Several events have been popping up,
mainly on Facebook or Twitter on Trump-inspired hate crimes. One of the
stories that went vial and spread by Mic.com writer Sarah Harvard. The
story, sourced from her “friend’s sister,” was eventually responded to by campus
police at the university where it allegedly occurred, after going viral.
According to the Daily
Caller: A student at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette admitted to
fabricating an alleged attack by Donald Trump supporters Wednesday, in the wake
of his shocking electoral victory. A currently unnamed woman called Lafayette
police Wednesday claiming that two men had attacked her, screaming racial slurs
and stealing both her wallet and the hijab she was wearing. The woman also said
she was knocked to the ground by “something metal.”
According to the woman,
both of her attackers were white men, and one was wearing a Donald Trump hat.
She said the attack happened around 11 am, with her two attackers jumping out
of a sedan to attack her without provocation. The attack was quickly picked up
by regional and national media sources, and was condemned by the
Louisiana branch of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
