Yesterday we called out a reverse fake hate crime after some MAGA folk claimed that an unnamed guy running a Trump t-shirt stand in Easton was attacked by a few vans full of people who spit on him and assaulted him. The story just wasn’t believable, but they gave themselves away when they said that the Easton cop who was alerted about told them that they were on their own.

Well the mainstream media did what it always does when we write a story like this –

They wrote about it and cited “social media” as their source. As if Turtleboy is an entity that doesn’t exist outside of this platform. But at least they got the story right and verified that our gut feeling was 1,000% accurate per usual.

A Facebook post claimed a veteran selling Trump 2020 merchandise on the side of the road was “attacked” by people who jumped out of vans, spit on the man and drove off – all while a police officer, who was directing traffic nearby, told the victim there was “nothing he could do.” But police say the incident didn’t occur as reported on social media. They say the woman who made the post wasn’t actually present when the incident occurred and that the alleged victim described a “very different encounter” – one in which the officer who was accused of idly standing by had actually already left the scene.

Deputy Police Chief Keith Boone told The Enterprise that police only learned of a potential incident on Monday morning, after the Facebook posts were brought to the department’s attention.

Translation – the Deputy Chief found out about it because he reads Turtleboy.

But I thought our friend Sandra said it was legit?

Are you saying that Beehive Betsy is a liar?

That Uncle Turtleboy sure is a (checks notes) libtard who puts words in people’s mouths. Words that they literally said a few hours before.

Turns out the “witness,” LoriAnn Johnson, wasn’t really a witness, and the guy running the stand was her employee.

On Monday morning, Boone said he read the Facebook posts and spoke with the officer who was working on Sunday. He said the officer was “quite puzzled” by the post because he wasn’t approached by anyone, nor was anything reported to the Police Department during any of Sunday’s shifts. Boone said he asked the officer to locate the woman who posted that the officer had done nothing in order to determine if she was a witness to a crime and to help police locate a potential victim.

“The officer was able to locate and speak with her Monday and learned that she was not present, nor did she know exactly what had occurred, other than her employee was the alleged victim involved and spoke to her after the incident took place,” Boone said.

Oops!

The woman told police that three vans pulled up in front of her employee while he was at the corner of Turnpike and Foundry streets and that “15 Spanish looking people jumped out,” Boone said. She claimed that they surrounded the worker, spat on him and called him racial slurs. She told the officer she was under the impression that he tried to speak to an officer and that nothing could be done.

Oh look, she lied about 15 “Spanish looking people” assaulting her employee at the Trump t-shirt stand, and as a result a bunch of people posted support and vowed to go buy a shirt. Almost as if this entire thing was by design, and she blamed another race of people because she knew it would fire up the base. Ya know, the exact same thing Jussie Smollett did.

The employee called his boss a liar too.

Police also contacted the man who had been selling merchandise on Sunday.

As long as LoriAnn can sell more t-shirts.

Now that the police have confirmed that Lori and Sandra made the whole thing up you’d think that they’d bow their heads in shame. But instead they’re pulling a Jussie and doubling down by calling it fake news.

The bottom line here is that you should question everything you see, even if it fits your narrative. This is why you read Turtleboy Sports – because we’re the only media outlet that isn’t afraid to call out bullshit on either side of the aisle when we see it. We are beholden only to the FACKS.
