Often hate hoaxes are used by neurotics to generate sympathy or by liberal ideologues to raise awareness of a problem that does not exist. Other times, hoaxes have more practical applications — like to win elections:

Fort Bend County [Texas] Judge KP George, a top elected official in the suburban Houston county, won a 2022 re-election bid against his Republican opponent, Trever Nehls.

A warrant obtained by KHOU 11 shows that George’s cellular devices suggested he had been communicating with a fellow employee who used a fake Facebook account under the name ‘Antonio Scalywag’ to interact with the judge’s posts and leave racist comments.

No wonder they call it “Fakebook.” Sometimes it seems nothing on it can be taken at face value.

George is accused … of working hand in hand with his former chief of staff, Taral Patel, who was employed as a consultant for George’s re-election campaign in 2022.

Evidence from the obtained warrant suggests that Patel was the one leaving the racist comments – all with permission from the judge.

George was born in India. Not being American gives the Democrat an advantage that he got carried away exploiting.

He was first elected as a county judge in 2018 and became the first person of color to ever serve as a judge in Fort Bend.

Very historic. Also, George is the first Texas judge born in India to achieve a position on the Hate Hoax List.
