In response to the reports, Robinson’s spokesperson, Mike Lonergan, issued a strong statement. Lonergan stated that Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson denies ever creating or using an account on the controversial dating website Ashley Madison. He further accused his political rival, Democratic Attorney General Josh Stein, of leaking the information to sabotage his gubernatorial campaign. Robinson emphasized that the focus should be on substantive issues rather than sensational tabloid stories. The fallout was immediate, with prominent Republicans expressing concerns over the allegations. U.S. Senator Ted Budd and Rep. Richard Hudson both condemned the situation, calling the allegations concerning. Robinson’s campaign highlighted evidence of the compromised email address to cast doubt on the authenticity of the account registration. In a separate development, CNN uncovered disturbing posts allegedly made by Robinson on another platform. The posts included controversial statements about slavery and explicit details, raising further questions about Robinson’s online activities. Despite the mounting controversy, Robinson remains committed to his gubernatorial campaign, dismissing the allegations as politically motivated attacks. The impact of these revelations on Robinson’s chances in the governor’s race remains uncertain as the election heats up. Additionally, the text provides background information about Ashley Madison and its notoriety in facilitating extramarital affairs. The lieutenant governor, who wed his wife Yolanda Hill Robinson in 1990, continues to face scrutiny amid these revelations.
