Today I was verbally assaulted in the grocery store by a white man who told me I was a lazy SOB and to go back to where I came from bc I had to many items in the express lane. My husband wasn’t there to defend me because he is on Active Duty serving the country I came from USA!

Can we say Jussie Smollett, folks? Media, once again, didn’t bother to get his story before spreading it everywhere. Bring on the tape…
Via Twitchy:
As Twitchy reported earlier Saturday, Patricia Arquette, Tom Arnold, Bill de Blasio, and Rep. Ted Lieu all expressed their disgust at Georgia State Rep. Erica Thomas being “verbally assaulted” in a grocery checkout lane by a white man who told her to go back to where she came from — of course he’d say exactly that, because he’s an obvious MAGA drone who repeats President Trump’s controversial tweets right on schedule.
BuzzFeed News was right on it:
And it turns out he’s Cuban and a lifelong Democrat. Oops. Although maybe not, after this.
Eric Sparkes "told [Channel 2's Christian Jennings] he is a lifelong Democrat and of Cuban nationality."https://t.co/A0tDJzztWD
That is not mentioned in this AP article: White man denies saying ‘Go back where you came from’https://t.co/XLyqYStnbs
