Legacy Media Fail: ICE-Detained NC ‘Pastor’ Was an Illegal Alien With a Long Rap Sheet
This is why we can’t trust the legacy media. On Monday, NBC News, on its X account, posted the breathtaking story of a young man who was in the custody of Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) when he reportedly had a stroke. NBC described the stroke patient as a “North Carolina pastor” and ran with a photo of a smiling young man in a graduation gown and cap, along with an image of him with (presumably) his family.
This “North Carolina pastor” is Gabriel Johnson, a criminal illegal alien from Liberia whose lengthy rap sheet includes convictions for drug possession, fraud, mail theft, use of unauthorized access devices, false citizenship, and multiple traffic offenses, and charges for harassing communication and simple assault.
Johnson was taken to the hospital on July 30 with stroke-like symptoms and is currently being monitored for high blood pressure.
He is in stable condition.
Gee, sounds like a real stand up guy. Mainstream Media is notorious for jumping the gun. The shame of it is that some people will hold their first account of what happened as truth. The biggest example of this is ‘Fentanyl Floyd’ unfortunately overdosing under the knee of a White police officer, which got 22 years in prison for using a maneuver he was taught in the police academy. The first video clip looked pretty bad, like officer Chauvin did something wrong. It’s the first clip that the media put out there. This picture was burnt into the minds of the public so much so that when more and more video was being released showing how George Floyd caused his own death, it didn’t matter to a lot of people, all they remembered was the first clip that was released. Mainstream Media knows exactly what they’re doing by releasing lies, they know when the truth does come out, some won’t believe it.
