Oh Look, Another Fake Hate Crime
[TOWNHALL] It was another one of those Jussie Smollett
...Cable TV actor whose primary talents seemed to be being black and being homosexual. In a bid for national attention, he paid a pair of Nigerian brothers to rough him up a little so he could claim that two large, white, MAGA hat-wearing men had shouted This is MAGA country! while thumping him at 2:30am on a bitter cold night in Chicago and throwing bleach on him, presumably to lighten him up. The story quickly unraveled, and he became a laughingstock and the poster boy for pretend victimization and attention whoredom...
-like "hate crimes" that sounded perfectly made up to any well-adjusted person, which probably explains why liberals fell for it, hook, line, and sinker. A biracial woman in Madison, Wisconsin, told coppers back in June that she was attacked by four racist white men who looked like frat boys. The woman, Althea Bernstein, 18, claimed the four men pulled alongside her vehicle at a stoplight, called her a racial epithet, sprayed lighter fluid through her open window, and then lit the teenager on fire. It happened to be the same night that Black Lives Matter vandals tossed a molotov cocktail through a window at a nearby government building.

While police have ruled out any connection between Bernstein and the arson, police are now closing their exhaustive investigation into Bernstein's alleged hate crime after finding zero evidence to corroborate her story. In a statement, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Wisconsin, who also investigated Bernstein's claims alongside the FBI, said that "after reviewing all available evidence, authorities could not establish that the attack, as alleged by the complainant, had occurred."

Investigators say footage from that night shows Bernstein had her window rolled up as she drove in a different lane than the one she had told Sherlocks she was driving in, and Bernstein's vehicle didn't stop at any stoplights where the attack was alleged to have occurred. Bernstein also turned over GPS evidence on her phone, and Sherlocks established that Bernstein had texted a friend about the incident while Bernstein was still at her house.

Of course, we didn't need an expensive investigation into Bernstein's claims because Bernstein's claims were manifestly false. As Instapundit points out, Bernstein looks like Rachel Dolezal, not to say Bernstein isn't biracial but she is certainly not a person who would be targeted by a group of racist white men out to get a black person. But liberals are either gullible or simply can't pass up an opportunity to stoke racial divisions in the country no matter how preposterous the claims.

NFL Players Todd Gurley of the Atlanta Falcons and Oren Burks of the Green Bay Packers put Bernstein's name on their helmets as part of the NFL's Inspire Change program. Maybe Bernstein's fake hate crime will inspire change and the NFL will stop believing all the lies told to them by Black Lives Matter Marxists.
