After the FBI rejected the claim that a noose was found in NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace's garage at Talladega on Sunday, the racer is now doubling down on his claim that he's being harassed.
Last night Wallace told CNN's Don Lemon, "From the evidence that we have — that I have, it’s a straight-up noose."
Earlier in the day the FBI announced the pull rope was vaguely fashioned like a noose but video evidence shows it has been hanging in the garage since last October.
The rope in question is actually a pull-rope, styled in a manner that it might be used to open and close a garage door. Not coincidentally, it was found hanging in a garage.
Even still, Bubba Smollett denies the FBI report and he's now doubling down on the claim that he's a victim.
