Why Not, Gaslighting Works Even When There's Video...

 ...after all, we've all seen video of men in womanface and been told they are female, so they clearly think it works.

The track star seen hitting her opponent in the head with a baton in a shocking incident has remarkably claimed it was an accident.

And why not? These days, when caught out, just tell the most outrageous lie!  

The indoor track championships in Virginia were marred when Alaila Everett was seen striking Kaelen Tucker during the 4x200m relay event of the VSHL Class 3 State Indoor Championships. Tucker was running the second leg of the relay for Lynchburg's Brookville High School when she passed Everett of I.C. Norcom High School on the outside. Everett, who claimed she has since been on the receiving end of death threats and racial slurs, broke down in tears as she gave her version of events on the viral incident.

Ah, the modern way - when caught out and it’s impossible to deny what you did, make yourself the victim! 

She told Wavy.com: 'Nobody is going to believe me because I can admit from the video it does look purposeful. But I know my intentions and I would never hit anybody on purpose.' She added: 'After a couple times of hitting her, my baton got stuck behind her back like this, and it rolled up her back. I lost my balance and, when I pumped my arms again, she got hit.'

She dindu nuffin’, right?

She added: 'Everybody has feelings, so you’re physically hurt, but you’re not thinking of my mental (health).'

Well, no, we're thinking of the assault victim with the fractured skull. We did, after all, see it happen.
