Here Are 21 Fake Hate Crime Hoaxes Promoted by the Left Since Trump Took Office
Peter Hasson
11-14 minutes
Liberal actor Jussie Smollett is accused of staging a racist and anti-gay attack on himself, which Smollett blamed on supporters of President Donald Trump. Smollett’s alleged fake “hate crime” appears to be the latest instance of liberals manufacturing hate crimes for attention in the Trump era.
The Daily Caller News Foundation compiled below some of the most outrageous fake hate crimes since Trump was elected, roughly in chronological order:

Anti-Muslim Hate Crime In Michigan Turns Out To Be A Hoax (Nov. 2016)
Bisexual Student Fakes Trump-Inspired Hate Crime (Nov. 2016)
Taylor Volk, an openly bisexual senior at North Park University claimed to be the target of hateful notes and emails following Trump’s election in November 2016.

Gas Station Racism Goes Viral — Then Police Debunk It (Nov. 2016)
Philadelphia woman Ashley Boyer claimed in November 2016 that she was harassed at a gas station by white, Trump-supporting males, one of whom pulled a weapon on her. Boyer claimed that the men “proceeded to talk about the election and how they’re glad they won’t have to deal with n—–s much longer.” Boyer deleted her post after it went viral and claimed the men had been caught and were facing criminal charges. Local police debunked her account.
White Men Rob Muslim Woman Of Her Hijab And Wallet — Except It Never Happened (Nov. 2016)
An 18-year-old Muslim woman in Louisiana claimed in November 2016 that two white men, one of whom was wearing a Trump hat, attacked and robbed her, taking her wallet and hijab while yelling racial slurs. She later admitted to the Lafayette Police Department that she made the whole thing up.
Church Organist Vandalizes Own Church (Nov. 2016)
A church organist was arrested in May 2017 after he was found responsible for spray-painting a swastika, an anti-gay slur and the words “Heil Trump” on his own church in November 2016. When the story first broke, media outlets tied the hoax to Trump’s election. “The offensive graffiti at St. David’s is among numerous incidents that have occurred in the wake of Trump’s Election Day win,” The Washington Post reported at the time.
“Drunk White Men” Attack Muslim Woman In Story That Also Never Happened (Dec. 2016)
White Guy Sets His Own Car On Fire, Paints Racial Slur On His Own Garage (Dec. 2016)
Denton, Texas, resident David Williams set his own car on fire and painted “n***** lovers” on his home’s garage, in an apparent attempt to stage a hate crime. Local police investigated the arson as a hate crime. Williams and his wife, Jenny, collected more than $5,000 from Good Samaritans via a GoFundMe page before the hoax was exposed.
Prankster Tricks Liberal Journalist Into Spreading Anti-Trump Hoax (Dec. 2016)
As tales of Trump-inspired “hate crimes” were spread far and wide by liberal journalists after Trump’s election, one online prankster decided to test to see just how easy it was to fool journalists. The prankster sent Mic.com writer Sarah Harvard a fictitious story in which a Native American claimed to have been harassed by an alleged Trump supporter who thought she was Mexican. Despite no evidence backing up the claim, Harvard spread the fake story,
Student Writes Anti-Muslim Graffiti On His Own Door (Feb. 2017)
A Muslim student at Beloit College wrote anti-Muslim graffiti on his own dorm room door. The student was reportedly motivated by a desire to seek attention after a Jewish student was targeted with an anti-Semitic note.
Israeli Man Behind Anti-Semitic Bomb Threats in the U.S. (April 2017)
Students at St. Olaf college in Minnesota staged protests and boycotted classes in May 2017 after racist notes targeting black students were found around campus, earning coverage in national media outlets like The Washington Post. It later came out that a black student was responsible for the racist notes. The student carried out the hoax in order to “draw attention to concerns about the campus climate,” the university announced.
Fake Hate At Air Force Academy Goes Viral (Sept. 2017)
The Air Force Academy was thrown into turmoil in September 2017 when horrific racist notes were found at the academy’s preparatory school. “Go home n***er,” read one of the notes. The superintendent, Lt. Gen. Jay B. Silveria, went viral with an impassioned speech addressing the racist notes.
“If you can’t treat someone with dignity and respect–then you need to get out.”-Lt. Gen. Jay B. Silveria, Superintendent @AF_Academypic.twitter.com/njCktv5Fmp
A student at Kansas State University filed a police report in November 2017 over racist graffiti left on his car. “Go Home N***** Boy” and “Whites Only,” read the racist graffiti, which the the student later admitted to writing himself.
Racist Graffiti Carried Out By Non-White Student (Nov. 2017)
Another instance of racist graffiti that same month also turned out to be a hoax. A Missouri high school investigated after racial slurs were left on a bathroom mirror in November 2017, only to find that the student responsible was “non-white.”
Waiter Fakes Note Calling Himself A Terrorist (July 2018)
Texas waiter Khalil Cavil went viral after posting a Facebook picture of a racist note that he claimed a customer had left on the receipt, in lieu of a tip. The note described Cavil as a “terrorist.” Saltgrass Steak House, where Cavil worked, initially banned the customers for life, before their investigation revealed that the waiter had faked the racist note. “I did write it,” Cavil later admitted. “I don’t have an explanation. I made a mistake. There is no excuse for what I did.”
Waitress Fakes Racist Note, Blames Law Enforcement (July 2018)
A Texas waitress apologized in July 2018 after blaming local law enforcement for an offensive note targeting Mexicans. She later admitted to writing the note herself.
New York Woman’s Hate Crime That Wasn’t (Sept. 2018)
A New York woman was charged in September 2018 after police determined she fabricated a story about white teens yelling racial slurs at her and leaving a racist note on her car.
Student Faked Racist Notes (Dec. 2018)
Several racist notes at Drake University were actually the work of one of the students who had been targeted by them. “The fact that the actions of the student who has admitted guilt were propelled by motives other than hate does not minimize the worry and emotional harm they caused, but should temper fears,” university president Marty Martin said afterwards.
The Covington Catastrophe (Jan. 2019)
National media outlets pounced on a selectively edited video from the March for Life that showed Native American activist Nathan Phillips beating a drum in front of a boisterous group of boys from Covington Catholic High School. Phillips originally told The Washington Post the students swarmed him while he was preparing to leave the Indigenous People’s March scheduled for the same day. Phillips originally said one student, who later identified himself as high school junior Nick Sandmann, blocked his path from leaving as he tried to do so. The extended video shows that wasn’t the case: Phillips approached the high school boys during their cheers, not the other way around. Some of the people with Phillips were directing racially charged language at the students, not the other way around. Phillips told a second variation of his story to the Detroit Free Press. Phillips claimed he was playing the role of peacemaker by getting between the students and four “old black individuals,” whom he claimed the students were attacking. “They were in the process of attacking these four black individuals,” Phillip told the Michigan paper. “I was there and I was witnessing all of this … As this kept on going on and escalating, it just got to a point where you do something or you walk away, you know? You see something that is wrong and you’re faced with that choice of right or wrong.” “These young men were beastly and these old black individuals was their prey, and I stood in between them and so they needed their pounds of flesh and they were looking at me for that,” he added. Extended video shows that account also isn’t accurate. The four individuals Phillips referenced were members of the Black Hebrew Israelites and they launched racist and anti-gay slurs at the high school students, not the other way around.
Bonus: Anti-Semitic Vandal Exposed As Democratic Activist (Nov. 2018)
Bonus II: Trump-Inspired Racist Blaze At Black Church Was Carried Out By Black Church-goer (Nov. 2016)
This hoax occurred one week before Trump was elected, but TheDCNF is including it as a bonus because it was so egregious. Leftist media outlets ran headlines like “A Black Church Burned in the Name of Trump” after a black church in Greenville, Mississippi, was set on fire and spray painted with the words “Vote Trump.” The Washington Post’s original coverage of the incident read in part, “Greenville Mayor Errick Simmons called the fire a ‘hateful and cowardly act,’ sparked by the incendiary rhetoric of GOP nominee Donald Trump during his presidential campaign.” But the church was set on fire by one of the church’s own congregants, who is black.

(Gulag Editor's note - Fake Hate Crimes did not start with the advent of Donald Trump's political ambitions, they are a stable of the Gay Rights Propaganda Movement. One cannot help but wonder to what degree these FAKE Hate Crimes are coldly political, or maybe, sadly pathological, a pathetic playing out of guilt that cannot be processed as they march forward in their Brave New World where debauchery and dysmorphic experience is deemed, "A Moral Good." Maybe they can't accept the lie on a visceral level and self-loathing drives the pathology. <smile> or maybe they are just batshit crazy. Archpriest Symeon Elias
Police say lesbian faked brutal ‘hate crime’ attack: carved cross on own chest
Ben Johnson
7-9 minutes
LINCOLN, NE, August 22, 2012, (LifeSiteNews.com) – Charlie Rogers’ story about crawling at 4 a.m. on a Monday morning – bound, bloodied, and baying – across the street to her neighbor’s house after being brutally attacked by three men seemed too horrific to be true. Yesterday, police in Lincoln, Nebraska, concluded it was just that.
The 33-year-old lesbian, a former University of Nebraska women’s basketball star, arrived on the front door of her neighbor Linda Rappl’s house on July 22, with a story out of a horror movie. Three masked men had broken into her home, tied her up with plastic zip ties, carved a cross into her chest and anti-gay slurs into her arms and stomach, spray painted hateful words onto her walls, then tried to set her home on fire.
“All I could see was a cut across her forehead and blood running down,” Rappl said. Rogers said the men held her down on her bed, cut her from her thighs to shins, then turned her over and sliced her from her buttocks to her right calf. Rappl described the wounds as “superficial” but signs of “torture.”
Lincoln police found Rogers’ wall covered in messages including “We found U D-ke,” and “Leave kids alone.” They also found traces of gasoline, and the door she said she busted through. “When she was standing at my door, I believed everything,” Rappl said. “I had no reason to doubt that what she said happened had happened.”
The town and surrounding area believed her story, too, as her tale ricocheted around the internet. Omaha-based Heartland Pride held a rally last month outside the Lincoln capitol, attracting 1,000 people and raising $1,800, which Heartland President Beth Rigatuso deposited in a bank account for Rogers. First Plymouth Congregational Church held a second event in her honor. Lincoln Mayor Chris Beutler, a Democrat. issued a statement declaring, “We stand united with our gay and lesbian citizens in denouncing violence directed at any group.” But Rogers’ story quickly unraveled.
Police say her story changed markedly during the four times they questioned her. LPD investigator Lynette Russell said she found the bedspread, where three men had purportedly restrained and tortured her, “evenly placed on the bed and no apparent sign of a struggle,” and without a spot of blood.
Then there were the wounds themselves. Russell said they “appeared superficial and symmetrical, [and] avoided sensitive areas of the body.” They appeared to be consistent with someone writing on themselves, she said.
At the scene, police found a pair of white knit gloves. “She had told the investigators initially that the gloves were the only things that were left behind by her assailants and that they were not hers,” said Lincoln Police Chief Jim Peschong. But the only DNA the University of Nebraska Medical Center found inside them “matched Miss Rogers.”
Police soon found that she had purchased a pair of white gloves, zip ties, a utility knife, and blades at the local Ace Hardware store on July 17. They matched the bar codes to those sold at the store, and an employee identified Rogers as having shopped there.
The day after shopping at Ace – four days before the alleged assault – Rogers posted on Facebook: “So maybe I am too idealistic, but I believe way deep inside me that we can make things better for everyone. I will be a catalyst. I will do what it takes. I will. Watch me.”
The shocking incident took place as the city debated a gay rights measure, the “Fairness Ordinance.” Lincoln police say Rogers staged the attack to gain support for the homosexual political agenda. As the investigation began to implicate her, Rogers came forward for an interview with KETV. Her lawyer at the time, Megan Mikolajczyk, had been prepared to go to the media, as well, but canceled saying, “Things have changed.” Soon, she was off the case.
“I start to feel like a pawn in a game that isn’t my game. I didn’t ask for this,” Rogers said while sobbing. “What matters is the story.”
She said a shocking event like this “ignites fires – and that’s a good thing, in some ways. It can also be a very bad thing.”
“There is fear, but there is resilience,” she said. In what may have been a reference to President Obama’s re-election slogan, she concluded, “There is Forward.”
Police took her before a Lancaster County judge on Tuesday, charging her with reporting an event “she knew to be false,” as part of a plot to cause police to “instigate an investigation of an alleged criminal matter.”
FBI pathologist Michelle Elieff, who had been called in to investigate the presumed hate crime, wrote in the arrest warrant that the wounds were self-inflicted or caused by permission. “The FBI, the Bureau of Fire Prevention and the Lincoln Police Department have spent an exorbitant amount of time and personnel resources investigating this,” Peschong said.
Rogers pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to one count of making a false police report, a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail. The judge released her on her own recognizance, setting a trial for September 14.
The fact that her story was another in a string of apparent hate crime hoaxes did not cause local LGBT lobbying organizations to rethink their political lobbying activities. “Even if she did it, we still live in a culture of homophobia,” said the First Plymouth Congregational Church’s associate pastor, Nancy Erickson.
Star City Pride, PFLAG Cornhusker, and two other LGBT organizations released a joint statement in reaction to Rogers’ arrest, stating, “The false reports received by law enforcement every year do not invalidate the actual crimes that are committed.”
One of the organizers of the Lincoln rally, Beth Rigatuso, said, “If in fact she did do this to herself, it points to a much larger issue of self-hatred.”
Linda Rappl, the neighbor who came to Rogers’ aid, said, “This whole thing has really shaken my faith in humanity.”
She and Lincoln police have suggested Rogers get counseling.
Jeff Laszloffy, president of the Montana Family Foundation, told LifeSiteNews.com earlier this month there is a dearth of real violence against homosexuals, “so they’re having to gin up excuses to get these laws passed.”
President Trump has declared another National Emergency presumably to
reallocate funds to complete the Southern Border Wall. He didn’t need to
do this, as he said, because he already had all the Constitutional and
statutory authority to do so, begging the question: then why declare
another National Emergency? The answer is simple: Retribution! The
Mockingbird Media, Congress and both wings of the Deep State political
party are viewed at an all time low by the American people, while
President Trump’s popularity is at an all time high. The stage is set.
Sun Tzu says, “The Supreme Art of War is to subdue the enemy without
fighting.” The President is moving against the globalists who have
stolen our government and disarmed us against foreign infiltration and
financial exfiltration. Our retribution is at hand, but many on the
so-called Right are undermining our attack. Expose them, defeat them and
remain united with our America First President and never ever give up.
We ain’t tired of winning. Release the Kraken! Politics is about one
thing and one thing only: POWER! Trump has the power. The idiots that
killed the Republic and brought us into Empire NEVER expected
Trump....he is the Emperor they never wanted. The globalists’ shadow
government is in panic as Trump is about to reveal their crimes. He must
be stopped at all costs; the American Nationalist Giant must never be
aware of how numerous her members are, nor how weak the globalist
controlling oligarchy is. We are in a state of emergency, we are about
to weather the Storm, stand together as the sky falls. If you fail, if
you lose focus, if you get distracted, if you attack laterally, if you
fight the last war, if you pick the wrong battle, you are not helping,
you are hindering and that makes you more dangerous than the enemy.
FOCUS UP. Don't get too Qurious. Drop your ideological pretension.
Realize that you are one among many and we hold the line together, we
advance together, we crush the enemy together...as ONE. Petty bullshit
is more dangerous than the opposition. Seek not friends nor fellow
travelers; as Americans, as soldiers of Trump, we are One. Where we go
one, we go all. Phalanx. Our enemy is not a foreign nation-state; our
enemy has no state, but controls aspects of most states including
governments within our union. In the storm, right the ship; where we go
one, we go all; for good or for ill. We are witnessing a centuries-long
war in its final phases, and this time we are winning. Dialectical
choices in the age of Trump will leave you behind, we need a whole new
thinking. Every empire either conquers or collapses. The president is
conquering the world and preventing the collapse of the American
Empire…what will that empire be? There is no Republican Party; There is a
Trump Party – John Boehner Disloyal R's are far more difficult than
Crooked Hillary. They come at you from all sides. They don’t know how to
win - I will teach them! - President Trump Americans finally have a
champion to lead for America First while deconstructing the Enemedia,
Marxists and the nearly defunct New World Order globalists. Victory is
ours, but only if we never let up. Ladies and gentlemen, we are still at
WAR.

This is Trump operating inside the Matrix, since were he not to write a
sentence, the FAKE Media would say to the people still asleep, still
inside the Matrix, "See how out of touch he is! See how he believes in
conspiracy theories! Can you trust this man's mental status? Shouldn't
we be worried?" etc., etc. It is important to note that the Alternative
Media did not power to this theatre, Drudge didn't cover it, I'm mocking
it, not a word from American Intelligence Media, the Still Report DID
NOT Report it, Mark Dice, not a word, etc., etc. Those who will report
it are not yet awake.
Here's a list of the 31 national emergencies that have been in effect for years
(Remember that the official descriptions of these "Declarations of National Emergency" have as little to do with the purpose and power of the order as does the Patriot Act have to do with Patriotism and preservation of Rights, The Affordable Care Act has to do with affordable healthcare, The USA Freedom Act has to do with U.S. Freedom. Don't be fooled by the verbiage of these declarations. Most of them are POINTED AT US.)
Also you might note that President Trump as ended all of the George H.W. Bush era Declarations of National Emergency. This first graphic is of the Standing/Open Declarations as of Trump Taking office. (President Trump's Declaration of National Emergency, vis a vis the Southern Border.)
(Remember what follows is ABC FAKE News - nothing about this list is real except the dates these Declarations of National Emergency were "Declared" and the fact that their authority still stands.)

I’ve been asked to compile a list of socialists and communists in Congress. A friend of mine was challenged to name “even two socialists in Congress.” Altogether, if you add in Islamist connections I think about 100 members of the House of Representatives would struggle to pass a low-level background security check..but guess what?
