A New Jersey woman who was found bound with zip ties in the woods and marked with a derogatory phrase referencing President Donald Trump is now accused of staging the attack.

Natalie Greene, 26, is charged with conspiracy to convey false statements and hoaxes and making false statements to federal law enforcement.

According to court documents, Greene and a co-conspirator called 911 late July 23 and claimed that three men had attacked them on a trail at the Egg Harbor Township Nature Reserve. The co-conspirator told dispatchers the men referenced Greene by name and mentioned her job in politics. According to reports, Greene previously worked for a Republican congressman.

    (no, Charlie Kirk’s shooter wasn’t a leftist)

    Yes he was, and I dont really understand why anyone is making this an argument. If he was right wing, he would have loved Kirk. Everyone who knows him said he was holding very strong pro LGBT opinions, something an extremist right winger wouldnt. He was also dating a trans woman… I mean, need I go on?

    Why the fuck are you all so bothered that this nutjob was one of yours??? Its not like youre an unhinged psycho as well, just because you share opinions.

      The suspect has not made a comment on his political leanings. The only person who has is Utah Republican governor Spencer Cox, and republican president Donald Trump, neither of which are well known for their level headed honesty.

          Because I’m an immigrant and green card holder and the current administration is adversarial towards people like me, and stoking those fires leads to a worse quality of life for me and my family.

            And what does any of that have to do with the shooter??? Am I a speaking a different fucking language here? What does you being an immigrant have to do with whether of not the shooter was left or right wing???

      most yankees don’t have coherent political views

      He was a mormon kid who wanted people to be nice to each other. And shot someone about it. That’s not really right or left.

      It has nothing to do with what he “would have” thought of Kirk. What’s established by his family’s testimony is that he broke from their conservative ideologies not long before his heinous act and expressed sympathy for Leftist views. Yes, he absolutely was Left-leaning, but came from a Right-wing family.

      Ultimately, it doesn’t really matter. The statistics still show the Right-wing extremists are more violent on average, and by a long shot.

        heinous act

        lmao. The dude was literally using weasel words to imply trans people and black people are responsible for school shootings when hus neck did that.

        Stopping him from justifying violence against marginalized people is the opposite of heinous.
