Haven't seen anything on this in the news. TV Star alleged to have fabricated racial and homophobic attack.

So if the whole fabrication is proven to be true

So in the modern parlance, is this real fake news, or fake real news?

Was the Kremlin involved?

Publicity and a career boost apparently. Well he’s certainly going to get lots of the former now lol.

It's been all over the Daily Wire for the last week and a half, as news of the "attack" first broke and then the story gradually fell apart.
Many Democrat politicians and left leaning American news outlets were quick to jump on the bandwagon at first, then suddenly went silent on it as the truth emerged (much like the recent Covington Teens episode).
Look beyond the mainstream media occasionally.....

CPD are charging him with a 4th degree felony, whatever that means - probably $20 fine.

I suppose when you live in the world of celebrity you want to be the biggest victim to get recognition. Absolutely pathetic.

The 'celebrity' reactions are hilarious now though, foot in mouth

what the hell was the point of this ? it reeks of the same attitude of those who cry rape where none occurred .makes it just a bit more difficult for people that have genuine cases to be heard and believed. what a pathetic clown.

It's nice to see that the USA is now so progressive that they have to import Nigerians to do their racist attacks.

Because being a victim is very important these days. Especially if you can be a left wing rightious victim..

No denying America has its problems, but did he seriously think that a story of 2 white men walking around Chicago in sub-zero temperatures, armed with a noose and bleach to use on the first black man they saw was going to be plausible? With this and the Covington fiasco it's not hard to see where the narrative of fake news comes from.

This man is a deplorable racist and must be punished with the full force of the law. What a complete tit, I hope they make an example out of him.
