Aspiring Dem lawmaker who claimed he was victim of hate speech is 'revealed to be four accounts that were trolling him'
A former Biden administration appointee and aspiring Texas lawmaker has been accused of running four fake social media accounts that were harassing him and his campaign.
Taral Patel, 30, was arrested in June and charged with online impersonation and a Class A misdemeanor after he allegedly staged racist attacks against himself in an attempt to gain sympathy.
The Democratic candidate for Fort Bend County commissioner is now accused of running several fake accounts - including one where he impersonated a real district judge, as reported by ABC 13.
Patel allegedly used images of real people to create the fake Facebook accounts, which he used to abuse himself online - possibly to gain the public's sympathy.
