hes a weird guy, or hes an odd sort of guide. Thats probably the the best were going to get out of the former president in that regard. But look, i think if youre looking at North Carolina and the data suggesting that this state is becoming more competitive to julias point i probably wouldnt be a bad idea to more directly and aggressively distance yourself from someone like a robinson because you dont want to turn off some of those independent voters who may actually like trump on the issues of the economy and immigration may strongly be considering voting for him but for Mark Robinson and so theres a bit of a calculus here that i think the foreign president stood at least at a minimum, consider or julie, do you want to last word yeah. The only thing ive stated the most Tiana Point is thats a great analogy. And except for the fact that mastriano lost and a blow out and josh shapiro, who is now on the incredibly popular and the same thing is going to happen in North Carolina because Martin Luther King is not out there. I had never been out there during his lifetime talking about how we should reinstate slavery because he might want to buy one or two, which is exactly what Mark Robinson is saying. And if Donald Trump can bring himself to distance himself from a guy like that thats a really low bar. I think thats not thats not a hard thing to distance yourself from. And yet hes still cant do it which, you know, what kind of message that said, not just to the people of North Carolina, what kind of message does that send to the people of pennsylvania . To the people of michigan and so on. All right, Shermichael Singleton and julie roginsky. Our thanks to both of you for your time today. Thanks so much.

The Worlds News Network new Tonight Weve just learned the White House is now coordinating with state and local officials following a Mass Shooting in birmingham, alabama, at least four people were killed, at least 17 others injured in last nights shooting that happened in five points south. Its a popular Entertainment Area there. A manhunt is now underway for multiple gunman believed to be involved. Cnns Rafael Romo is live in birmingham and rafael, we understand police believe the shooting was a targeted hit yeah, thats right. Jessica, thats what Birmingham Police achieved. Scott thurman said earlier at a press conference, he says, they believe it the targeted hit on one person, one individual, and the other victims were caught in the crossfire. Police say four people died and 17 others were injured in the shooting. Three of the victims and its two men and one woman were found deceased here at the scene and another man died at the university of alabama hospital, according to police, while these are now looking for a group of individuals who arrived in a car here at the scene, opened fire and the fled in the same car and the shooting was also shocking because it happened in this area known as Phi Point south, as you mentioned, its a popular place known for its restaurants nightclubs, pubs, and live music venues located near the University Shed of alabama at Birmingham Campus and downtown. This has been a very violent year for the city of birmingham. There was a shooting at a nightclub in july. The left four people dead and ten others injured in february, 4 men were shot and killed outside of public library. Some residents say, what happened here last night, is that only he sad for the fivepoint south area, but for the entire city of birmingham. And one of them told us that panic and the chaos that ensued after the shooting it was people everywhere, people crying, screaming st. People were run and so it was very busy he knows a lot going on chess like the Grievance Type screaming like, you know i know someone is hurt or had passed away it in perspective at the national level, the incident this among 404 Mass Shootings in the united states so far this year according to the Gun Violence archive, the archive like cnn, the defines a Mass Shooting as one in which at least four people are shot, excluding the shooter know back to you Rafael Romo for us there in birmingham, alabama. Thanks so much. And i talked earlier with the mayor of birmingham, Randall Woodfin and he told me, see, officials are doing everything they can to end what he is classified as an Epidemic Level of Gun Violence in birmingham federal partners and a change in laws. At the State Level us City Of Berman and all municipalities in the state of alabama dont have all rule and so it takes partnership, collaboration, and down in the State House in montgomery to change laws that are stricter and tougher to give Birmingham Police the tools to take shooters off the streets prior to an incident like this. I will say that my heart goes out to the victims that are deceased. And for those victims who are who are alive, i do want to express that they recover well. And were thinking about them, but our focus and our priority is literally on capturing the shooter or shooters who committed this heinous crime to make sure we can take them off the street and at this point, the shooter or shooters are still at large. What more are you learning about this . Our reporting indicates it came from officials there in birmingham that said one person was being targeted and one is one too many. But this is just incredible, incredibly horrible Collateral Damage here its unacceptable. I think youre in a situation where you had these Assault Weapons that are being used at a higher proportion in addition to that, you have converged and glock switches that are used on the semiautomatics to make them automatic. So when you pull the trigger that youve cant even handle the gun. All the bullets are released at one time. Were talking about a Crime Scene that unfortunately had over 100 shots and so in situations like this there are preventable measures prior to if police are giving tools by State Law and or federal law you know, my position, is a nonpartisan position. I dont want to politicize a matter where life has been lost. And to many people today, have to wake up with a new normal where they dont have a Loved Ones. But i will say this does require a political shift at every level. It does require us to roll up our sleeves and make Commonsense Laws that actually saved lives when youre, when youre partisan, you get to just pick a side and stay on your corner. But my position has married. We only want to solve not only this problem but prevent things like this from happening, not just in birmingham, but all over our country and i want to ask you about the weapons used in the shooting you mentioned they were believed to have these Conversion Devices. Are these switches that allow the weapon to override the Trigger Mechanism on a gun. So it essentially functions as a machine gun. You mentioned over 100 casings. I know the u. S. Attorneys office in birmingham announced an initiative cracking down on those legal devices in july, youre talking about political will to change laws. What more are you hearing about people being willing to take steps to ensure the safety of people in birmingham, alabama want to i, want to thank the u. S. Attorney. I want to thank our federal partners atf, fbi, not only for assisting in this crime, thats an open active investigation, but other crimes weve had where there have been Mass Shootings i want to make this very, very clear related to these conversions. It is federally outlaw. They are illegal federally, but not at the State Level. But at the exact same time where the federal government have outlawed them. They also decrease Atf Budget Atf is the agency we need to investigate. Those who are making these Conversion Devices were selling these Conversion Devices. But if you strip their budget you tie their hands behind their back and prevent them from taking these types of devices off the streets that are in peoples hands who only want to hurt and kill people and that was birmingham mayor Randall Woodfin. We think him again for his time, the u. S. Is urging israel to lower the temperature when it comes to the tensions between attacks, between Israel And Hezbollah.

Kamala harris, looking to repeat Joe Bidens Victory three from four years ago, Joe Biden will win the state of michigan despite that loss, trump performed slightly better here in Menominee County why are democratic votes in rural michigan so important to winning the state in november . Well, every vote counts, we if we get 30 or 40 extra votes in the county here with our work, that possibly could make the difference in michigan because michigan is going to be close, you are the chairman of the Menominee County democratic party, the big massive Menominee County, michigan democratic party. Yeah how many members now . We have close to 80, pretty much tripled our membership this year. This is a small kind is about 12,000 votes at play here to have at active democrats in the party. What does that say about what . Where things are right now here . Well, to me it says that there are democrats in this county that have been hidden for awhile, know more was the President Obama at the dnc or maybe it was michelle who said those sit around and complain about things do something that has been in my Brain Kind of repeating itself over and over since i heard that do something, its like a democratic coming out i said, were coming out, were putting our democratic signs out. Ill popular or Harriswalz Signs well, theyre popular and you dont have any signs. Well you have no signs to give yeah. Thats true. Do you have a Harriswalz Sign at your house at while we have a hybridized one, it said bidenharris we folded it over and not just as harris. So this is as good as you can do now . Yes. And i can see the lily made by the Menominee County democratic party. Chair. It is. Why do places like this matter to what happens in michigan in the country . Well, if people can change here they can change just about anywhere look, democrats seem buoyant in this little corner of michigan to other things that they are saying that they havent seen in the past. One, the trump signs, there are a lot of him out there, but they say theyre not as many as there used to be in previous election cycles. The other thing they say is that female voters, whether theyre democrats or independents, or republicans women in this part of michigan, they say, are ready to vote for democrats back to you Miguel Marquez, thanks so much still ahead in the Cnn Newsroom tonight, President Biden says the u.

And the questions sparked by these nationwide debates are still present and americas political and cultural Consciousness Today i never thought something that i wrote with lead to a Culture War thats really what sparked a huge public debate about what the media meaning her Family Values was. Why do you say they now values that we care about . It is a political issue during that when the only question is who values are you talking about . And that is the frame of the Culture Wars that were fighting today now to discuss the climate of that tumultuous year and the Culture Wars that stemmed from it and beyond, dr. Todd boise, professor of Cinema Media Studies at the university of southern california. Thanks so much for being here with us. I appreciate it. Thanks for having me if you will, tell us a little bit about the america in 1992, what was the State Of Play at that moment, the biggest political and cultural moment . Was of course, a year for president ial Election Ronald Reagan had served two terms and his Vice President , George Hw Bush et been elected in 1988 and was running for a second term himself. So you had three republican administrations and the Bush Administration was hoping to make it for so much of that year, i think is really the defined by that president ial election. Bill clinton, who became the democratic nominee, of course. Famously play the Saxophone Arsenio Hall that year. And also, he decided to criticize a rapper by the name of Sister Soldier in a way that came, that became very political. Also. Of course, on the other side, you have Vice President Dan Quayle choosing to criticize Murphy Brown in a way that led to this very prominent moment that would come to be known as one of the opening acts in a larger cultural war to talk a little more about that specific moment. Dan quayle, the Murphy Brown conversation, and how it opened up what became that broader cultural war well, you know, Dan Quayle was figure who was often ridiculed during this time for a variety of things, but he criticized popular Television Show Murphy Brown in a speech that was actually focused around his comments about the La Riots in the response to the Rodney King Verdict but for Vice President ial figure to choose a popular Network Television Show to criticize it drew a lot of Attention And Kind of set out some of the conflict on various sides of the issue around lifestyle, around Murphy Brown, the Characters Choice to raise a child without a traditional nuclear family and so anytime you have Vice President ial figure criticizing a Television Show us the sort of thing thats going to draw attention. And this one did and i think its still resonates today yeah, thats such a fascinating moment. Hi, im dr. Todd boy. Thanks so much for that context.
