HOUSTON (AP) — The top elected official in a county in suburban Houston was indicted on Thursday over allegations he created fake and racist social media posts when he ran for re-election in 2022...
The indictment alleges that on Sept. 26, 2022, [KP George] posed as a Facebook user named “Antonio Scalywag”...
The indictment did not specify the election that was allegedly influenced or the candidate that was injured. But at the time, George, a Democrat, was running for re-election as county judge against Trever Nehls, who is the twin brother of Texas congressman Troy Nehls.
...authorities accused him in a Sept. 17 search warrant of working with his former chief of staff, Taral Patel, to use the “Antonio Scalywag” alias to post racist social media posts targeting George in order to garner sympathy....
George, who was born in India and later became a U.S. citizen, is the first person of color to serve as county judge in Fort Bend...Patel, who is running for a county commissioner position in the Nov. 5 election, was indicted earlier this month on four charges of online impersonation and four charges of misinterpretation of identity. Authorities allege Patel also used the “Antonio Scalywag” alias to make racist posts to help him in his own race....

not only fake, but racist too...
“accused of making fake social media posts during election”
“allegations he created fake and racist social media posts when he ran for re-election in 2022...”
Notice the contortions they go through to avoid saying the Democrat comiited election fraud.
It’s election fraud. Say it.
Democrats are so consistent. Narcissistic, greedy, dishonest, cheats, frauds, liars and racist.
Mug shot.

We pay them to come here. We pay for everything in their lives, taking many from complete abject poverty to living in riches with free food, housing, medical care and every other welfare benefit known to man. Then, they turn on us and try to destroy our country.
The complete and utter contempt these foreigners show for Americans and our laws is disgusting.
Since when is posting stuff under an assumed name a crime. Even if the topics are elections??
What happened to the first Amendment..
Much of the debate over the founding was conducted by men using pseudonyms. Read the Federalists.
Under this interpretation of law they were all criminals.
Also: when did holding racist beliefs become a crime? It’s been unfashionable for 40 years, at least. But illegal?
Apples and oranges.
Exactly. The law in question is likely unconstitutional. Hiding you identity to voice political opinion and even post questionable content should not be illegal.
So the idiot owner of FB can spent $600 million to influence the election and get off Scot free?
“Since when is posting stuff under an assumed name a crime.”
Remember when Nikki Haley wanted to MAKE that a crime?
You read my mind.
granted the article is poorly written but the gist of it is, he created a fake persona to post racist comments to himself in order for him to cry racism, look at me, feel sorry for me. Patel also posted racist comments to himself and to the judge, again in order to cry racism where none existed.
Did Pierre Delecto pose as a French Canadian on Twitter?
Asking for a friend.
Whoops.
99% of Freepers could probably be charged for posting under a fake name.
