Anderson Cooper is both confused and “fascinated” by North Carolina governor candidate Mark Robinson ’s “apparent porn selection.”
The CNN anchor sat down with Stephen Colbert on The Late Show Thursday where he shared the aspects of Robinson’s scandal that caught his attention most.
“I didn’t know that porn sites had comment sections,” the CNN anchor told Stephen Colbert on The Late Show Thursday, noting the most transfixing comment he’d read from Robinson’s alleged porn site visits “was about the transporn and how excited [he was], that he liked it.” Robinson has run on his evangelical Christian views and ultra-MAGA politics.
Cooper then read from one of the alleged comments—which he’d been so perplexed by, he wrote it down with the nearest writing utensil: his son’s crayon. “‘It takes the man out while leaving the man in,’” Cooper read, amused and aghast.
Robinson has denied being linked to the comments and dismissed news coverage of the scandal as “tabloid trash.” It’s been a rough month for Robinson as just a few weeks ago, five former employee at a porn video store claimed Robinson had been a frequent customer.
