The White House doubled down after falsely labeling the Bubba Wallace incident as a 'hoax.'
The White House doubled down on framing the Bubba Wallace incident as hoax on Monday after President Donald Trump demanded an apology from the Black NASCAR driver more than two weeks after a noose was found in his garage at Talledega.
— @WADIBIG July 6, 2020 “So NASCAR would note, their statement says that this garage pull rope was there since last fall, since far before the teams arrived at these garage, ” McEnany said. “And they also said definitively, the FBI investigation determined it, that there was no hate crime versus Bubba committed.”
— Donald J. Trump July 6, 2020 No hoax in Wallace incidentMcEnany’s statement that the noose was in the garage before Wallace’s team occupied it ahead of a race in Talladega, Alabama is accurate. The FBI determined in an investigation that it had been there since 2019. Wallace never saw or reported the noose himself. A member of his team did. There were no false claims of a hate crime publicly made by Wallace’s team. A noose was found, and an investigation ensued from there. NASCAR later released a photo of the noose.
— The Hill July 6, 2020 “I’m not going to answer a question a sixth time,” McEnany said when pressed again.Response to Trump’s flag statementKayleigh McEnany:"At Trump rallies, all flags that are not official Trump campaign gear are banned." pic.twitter.com/JS769AwA5I
