Over Thanksgiving break, there was a story out of Tennessee and Rhodes College. You may have missed it, 'cause we certainly did, but here's how it was reported at the time:
A racist message was strewn across the National Panhellenic Council Plaza at Rhodes College, which is the only space on campus to pay tribute to the historically Black sororities and fraternities. Here's how the school is responding: https://t.co/poUfHw0Lmr pic.twitter.com/9OdtOrGIvF

Here's what Action News 5 reported at the time:
An open meeting on campus culture is being held Wednesday night at Rhodes College.
The meeting was called after racist messaging targeting Black students was found on campus.
The vandalism was strewn across the National Panhellenic Council Plaza, which is the only space on campus to pay tribute to the historically Black sororities and fraternities.
In a statement, Rhodes officials say they are, “working diligently to identify the person responsible for leaving a message of hateful rhetoric on our campus over the Thanksgiving break.”
“We are a community that is firmly committed to diversity, inclusion, belonging, civility, and respect, and we do not tolerate racial bias or hate speech,” the statement also reads.
After an investigation, it turns out -- like Jussie Smollett -- the 'hateful rhetoric' was staged as a way to smear Trump supporters.

A message stating, “F*ck N****rs, Trump Rules” was found on @RhodesCollege campus. The individual who reported the message just admitted the whole thing was fabricated.

Once again, the Democrats prove to be the racist ones.

And absolutely nobody is surprised.
Not a single person.
The left is thirsty for race riots.

They want a repeat of 2020.
They sure do.
Was it Jussie Smollett. He is free now 😂

Speaking of Jussie:

Exactly.
There need to be consequences.
This is a clear violation of @RhodesCollege honor code. Let’s see what happens. They didn’t support ACB , an alumna, as SCOTUS.

Nothing will happen to the offender.
Welcome to America, where the racism problem is so bad, they have to fake it to keep it in the media.

And even this story didn't get on our radar when it happened, so that tactic is failing.
Every single one of these “hate crimes” for the past like 20 years has been fake. Just an incredible streak of bulls**t. You’d think just by blind chance you’d at least have one or two real ones sprinkled in. https://t.co/R2njErqRgZ

They're batting a thousand.
These are almost always fake and done by attention-seeking liars, the exact people who are claiming they are the victims https://t.co/aC7uziUbm7

Or to gin up racial discord and civil unrest.
I've been following higher education news for @LegInsurrection for years and let me tell you, these situations almost always turn out to be hoaxes. https://t.co/pIQJzNcUKZ
