Left-Leaning ESPN Facing Backlash for Tweet Claiming Noose Was Discovered in NASCAR Driver Bubba Wallace's Garage Last Year

ESPN is facing backlash for a tweet posted Tuesday claiming that a noose was discovered in NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace’s garage last year, despite the findings of the FBI concluding that the rope was in fact a garage door pull.
The tweet included a video previewing a documentary, “Fistful of Steel,” made by the network about the controversial incident. The preview fails to mention that NASCAR released a statement following an investigation by the feds determining that the “noose” was actually no such thing.
“The FBI report concludes, and photographic evidence confirms, that the garage door pull rope fashioned like a noose had been positioned there since as early as last fall. This was obviously well before the 43 team’s arrival and garage assignment,” reads a statement from NASCAR, that ESPN has on its website.
