Fox News Stoked Outrage Over Migrants Displacing Homeless Vets. It Was a Hoax.​

Fox News and the rest of right-wing media went wild for a week over a now-debunked story about New York hotels booting homeless vets to accommodate asylum seekers.

The story had all the hallmarks of fueling the maximum amount of right-wing outrage. With migrants being bused into New York City amid an immigration surge at the southern border, upstate New York hotels had supposedly kicked out homeless veterans in order to make room for the influx of asylum seekers.

After right-wing tabloid The New York Post published the sensational report last Friday, Fox News and Newsmax ran wild with it, devoting dozens of segments (and countless online articles) to the indignation of “people who served our country and need a little boost” getting displaced by “illegals,” all while “these hotels are selling their soul for a check.”

Turns out, however, the whole story was made up.

The whole saga kicked off when the Post reported that 20 “struggling homeless veterans” were booted from hotels so their rooms could be given to incoming migrants. According to Yerik Israel Toney Foundation, the nonprofit group that works on temporarily housing the vets, the ex-military members had been told by the New York hotels that they needed to vacate and move elsewhere.

Just this morning I had to kick off a homeless black woman shrieking banshee overdosing on Fentanyl next to my house. Just call 311 and wait to get blown off because Democrats can't solve 2+2 let alone social issues. Like that. Democrats can't wipe their colective noses.

Ok but why were the Vets told to vacate ?

Hoax. Bigly!

Is this hoax going to cost 30 million? Is it going to last for years? The people you support are lying about virtually everything. It becomes more obvious every day.

That's not fair. No one should be taking advantage of the right-wing retards. They are so so gullible. Heck, they still believe the orange douche-bag won the election.

They believe, rightly so, that the election was stolen.

Irony!

Read the WHOLE link, dipshit. The story was made up. No vets were kicked out of a hotel.

The Post completely fabricated the story.

The manager of the hotel also told Mid-Hudson News that no veterans were ever at the hotel, let alone kicked out of Crossroads. No other guests had been displaced either, as the hotel had not been booked to capacity despite housing a group of migrants.

Eventually, Maher ended up denouncing the story as fake and emotionally told the Times-Union he was “devastated and disheartened” after finding out from Toney-Finch that she had made the whole thing up.
