Absolutely. His crew member says that there is a noose in his garage. He doesn’t even look at it, but causes an FBI investigation. Couldn’t any idiot go in there an say, “Oh, this thing is a pull rope.” Yeah it vaguely looked like a noose because there was a loop at the end so you can pull it with your hand.

To make such a wild allegation based on the evidence is irresponsible and detracts from real racism.

ETA: We definitely want to punish racism. To do that we need to punish false and made up allegations of racism.
