According to a report, after evidence emerged revealing the exact reverse of what an online smear campaign depicted, renowned Black Lives Matter hustler Benjamin Crump withdrew a social media post slamming a pregnant healthcare worker as a racist.
Sarah Comrie, a pregnant nurse, was labeled a racist when attorney Benjamin Crump, who has represented numerous families in high-profile instances of police brutality, posted a video showing her fighting with five young black guys about a Citi Bike she purchased.
This is totally unacceptable! Snarled Crump on social media. He claimed that a young black guy in New York City was riding a Citi Bike when a white lady was caught trying to steal it from him on video. Crump claimed she made an obvious effort to use her emotions as a weapon to portray this guy in a negative light. He then dramatically claimed this was the kind of thing that had put Black men in danger in the past.
Breitbart News reported last week that the 6-month pregnant healthcare worker, who had just finished a 12-hour shift at Bellevue Hospital, had the receipts to verify that she had never tried to steal a bike.
The nurse’s employer, Bellevue Hospital, suspended her after she was called racist by Crump and other public figures.
Comrie’s attorney Justin Marino verified that his client was the Bellevue Hospital staffer shown in the viral video that went viral after being released online.
The report showed several Twitter users pointed out that Crump removed the post shortly after a Fox News program in which the nurse’s lawyer, Justin Marino, stated that his client was forced to go into exile due to the unprecedented threats on her life and that his client would be bringing defamation cases.
Sarah Comrie’s uncle has started a GoFundMe page to collect money for her legal fees and living expenses.
