Another day, another hate hoax…
Umatilla County commissioner candidate Jonathan Lopez admitted this week he faked the hate mail he posted on his facebook page.
Lopez posted the hateful letter filled with racist, homophobic and misogynist slurs.
What a nut.
And Lopez said he served in the US Coast Guard.
It was another lie and violation of the Stolen Valor Act.
KOMO News reported:
A man who claimed he received a hate-filled, racist letter from an anonymous person allegedly wrote the letter himself, Hermiston Police say.
Chief Jason Edmiston tells KEPR-TV News that the criminal investigation for second-degree intimidation due to the racist, hate-filled letter received by Jonathan Lopez on June 23 has been closed. The matter will be referred this week to the Umatilla County District Attorneys Office for initiating a false report – a Class A misdemeanor in Oregon.
Edmiston says the investigation has shown that Jonathan 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 Lopez that the letter was fabricated.
Additionally, the Hermiston Police are sending the Office of the District Attorney verifiable information of potential election fraud as it pertains to the Stolen Valor Act of 2013 and other false credentials presented by Mr. Lopez during his run for county commissioner. This in conjunction with a lengthy criminal history record may result in the filing of additional charges.
It’s getting harder and harder to find a real hate crime. The hoaxers are taking over the industry.
bkmk
Stolen Valor?
Line him up, offer a smoke. blindfold and let me say, ready, aim and fire.
The SOB.
When you’re in a country that has largely eliminated most forms of racism, and when fighting “trumped up” racism is integral to your political being, it’s understandable that false examples of racism occasionally must be ginned up.
Great article...of course I can’t use it as the libs I would show it to would say, “It by Dennis Prager, nothing he writes is true. Show me proof from a reputable source.”
Of course to them, if I found the same information posted by the ladies at the view, by Michelle Obama, or Hillary Clinton, it would also be discounted as it does not agree with their pre-conceived notions of reality.
Allegedly? He confessed to it.
I guess someone else should have put "Oregon" in the title, huh?
Well, no one else is gonna do it.
HA! Perfect.
what a punk ass little worm!
Please have more respect. He served in Vietnam with Senator Richard Blumenthal.
“Sending Himself Racist Hate Mail”
Correct me if I’m wrong:
Using the US Mail to commit a hoax makes it a felony automatically and all it takes to prove it is that they used the US Mail to commit the hoax - it is Mail Fraud. He did.
If he acted in concert with someone else, it is a RICO case.
County commissioners and sheriffs are non-partisan in Oregon.
Yes, both did ops with Carlos Hathcock.
A “re-imagined” hate crime!
Party doesn’t matter, and the re-election is no problem.
He already has the signed ballots staged in stacks in his basement in this vote-by-mail state.
Where is the downside to faking an attack? he might try again in a few weeks.
