He’s protesting too much. That’s as stupid as the stunt was in the first place. He really underestimated the police with this stunt.
I think the cops knew immediately it was a hoax but no doubt they are being massively pressured by the Rats up top to continue the “investigation”. What I think is going to happen is eventually it will be brushed under the rug just like the Tawana Brawley hoax and left as an “open case”, he will admit nothing and everyone will slink away and the left will say the attack by the evil white racist MAGA men really happened when in fact it didn’t.
