County commission candidate confesses to writing racist letter (Oregon)
East Oregonian ^ | Jul 6, 2020 | Jade McDowell

HERMISTON — A racist letter that recent Umatilla County commissioner candidate Jonathan Lopez claimed was left anonymously in his mailbox was written by Lopez himself, according to Lopez and Hermiston Police Chief Jason Edmiston.

On Monday, July 6, Edmiston said in an email that Lopez had confessed that he wrote the letter. Edmiston said the case would be forwarded to the Umatilla County District Attorney’s office for review for initiating a false report, a Class A misdemeanor in Oregon.

“From the onset, this alleged incident has been thoroughly investigated,” Edmiston wrote in an email. “Our investigation has shown that Mr. Lopez wrote the letter himself and made false statements to the police and on social media. The end result is a verbal and written admission by Mr. Lopez that the letter was fabricated.”

No big surprise that this is just another fake hate crime, but stolen valor is an issue with this one as well.

White privilege is not having to fake your own hate crimes.

Why do they have to keep making up false racism charges? I thought America had rampant systemic racism. It should be pretty easy to find.

You would think that in a country of 320 MILLION people that is shot through with “systemic racism” and “hate groups” that there wouldn’t be a need to stage “hate-crime’ hoaxes almost continuously.

Lopez: “Gosh darn it; why won’t someone write me a racist letter so that I can get sympathy and publicity? Guess I’ll have to write it myself.”

Must be that systemic racism that’s suppressing the reports of real “hate” crimes.

America is so great that they have to invent fake hate crimes to smear it.
