When video of a nurse who is six-months pregnant arguing with a group of black men over a Citi Bike rental came out and went viral, the media took the predictable approach, which is not bothering to wait for all the facts before setting a desired narrative. NBC News’ spin, which now is tagged with a Community Note, is still up though that might soon change:

Other media outlets of course got in on pushing the bogus narrative:

It’s starting to look like “full Sandmann” might be in the cards, because the nurse now has a lawyer who isn’t messing around and they have the receipt showing his client paid for the bike:
"She's been called a racist. She's been called a thief. There are reasons defamation laws exist, and we plan to pursue that."

In a story earlier today we were a bit surprised that a defamatory tweet from attorney Ben Crump — who loves to fan the racial flames no matter how dishonest the claims — hadn’t yet been deleted.
Perhaps the lawyers for the lawyer convinced him that leaving the tweet up was a bad idea, because now it’s gone (but of course the Internet is forever):

Crump tried to stir the racial pot before he knew what really happened (or maybe already knew the truth and didn’t care)? We couldn’t be less surprised.
.@AttorneyCrump has now deleted his BS racist tweet that got over 20k likes in which he disgustingly defamed the pregnant nurse who had a group of black teens attempt to steal her bike.@AttorneyCrump hasn't even corrected his lies.
I hope he gets sued into oblivion. pic.twitter.com/Ioxqg2V6lD— Leftism (@LeftismForU) May 19, 2023
19 MILLION people saw @AttorneyCrump’s false accusation that a pregnant nurse attempted to rob a black man before he deleted it when fact checked him. The pregnant nurse has a receipt for the bike and was on it when the man tried to force her off. She should sue Ben for damages! pic.twitter.com/rYF9X4QFdp

We have a feeling that just might happen.
Race baiting lawyer @AttorneyCrump has now deleted his post about the nurse who had rented a bike and then was accused of stealing the bike from a black boy etc. etc. He left it up for days after the truth were known until her attorney said there will be defamation lawsuit…

Just delete the tweet? Why no apology? Why not condemn what really happened?

What are the odds that Crump will actually apologize to the woman?
