Hate Hoax: Texas Democrat Arrested For Faking Hate

Apparently there just isn’t enough actual racism in America because all we really hear in terms of racist “hate crimes” are Democrat minorities faking hate. And badly.

The latest example is particularly galling because the perpetrator of the fake hate did two very evil things: one, he used the actual photo of an actual citizen on his hate-spewing account; and two, he waxed “tolerance” and “strength” in the face of the fake hate HE was perpetrating. So slimy and disgusting I (almost) have no words.

The New York Post reports:

An ex-Biden White House appointee and current Democratic candidate for a county commissioner seat in Texas allegedly created a dummy social media account to post bogus racist comments about himself.Taral Patel, 30, the challenger running for county commissioner in Fort Bend County Precinct 3 just outside of Houston, was arrested for online impersonation last week after an investigation initiated by his opponent, incumbent Andy Meyers.The Fort Bend District Attorney’s Office started the probe in October, shortly after a lengthy Facebook post Patel made in September in which he painted himself and his family as victims of a vicious race-based smear campaign perpetrated by his opponent’s supporters.Included with the post was a collage of about a dozen racist messages he claimed he received over the course of his candidacy, calling him vile names such as “monkey” and “subhuman” and attacking his Hindu faith.. . . . Meyers became suspicious when he recognized one of the names in the collage, “Antonio Scalywag,” as someone who had previously assailed him online, ABC 13 wrote, prompting him to request an investigation into Patel’s claims.Investigators subpoenaed Facebook and Google to obtain account information about the user profile, which led them right back to Patel — including his address, phone number, bank card number and more.On Wednesday Texas Rangers arrested Patel for online impersonation in the third degree — a felony — as well as a Class A misdemeanor charge for misrepresentation of identity.

This isn’t even Jussie Smollett levels of vainglorious stupid and “look at me” crazy; this was a clear attempt to influence an election by manufacturing fake hate to then “rise above” it in some delusional self-elevation. Insane. There must be something more despicable, but I am at a loss at this moment.

BREAKING: Democrat County Commissioner Taral Patel in Fort Bend, Texas was just arrested and charged for creating a fake Facebook account & posting racist comments on himself to make it appear like his Republican challenger was a racistIs this guy the next Jussie Smollett?Patel got charged with two counts of Felony Online Impersonation and one Class A misdemeanor charge of Misrepresentation of Identity, a Texas Election Code violation.According to the investigation, Patel started his plot in October 2022 when he created the account with the identity of a real person in Needville, Texas including photos of the person with his family as the profile picture. He crafted the account to make it look like a Trump supporter and posted support for his Republican challenger in a racist way (more details in the thread).Thanks to @j3669 for digging up this insane story

The hubris and hypocrisy are thick with this one.

Patel’s Republican opponent was a guy named Andy Meyers, so he used the fake account to post the most racist thing he could think of to (1) make it seem like Meyers supporters were all racist and (2) make Meyers seem racist”I am against false gods and their worshippers (sic) winning office in a Christian nation. I am with Meyers ALL THE WAY because he serves Jesus, unlike Patel and his followers who worship Monkey and Elephant,”

According to Hot Air, Patel leveraged his fake hate campaign against himself in the most weaselly way possible:

“[W]hen my Republican opponents supporters’ decide to hurl #racist, #anti-immigrant, #Hinduphobic, or otherwise disgusting insults at my family, faith community, colleagues, and me – that crosses a line,” he wrote. He also accused former President Donald Trump and “today’s extremist Republican party” of inciting such rhetoric.

I can’t even.

Perhaps most galling of all, Patel used the photo of an actual person and his family, reportedly without his knowledge or consent. This is dangerous beyond words.

The Fort Bend Star reports:

Taral Patel, the Democratic candidate in the upcoming election for Fort Bend County Precinct 3 Commissioner and a former chief of staff to County Judge KP George, is accused by law enforcement authorities of creating a fake Fakebook account, using the photograph of another Fort Bend County resident, in order to post false, racist messages about himself and others related to the campaign.Patel, 30, is also accused of creating an email account under another false identity to send fake messages about Andy Meyers, the Republican incumbent Precinct 3 Commissioner, and Abrahim Javed, one of four other Democratic candidates in the March primary. Patel scored a slim majority in the race and is slated to run against Meyers in November.Patel was arrested by Texas Rangers at his Sugar Land residence Wednesday, according to the Fort Bend County District Attorney’s Office. The formal charges are online impersonation, a third-degree felony, and misrepresentation of identity, a Class A misdemeanor. After being booked in the Fort Bend County Jail, he is free after posting two bail bonds totaling $22,500. An initial court date is set for July 22 in the 240th District Court.

People, obviously have thoughts, but I am most appalled at the holier than thou attitude this completely evil human being pretended in the face of racist attacks he, himself, perpetrated. I mean, really, is there much that is lower than that? Even Jussie just wanted to be famous. He didn’t seek sainthood for his imaginary victimhood.
