Even paranoiacs have enemies, they say — but sometimes they’re just paranoid.
Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley, a founding member of The Squad, organized 59 Democrats to co-sign her letter demanding a federal investigation of a spate of supposed lynchings that never happened.
The document pronounced its signatories “extremely alarmed by reports of Black people found hanging from trees in numerous states throughout our country.“
“The series of deaths,“ the letter continues, “raises significant suspicion of foul play given the role of lynching in our nation’s history.”
Pressley and her colleagues call for a federal investigation of every hanging death of a black person in the United States, insisting that “inaction by the federal government is tantamount to complicity.“
The letter deems all of this “a national crisis.”
In a post on X, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said how proud she was to sign the missive.
She noted that “this year, there have already been 10 reported hangings of Black people in the US,” and how we must “address these widespread modern-day lynchings and put a stop to this racial terror.”
It apparently didn’t occur to AOC or any of the other signers to do Google searches of local-news stories about the hangings.
If they had, they would have learned that almost all of them were acts of suicide — awful in their own right, but hardly evidence that we are once again living in the Deep South circa 1892.

Soon we'll have a Dem VP nominee with a possible ketamine addiction problem
They don’t seem at all concerned about hundreds to thousands of blacks killing each other. Versus the potential (mostly made up) of a few isolated reports of lynchings.
It’s all for show. As Rush used to say, politics is show business for ugly people.
U.S. Representative Ayanna Pressley’s husband, Conan Harris (shown), served some 10 years in a federal prison for drug trafficking .......he later became a tax-paid "government public safety adviser" and executive director of a n/p group as a "re-entry reform advocate."
so much for reparations, we need to stop.
It beats having to do things that help Americans.
“AOC’s faux lynching panic exposes the left’s poisonous racial delusions”
These are NOT delusions. Delusions are false beliefs. The left knows perfectly well they are not true. They use this as a tool to attain their goals. It’s calculated.

Message: Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley incited 59 Democrats to co-sign an official government letter demanding a federal investigation of supposed lynchings that never happened and do not exist. The Democrat signatories reported being “extremely alarmed by reports of Black people found hanging from trees throughout our country.” Using tax dollars and tax-paid office equipment and staff, Democrat Pressley and her colleagues invented a crime, and are clamoring for a federal response.
REALITY CHECK: reporting a non-existent crime is a criminal offense in every US jurisdiction.
A false report is a misdemeanor or a felony depending on the severity of the response.
Penalties increase if the fake report wastes tax dollars, l/e time, or triggers a major emergency response.
Pressly as the ringleader and the Democrat signatories should be charged with misdemeanors and felonies.
And the one that wasn’t a suicide was a black man killing a black woman
‘Squad’ Rep. Ayanna Pressley’s ex-con hu sband slaps
phone out of man’s hands as he tries to ask Presslry a question
By Alec Schemmel, Fox News
Published Jan. 7, 2026
The felony-convicted husband of progressive “squad” lawmaker Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., slapped a phone out of a reporter’s hands Monday inside a city hall building after they attempted to approach the congresswoman to ask her a question about alleged childcare fraud in Minnesota.
“Congresswoman Pressley, do you support –” the interviewer could be heard asking as he approached Pressley with his phone camera on record before Conan Harris, Pressley’s husband who spent 10 years in prison on felony drug trafficking charges, smacked the phone out of the questioner’s hand.
“Sir, you cannot take my phone out of my hand,” the questioner could be heard saying, before the phone was picked back up and returned to focus. Harris spent 10 years in prison on a drug trafficking charge before marrying Pressley, who said she draws from his experience of reintegrating into regular society after leaving prison to help inform how she advocates for incarcerated, or previously incarcerated, individuals.
The incident took place Monday at Chelsea City Hall located in Chelsea, Massachusetts.
Meanwhile, the cameraman tried to focus the picture on Harris after his phone was knocked out of his hand, but Harris was seen walking into what appeared to be a bathroom, or some type of room off the hallway they were located in, once he was able to re-focus the camera.
Instead, the interviewer went back to Pressley and attempted a second time to get his question in.
“Congresswoman Pressley, do you support President Trump investigating Somali childcare fraud in Minnesota?” he asked as the Massachusetts Democrat walked away, guarded by her entourage of staffers. “Congresswoman Pressley?”
