The list of bogus ‘hate crimes’ in Trump era is long
In the wake of the arrest of actor Jussie Smollett, who was charged with staging his own racist and homophobic attack, here are just some of the other crimes that have been given prominent play by the media since the 2016 election — often accompanied by politicians decrying, “This is America today” — that turned out to be frauds:
Quote:Just before the 2016 election, the 111-year-old Hopewell Baptist Church was attacked with fire and graffiti that said, “Vote Trump.” “The political message of the vandalism is obviously an attempt to sway public opinion regarding the upcoming election,” said Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.). Turns out the arsonist was Andrew McClinton, 48, an African-American member of the church.
“Heil Trump” and ”F-g Church” were spray-painted on St. David’s Episcopal Church in Indiana after the election. It was the gay organ player who did it. “Over the course of that week, I was fearful, scared and alone, too, in my fear,” George Nathaniel “Nathan” Stang, 26, explained to the IndyStar. “I guess one of the driving factors behind me committing the act was that I wanted other people to be scared with me.”
Yasmin Seweid, 18, told police that three Donald Trump supporters harassed her and tried to steal her hijab on a No. 6 train in New York City. But the Dec. 1, 2016, alleged hate crime fell apart two weeks later when Seweid admitted she made the whole thing up because she’d been out late drinking with friends and was afraid her strict Muslim Egyptian father would be angry.
Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti was vandalized for months by graffiti that said, “leave n—-s” and “KKK.” A former student, African-American Eddie Curlin, 29, was eventually caught. “It was totally self-serving,” said Robert Heighes, the university’s chief of police. “It was not driven by politics. It was not driven by race.”
More than 2,000 bomb threats to Jewish institutions, including the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC, were made in the first three months of 2017. “My personal take is it’s a statement of where we are in this country,” Michael Feinstein, the chief executive of the Bender Jewish Community Center of Greater Washington, in Rockville, Md., told The Times. In March 2017, an arrest was finally made in many of the incidents: that of a 19-year-old Jewish Israeli-American named Michael Ron David Kadar. Kadar had been rejected from the Israeli Defense Forces over mental health issues and claimed in his defense that he had a brain tumor.

Oh man....I remember when that happened. Lil' Johnny Zero was almost giddy creating the thread about the fire and there were several leftists doing all they could to pin it on conservatives.

Then when McClinton was arrested and it was determoned to be a hoax he nor any of the other leftists bothered to comment.

We're only tracking fake hate crimes. Like tracking the Super Bowls that Tom Brady lost.

RE: The list of bogus ‘hate crimes’ in Trump era is long
I remember some local losers at UC, a group calling themselves Irate8. Yep and they had their list of grievance demands. On Kik or snapchat or something someone texted them some racist stuff, so they to the media with it.
Turned out the guy who sent to racist stuff was a black guy who knew the girls that started the group. LOL. LOSERS!

How many reporters parents phones has he tapped? How many IRS applications have been politicized and quashed? Guns run to drug cartels? Kids in cages? Illicit FISA warrants sought and innocent civilians “unmasked”?
Ill give the zerO admin credit where it is due- their level of rank corruption is likely not rivaled since the days of U.S. Grant.
You’re number one! You’re number one!
