    What does he need to apologize about?

    The noose was reported by a Richard Petty Motorsports crew member on Sunday during the rain delay for the GEICO 500. NASCAR notified the FBI field office in nearby Birmingham, Alabama, and Phelps was the one who first told Wallace about its discovery.

    Wallace's only involvement in this whole thing is it was his assigned garage that had the noose.
    He didn't find it, he didn't report it.

    Bubba “Cried Wolf” Wallace should at least acknowledge that he was not the target of a
    Racist act.

    Why did Bubba Wallace do that was wrong such that he would need to apologize? When you realize that you can't answer that question rationally given that Bubba never filed the complaint and the FBI found that the only garage door pull that looked like a noose was in his garage, then you can maaaaybe start to understand why Trump's demand is racist.

    But if that doesn't get you there, remember that Trump also immediately criticized NASCAR for banning the confederate flag in that same tweet.

    Why don't people research what they post about before making unsubstantiated claims?

    The noose was reported by a Richard Petty Motorsports crew member on Sunday during the rain delay for the GEICO 500. NASCAR notified the FBI field office in nearby Birmingham, Alabama, and Phelps was the one who first told Wallace about its discovery.

    Bubba did NOT perpetrate a hoax.

    When it became apparent it was all a bunch of BS but he believed it and doubled down on it. Your race card is worn out.

    Where did I say Wallace reported it?

    I never said Wallace reported it, but he sure did play the victim card.

    Are they all tied in the form of a noose? I've seen garage pull ropes before, not at NASCAR garages granted, but I've never seen one tied that way. The back up pull rope for MY garage door isn't tied in the shape of a noose. Is yours? Why would they be tied that way?

    Why would they do it over a year in advance?

    According to an FBI investigation it was a complete hoax.

    Why do it at all? It took time and effort to tie that noose for no practical gain. So again, why was it tied that way at all?

    No, according to the FBI, it wasn't targeted at Wallace. There WAS a noose there and proof that it wasn't Wallace who tied it, but that's only information for people who read...

    You are assuming they were tying a noose and not just a knot with a loop they could grab to pull the door down. You are also assuming they would somehow know that at some point in the future (over a year) a black person would be assigned that garage.

    Trump sure knows how to rile the competition. Thing is, he's dead on right. That's gotta hurt.

    If the FBI did say it was a hoax then they should have reported who perpetuated the "hoax". There was no "hoax". Trump and his gang of fools need to get over it.

    Obviously to scare all the black drivers that may use that garage from now on. Good grief logic is they tied it to adjust the length goofing off in the garage. White, black, and brown people have all been hanged. The bigots don't get to say it's all about black people good grief the ignorance.

    Squirming away won't work. The hoax being that it was a racist act to intimidate, scare or fluster Wallace. That it was nothing of the sort, makes it a complete hoax.

    No, I never assumed they could predict the future at all. No one made this noose for Wallace's sake.

    A noose is specific type of knot that tightens under a load and the one in the garage is the type specifically tied when hanging people. That specific noose is rarely tied outside of that use as it's a symbol as much as a functional knot. There are much simpler nooses one could have tied to have a handle that look very different from this one.

    So why do you think that particular knot was used?

    No. A hoax is defined as: to trick into believing or accepting as genuine something false and often preposterous

    There WAS a noose. It WAS tied before Wallace took over the garage. He accepted that finding. He never claimed someone specifically threatened him with the noose. These are all easily verifiable facts that you are squirming away from. There was no hate crime against Wallace, that is also a fact. Your use of the term a complete hoax is your own ignorance of the English language and your bizarre love of Trump showing is all.

    I suspect it was used by someone as a joke with an obvious racial tone at some point in the past. I have no proof of that. Is that the end of the world? Does it make all of NASCAR filed with racists? The answer to both those questions is no. I'm only concerned that some people seem to imply the whole thing was somehow used to "harm white people via a hoax," as that's the most ludicrous conclusion one could come to.
