The midterm elections are just around the corner, which means many Democrats, including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, are going to be trying to get their "white supremacist" narrative going again by claiming that lynchings are happening on a regular basis in the U.S.
This year, there have already been 10 reported hangings of Black people in the U.S.

I’m proud to have signed onto @RepPressley ‘s letter to address these widespread modern-day lynchings and put a stop to this racial terror. https://t.co/ISo20mbLyg
As usual, a Community Note sunk another AOC/Dem talking point:
"Most high-profile cases of Black people found hanging in 2025-26 were ruled suicides by medical examiners and police, with no evidence of foul play. One remains a homicide probe. Framing as modern-day lynchings is not supported by official findings."
More Democrat lies.
60 Democrats, or nearly 30% of the caucus, signed onto this letter that falsely claims there is an epidemic of racist lynchings of black people. https://t.co/wYmIla2dso

The case that the Community Note said remained open is also in the process of being solved, because an arrest has been made. It's time again to play "guess what's not mentioned in an Associated Press headline or story" with this one:
Mississippi police have arrested a man in the death of Tasia Fortune, a Black woman found hanging from a tree last month. https://t.co/S3zR7LJrbQ

Is the AP sure there's nothing more to add?
I believe you left out a few important facts......

The Associated Press knew exactly what they were doing... or not doing in this case.
The AP won’t tell you this, but the suspect is a 51 year old black man.

It would kill the narrative on lynching.
You guys truly suck. https://t.co/PsESAwDlaO
Help me to understand why you felt the need to point out that it was a "black woman" who died, but did not need to point out that it was a "black man" who was arrested?

The perp is a 51 year old black man. Why did @AP leave this out of the report instead of promoting the “AOC” lynching narrative? https://t.co/RnZLBp97ms

Maybe the AP didn't want to ruin another BS Democrat narrative. So much "journalism"! And if the person arrested did fit what the Left was after, the AP definitely would have had room for that in the headline.
CNN was spotted doing the same thing earlier this year with a similar story out of Mississippi.
