A Mediaite opinion article accused an Associated Press video about Tasia Fortune, found hanging in a Mississippi tree on Aug. 3, of framing her death around lynching history. The writer says Fortune’s mother saw no racial motive and claims both people charged in the killing are.
The piece says the AP video linked the case to the history of lynching and mentioned Democrats’ calls for DOJ investigations under the 2022 Emmitt Till Anti-Lynching Act. It disputes the video’s reference to a rope and noose, saying police reported an electrical cable was fastened around Fortune’s neck.
