The reporting I’m hearing on this probably ought to start using the “alleged” qualifier. There’s a decent chance this is bullshit. I’m not saying it didn’t happen - just that there’s a lot of things here to be skeptical of. Naturally, most in the media are accepting it at face value.
Glad he left the rope around his neck for when the police arrived 45 minutes later, but then asked for them to turn off their body cams? Glad he was talking to his agent at the time of the attack, who can totally back up hearing the attack and the “MAGA Country” comments, but he won’t turn his phone over to police to verify that? Glad these two racist Trump supporters were hanging around outside at 2am in temps well below zero, and that they had some sort of thermos? that prevented whatever liquid they accosted him with from freezing? Glad the police found one video feed of two people walking on the other side of the street, but too bad those two people could be literally anybody and there’s absolutely no video of the alleged assault?
