The number of hate crime hoaxes that we have seen in the past couple of years alone has been absolutely alarming. Of course, if these hoaxes are indeed called out for being hoaxes the entire narrative about how racist, bigoted, homophobic, etc. this country is under Trump completely falls apart and our good, delicate friends in the Social Justice movement can’t have that, now can they.
Andy Ngo wrote a detailed thread about several hate crime hoaxes about trans people perpetuated by the Left …
They can’t stand exposure of hate crime hoaxes because it makes it harder to politically exploit violence against LGBT people. The 26 killed trans people in 2018 were not all killed for being trans. This is important. I will go through each one-by-one. https://t.co/NkiRlL12x1

Not a hate crime.
Well, let’s be honest, murder itself is a hate crime but not by today’s standards of using identity to pretend it’s even more hateful to kill certain people.
