A noose was found in Wallace's garage stall at Talladega in June. And while that noose's placement wasn't a hate crime, its existence wasn't a hoax either.
Bubba Wallace issued a statement via Twitter on Monday afternoon, hours after President Donald Trump baselessly accused him of perpetrating a hoax at Talladega.
“Your words and actions will always be held to a higher standard than others,” Wallace wrote. You have to be prepared for that. You don’t learn these things in school. You learn them from trials and tribulations, the ups and downs this crazy world provides. You will always have people testing you. Seeing if they can knock you off your pedestal. I encourage you to keep your head held high and walk proudly on the path you have chosen.
Right HERE too with you!! As well as the next generation who follows in my foot steps! Kings and Queens https://t.co/6rO5cex3ed Wallace has said in multiple interviews that he agrees with the findings that the noose — which was real — was not formed in a hate crime towards him.
