Another was that the anthrax scare powder didn’t fall on his baby, but that the baby was in the other room when he opened the letter. The one that was actually a lie was the infiltrated mosque story, but I think his response there was that it actually happened to a friend and not him, and the friend confirmed that. A lie for sure that it happened to him and the most egregious stretch, but hardly perpetuating stereotypes of Islamophobia that don’t exist. Previous Message Is it the same as perpetuating stereotypes of Islamophobia. Previous Message He basically pled no-contest to embellishing, but used the "all comics do it" defense. Which is true, but it doesn't apply quite as cleanly when you structure entire acts around your lived experience.
