^ and that's what makes it so disgusting. This guy lights a spark in a powder keg because he's not happy with his million dollar plus salary. He casts doubt on all legitimate assaults in the future, and this stunt could easily have precipitate some real violence in retribution for the staged attack.
It's the most self-indulgent narcissistic and nihilistic thing you could possibly do, and to do it for money, and to continually double down on the story over and over again as questions emerged. Watch him again on good morning America knowing he lied. It's gross. It actually feels like a hate crime since it was concocted to smear (presumably white) trump supporters.
I really hope this was just a case of it being a not very well thought it plan, vs. a casual disregard for the damage he might have done to civil society in general. Hard to believe someone could be so crass and careless on purpose.
