Trump supporters really wanted the case of Bubba Wallace and the nefarious noose that was discovered inside his racing garage on June 20th to be similar to a Jussie Smollet hoax, but that’s not what happened. The incident was far from a hoax, and Wallace wasn’t the individual that discovered the noose, nor was he the one that called the FBI. And in today’s political climate, someone discovering a noose in a Black NASCAR driver’s garage isn’t a good look. But Donald Trump called it a hoax instead of being unifying like NASCAR was with its driver.
Instead of addressing the multiple crises this country is facing, Trump lashed out at Bubba Wallace on Twitter nearly a month after the incident to baselessly call it a “hoax” and suggested the Black NASCAR driver apologize for something that was not in his control.
Has @BubbaWallace apologized to all of those great NASCAR drivers & officials who came to his aid, stood by his side, & were willing to sacrifice everything for him, only to find out that the whole thing was just another HOAX? That & Flag decision has caused lowest ratings EVER!

The Lincoln Project responded to President Rampy McTinyDick.
He won’t wear a mask, but he has no problem with a white hood.

This is the “garage pull.” If you were a Black American, the first thing that goes through your mind wouldn’t be “this is a garage pull.” pic.twitter.com/dfJqIR3UIY

Has Donald trump apologized to any of the families of 130,000 people who died unnecessarily because his stupid ass refuses to take COVID-19 seriously?

Reminder that @BubbaWallace never saw it, never reported it. NASCAR officials and bubba’s crew did. Bubba played no role in its discovery.
Bubba has confirmed he’s received death threats from this event. Those will continue and/or intensify after this.
Donald Trump is a racist. https://t.co/5hy5IvDJNt
