Fake hate crimes are a booming scam.
Scribble something nasty on your own receipt or on your car and then phone the media. But fake Trump hate crimes are especially popular. There have been a number of fake Hijab Trump hate crimes. Here’s a more ordinary one.
A Long Island woman was charged with fabricating a story about a Trump-related hate crime.
Officials said 19-year-old Adwoa Lewis, of Baldwin, told police Friday that she was driving home when a group of four teenagers approached her, yelled “Trump 2016!” and stated that she didn’t belong here.
Lewis also claimed that after she parked her car in front of her house, she woke up the next day to find slashed tires and a note that read, “Go Home.”
After an investigation, police learned that this altercation did not take place, and police said Lewis admitted to writing the hateful note and placing it on her own car.
Long Island has been a particular target of the “Trump Hate” brigade. So it was natural for it to be reported. And even more natural for it to have come apart.
