Ex-GOP Aide Does Terrible Job Of Faking Anti-Trump Hate Crime Against Herself


Natalie Greene, Facebook

It’s hard not to feel a little bad for Natalie Greene.

The 26-year-old Rutgers law student, a now-former aide to US Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-New Jersey), probably had a reasonably pleasant future ahead of her before she and an unnamed co-conspirator got together and faked an elaborate assault and kidnapping by three imaginary evil anti-Republican criminals who knew exactly who she was and whom she worked for and wanted to make her pay. Why?

Well, I would assume that, like so many of her ilk, she is mad about the fact that the oppression and violence faced by other groups frequently engenders a sympathy of which they are deeply, seethingly envious and hoped that a vicious “crime” against her would do the same for white Republicans.

Unfortunately, for a Rutgers student, she was not too swift and made the whole thing a little too obviously fake for anyone to take seriously. So instead of a mass outpouring of pity and goodwill across the land, she ended up in federal court on Wednesday, being arraigned on charges of “conspiracy to convey false information and hoaxes” and giving false information to federal law enforcement. Awkward!

On July 23 of this year, the aforementioned co-conspirator called 911 to report that the two of them had been attacked by three terrifying anti-Trump radicals who told them they had guns. She explained that she had escaped the one who had her, but that the other two had Greene zip-tied and she could tell that they knew who she was, because they were referring to her by name and mentioning her work for Rep. Van Drew. You know, because such hooligans always know all about the aides to random New Jersey congressmen.

On July 23, Greene and her co-conspirator called 911 reporting that they were walking on a wooded trail in a nature preserve in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, when three men attacked them. They called Greene by name, referencing her employment with the federal official, according to the indictment.

When police responded, they found Greene's hands and feet bound with zip ties, her shirt pulled over her head, and the words "Trump whore" written across her stomach and "[federal official] is a racist" across her back, the indictment says.

There were lacerations all over her face, neck, chest and shoulder. Greene told police, both at the scene and a couple of days later, that her attacker held her down and threatened to shoot her, the indictment says.

During the investigation, police said they found Greene and her co-conspirator's stories did not match up. Police also found that Greene's co-conspirator had searched "zip ties near me" prior to the incident, and the same zip ties were found in Greene's Maserati.
