Great tweet and right on the money.
Taxpayers should receive an apology as well for funding a double digit team of FBI agents to investigate a stupid garage door pull down rope.
Why? The taxpayers got the benefit of the investigation. Everyone was happy with the outcome.
It was a an unfortunate coincidence but it was certainly worth looking into. That is what the investigation proved. Given today's climate, the investigation probably saved money by keeping extra fuel out of the fire.
I disagree. It wasn't worth looking into.
The investigation probably cost over half million dollars alone just to fly everyone out, book hotels, travel food etc.
NASCAR should have said
"nah it's just a garage rope, we don't need an investigation" and prevented faux outrage. People still believe this rope was placed there by a white supremacist...they literally believe this took place despite no evidence for it.
This is the statement from Phelps/NASCAR:
Quote:
"This is ... disturbing to hear that it was thought that one of our own had committed this heinous act. It is fantastic to hear from the FBI, definitively, that there was not a hate crime."
This statement is asinine. It never should have developed into even questioning racism whatsoever.
