Leftists Turn to Fake Hate Crimes After Seeing Trump's America Isn't as Bigoted as Dems Promised

In a world of fake news and hateful bias, one of the most malicious acts that can be perpetrated on the American public is a hate crime hoax.

A hate crime hoax occurs when a person or persons fabricate a bigoted act, then claim they were the victim.

The establishment media typically pounces because the lie fits their narrative.

And the story goes viral. The only problem is that the act was fake.

How often does this happen, you might ask?

Well, independent journalist Andy Ngo, who’s simply the best at assembling records of these types of hoaxes, just released his newest list.

“For Pride month, I assembled in one place some of the most prominent confirmed and alleged hate crime hoaxes involving LGBT+ identified people in recent years. A news source is provided for every anecdote,” he tweeted. (If you don’t already, you should follow @MrAndyNgo on Twitter. Immediately.)

First, Ngo listed the hoax at St. David’s Episcopal church in Bean Blossom, Indiana.

And remember when supporters of President Donald Trump were blamed for Nazi vandalism in a Brooklyn synagogue? It was a hoax.

Right before Trump was elected, a church in Mississippi was burned, and it was set up to look like Trump supporters did it. It was a hoax.

A bisexual student claimed to have been the recipient of pro-Trump and anti-gay messages. It was a hoax.

Two students at Babson College in Massachusetts were accused of spitting and yelling racist and anti-gay slurs. Except they did no such thing. It was a hoax.

When a sign went viral that spoke of referred to “hang[ing] a n—– from a tree,” some said it was the result of Trump’s presidency. It was a hoax.

After Trump’s election, University of Minnesota student Kathy Tu claimed to have been mistreated by police following an alleged attack by a white man. Police denied having any interaction with Tu.

In 2016, police investigated a story about two racist, white males who made a lynching reference and said it is “Trump country now.” It was a hoax.

Beloit College in Wisconsin was rocked after anti-Muslim graffiti was found all over campus. It was a hoax.

Hundreds of violent threats were made to Jewish schools, community centers and other organizations. They were not real. They were perpetrated by a Jewish-Israeli American. It was a hoax.

Don’t forget the way the media ran with a narrative claiming that Nathan Phillips was mobbed by racist white boys.

It was a hoax.

In a widely shared video, a gay pastor in Austin, Texas, tearfully reported that Whole Foods wrote “Love Wins F-g” on a cake he ordered. It was a hoax.

The Washington Post bashed Trump after racist messages were found outside the rooms of black cadets at the Air Force Academy. It was a hoax.

There are many more examples of this sort of thing, and I encourage you to read about every one of them.

Ngo’s work is an excellent reminder that things are rarely as they seem, and that a little patience and investigation is the task of all responsible journalists.
