The SPLC collected reports from news articles, social media, and direct submissions via our #ReportHate intake page. The SPLC made every effort to verify each report, but many included in the count remain anecdotal. …

The Center claims 1,094 so-called “bias-related harassment and intimidation” incidents have taken place since Trump’s election.

But a funny thing happened on the way to the left-wing echo chamber (ie. CNN studios): one-by-one, many of the reported incidents were proved to be hoaxes.
