Woman Posts Pics Of Her ‘Slashed Tire’ On Twitter, But Someone Quickly Proves She’s Lying And It’s Hilarious

ADVERTISEMENT

Nothing ruins your day like finding slashed tires on your vehicle. And then finding out that it wasn’t actually slashed, it just gave up on life because you refused to change it. And then continuing to say it was cut anyway.

Conservative activist and chronic attention seeker Laura Loomer recently took to Twitter to inform the world that a dry, rotting car tire on her jeep had been savagely brutalized. That’s right. Someone was mad enough at her to leave a slashed tire, but not all of them – just one, multiple times. It’s a harrowing story, except for the fact that Laura’s bluff was humiliatingly busted by one car-savvy commentator, which unleashed a relentless stream of car memes, spin-off Twitter accounts for the fallen tire, and even a fake GoFundMe page that showed Laura supposedly raising cash for a new tire AND car (which, sadly, has now been taken down).

Poor Laura tried to recover her pride, but alas, she only fueled the fire. She may have failed at creating a publicity stunt this time, but at least the rest of us learned an important lesson from it all – don’t drive on tires from 2006. Just don’t do it. Find out what went down below, and tell us what you think about #tiregate in the comments!

One Twitter user, however, decided to look a little closer…

Michelin even stepped in to back it all up

Laura got a little cross that people were being mean to her tire, and decided to bite back

It was too late, though, as the floodgate of memes had already opened wide

Someone even created a GoFundMe page in loving memory of the unfortunate tire…

Which Laura was quick to politely refuse

Someone else went drop-dead savage and updated her Wikipedia page – read the last sentence

 

Trying to salvage the last of her pride, Laura posted documents that supposedly confirmed her ordeal…

But even that fell apart, as it appears to be her handwriting on both reports (oops!)

Probably a combination of things. Having been a James O'Keefe disciple, she is used to confrontations. But mostly she is like the overwhelming majority of women, and the majority of males: they have little, or no, mechanical aptitude at all. Anybody unable to see what caused the wear and tear on a tire like that, is also blind to curbs too. :D

She's not too bright (to put it up mildly) and she clearly doesn't have any sense of humor. But more people like her should exist nowadays in order to entertain all the bored pandas there. Because people who are not amusing or stupid-looking on purpose are the funniest of all! ;)
