She had claimed she was attacked by three drunk white men who identified themselves as Trump supporters and tried to rip off her headscarf, and that no one on the train helped.
[ETA:. The story was widely reported in the media for days before the girl finally confessed its falsity. ]
I really, really, really hate to say this, but this story rang false to me from the beginning.
The incident allegedly happened on the 6 train at 10 pm at night in Manhattan, after she got on the train at 23rd and Park. The train would have still been fairly full at that time.
And it would have been full of liberals. Manhattan overwhelmingly voted Clinton. Trump is LOATHED here. He was booed when he went to vote. It's damn hard to find someone who will openly admit to being a Trump supporter. There is no fucking way three guys identifying themselves as Trump supporters and doing this to a Muslim girl wouldn't have been stopped by their fellow passengers, especially not just now. The mood here is grim.
And then none of those fellow passengers or the MTA employees supported her story? yeah, no. even if they were afraid to intervene, I promise we'd have witnesses stepping forward.
If you told me a person wearing a Trump hat was attacked by three drunk Clinton supporters in Manhattan and no one stopped them, I would have found it easier to believe, frankly.
Anyway. I hate when people make up claims of being assaulted. It taints the stories of actual victims. I have no doubt some real victims of anti-Muslim assaults will suffer some skepticism because this teen tried to do this. And that sucks.
Not to mention the police apparently wasted a lot of resources trying to find video, witnesses, etc., before she finally admitted it was a lie. www.nydailynews.com/new-york/muslim-woman-reported-trump-supporter-attack-made-story-article-1.2910944
I'm trying hard to cut her some slack on the score of her youth. But damn, this was dumb.
Police on Wednesday said a New Hyde Park teen made up a story about being verbally attacked on a New York City subway train because she is Muslim.
Yasmin Seweid, 18, was in police custody Wednesday afternoon and will be charged with filing a false police report, police told CBS2.
