“Nearly 60 Democratic members of Congress signed a letter to sound an alarm: black Americans are being found hanging, including some from trees, in a wave of possible ‘modern-day lynchings’. Their letter to the Justice Department and FBI stated, ‘The series of deaths raise significant suspicion of foul play given the role of lynching in our nation’s history’. Democrat Rep. Ayanna Pressley (MA-7) called it a ‘national crisis’. Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14), who signed the letter, tweeted about ‘widespread modern-day lynchings’ and ‘racial terror’. Every suspicious death deserves investigation. But history is not evidence. What are the facts?” (09/17/26)
