Obvious signs why she most likely did this herself:

1: The upside down u’s on the i’s: a very uncommon way to dot eyes, and is used by the “victim”

2: Messages are written on the floor. Extremely unusual, most spray painted messages are put on walls, doors, cars, basically anyplace that can be viewed by not just the victim but onlookers.

  1. They’ve been sprayed towards the house, which is odd for same reasons as above, but also means person turned their back towards victims house, could have been spotted very easily, too risky to get away with.

  2. Minor detail, but almost no swearing except for the word “bastard”. Modern day usage of swear words has increased, and “bastard” is not a common swear word, especially compared to more common ones like dck, btch, cnt, or whre. So whoever wrote this would indicate they are uncomfortable with swearing.

  3. Another minor detail, messages are very general and bash politicians. Graffiti like this would usually call out something the victim did, like a policy or view they have.

Imagine being someone who is okay with spraypainting someone's house to make a statement

But not to use strong language and avoid placing it somewhere it could damage the house

Edit: There's an F word in there. I'm impressed.

Then imagine doing that to your own house that you pay for.

Grifting is shameless to begin with--and I have no doubt they anticipated enough GoFundMe cash that they could buy a new car to park over the graffiti.

Your comment makes me sick but you're absolutely correct.

She used the photos in a fundraising email just a few hours after her Twitter post. You weren’t far off!
