Remember the racist white supremacist monster that lit a burning cross in Chicago?
Turns out he wasn’t a racist white guy, he was an anti-Trump Asian guy “protesting.”
The Gateway Pundit reported,
On June 9, 2026, police and firefighters responded to a burning cross in Chicago’s Grant Park.
The incident prompted immediate backlash, and one local church offered a $10,000 reward to help make an arrest, and local officials were quick to blame the incident on racism and ‘white supremacists.’
Block Club Chicago reports that Rev. Michael Pfleger of St. Sabina Church, who offered the reward, noted, “Racism has always been a part of America’s DNA, and this week it has raised its head boldly and loudly,” Pfleger said in a statement.
“This bold rise of racism must be condemned by every race, faith community, and Chicagoan as was done with the swastika and treated as a hate crime.”
As it turns out, however, the cross-burner is an Asian man, Merlin Lu, who burned the cross, adorned with a MAGA hat, to protest President Trump and MAGA.
Lu, a senior at the University of Illinois Chicago, spoke with NBC.
“He’s just scamming people,” Lu told the reporter.
“We’re just being scammed out of money, right. And I think that’s a great reflection of how this country works right now, where money controls everything.”
As for burning the cross, which the Anti-Defamation League says is one of the “most potent hate symbols in the United States,” Lu responded, “I wanted to find something that I could do by myself, like no organization, no friends,” he added.
“I did know about this historical relevance beforehand, but I didn’t know the severity, how racially motivated it may seem from what I did.”
The race-baiting media is so desperate to paint a false narrative, yet so often the so-called public acts of racism are total hoaxes.
Whether it is a burning cross lit by an ant-MAGA protester, a C-list actor lying about a “MAGA country” attack, or an innocent garage pull, it seems facts come second to their agenda.
Much like the old story of the boy who cried wolf, no one will ever believe the lying legacy media ever again when they shout racism.
