A recent burning cross in a Chicago park was not aimed at the city’s black population but at President Donald Trump and white Christian nationalism. The perp wasn’t an angry, racist, white person as Democrats like Mayor Brandon Johnson and others had wished; instead, the flaming cross was admittedly set by a 21-year-old, gay, socialist, Asian-American man.

Good thing hate hoaxes are so rare. Right?
Fortunately, SPLC has come up with an authenticity workaround.

If one sees a burning cross, one assumes things about it’s origin.
Those assumptions don’t typically include “a 21-year-old, gay, socialist, Asian-American man.”
Maybe we should get the SPLC to investigate the incident’s “root causes.”
“According to prosecutors, the pair were also reimbursed for expenses related to Ku Klux Klan activities, including cross-burning events and associated costs such as wood and fuel.”

Since the Left loves co-opting narratives so much, can we (partially) co-opt this one into saying, “young socialists hate black people”?
And given the recent funding boondoggles, does anyone still care what the Socialist Preposterous Lie Center says?
