AOC’s ‘modern-day lynchings’ claim torn to shreds online as Black hanging case findings tell a different story
- Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Ayanna Pressley led about 50 to 60 Democrats in sending a letter to the Department of Justice and FBI demanding a federal investigation into recent hangings of Black individuals, calling them modern-day lynchings and a national crisis.
- Most high-profile Black hanging deaths cited in the letter have been officially ruled suicides by law enforcement or medical examiners, with only one case currently under homicide investigation and no confirmed racial motives reported.
- The case under homicide investigation involves Tasia Fortune, found hanging in Jackson, Mississippi, with no suspects charged or evidence of racially motivated attacks.
- Critics and community fact-checks, including social media users, dispute the characterization of these deaths as lynchings, noting most were ruled suicides and emphasizing the need for thorough investigations.
