CNN... said it was only publishing a “small portion of Robinson’s comments on the website given their #graphic nature.” In one instance, the outlet said it was omitting “graphic sexual details” as it described how Robinson fondly remembered “peeping” on #women in public showers as a teenager."

in reply to Zhi Zhu 🕸️ • • •"Robinson’s campaign has been weighted by his long history of incendiary rhetoric, including about a top issue this election cycle, #abortion.[He wants to ban abortion & limit #BirthControl]
More recently, though, he has faced increased scrutiny over his personal life... he regularly visited #porn shops in Greensboro in the 1990s and 2000s, long after he said he became a devoted #Christian"
