I guess they are seeing the opportunity of jumping on the bandwagon and claiming that the big bad Trump supporters are all racists and all are out there waiting to pounce on the defenseless muslims. :rolleyes:
I hope they do the right thing and charge her with the felony option. With things the way they are today, and what could potentially happen to "young white men" if convicted of such a crime, she deserves to be charged appropriately.

Woman Made Up Tale of Anti-Muslim Attack by Men Shouting 'Trump': Sources

MANHATTAN — An 18-year-old Muslim college student who claimed three men screaming "Donald Trump!" attacked her on a Manhattan subway platform is being charged with filing a false report after admitting she made up the incident, sources told DNAinfo New York.
Yasmin Seweid, a Baruch College student, told police that she boarded a uptown No. 6 train at East 23rd St. on Dec. 1 and was called a "terrorist" by three drunken young white men.
She also claimed that when she moved to the other end of the train, one of the men followed her and tried to pull off her hajib before she fled.
But investigators who spent significant NYPD resources trying to verify her story were unable to find any witnesses to the incident or video that could corroborate her story, sources said.
Seweid finally recanted Tuesday, saying she misguidedly made up the tale to get attention because she was having issues with her family at home.
She was expected to be charged with filing a false report — which could range from a misdemeanor to a felony charges — late Wednesday afternoon, sources said.
A source explained that, given the amount of time detectives spent chasing the phony story, and how politically charged the allegation was, the police and prosecutors felt compelled to charge her, particularly since they said they had given her numerous opportunities to come clean earlier in the process. She repeatedly refused to tell the truth for weeks, they added.
