The ‘Modern-Day Lynching’ Hoax—and the Elephant in the Room 

Nearly 60 Democrat 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 the FBI stated, “The series of deaths raise significant suspicion of foul play given the role of lynching in our nation’s history.” Rep. Ayanna Pressley called it a “national crisis.” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, 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? 

Demartravion “Trey” Reed, 21, was found hanging at Delta State University in Cleveland, Mississippi. The medical examiner found no foul play and ruled the death suicide. His family confirmed that his girlfriend said Reed sent suicidal texts the previous night. 

In Raleigh, North Carolina, a 32-year-old black man was found hanging downtown. Video showed him acting alone with a cord. His mother said he suffered mental health problems.  

Juliana Nzita, 16, was found on church property in Charlotte. Investigators found no defensive wounds, assault, foul play, or outside involvement.
