The media LOVES LOVES LOVES to stir up racial hatred. It is their milk and honey, their French wine, their brie and baguette, and their chocolate mousse. Destroying the life of an innocent person, labeling them a racist hatemongering White supremacist is like a Prime Rib dinner with all the fixings, and if you get the person fired it’s time to pop the champagne.

Such a story broke onto the internet earlier in the week, as a pregnant nurse coming off a 12-hour shift rented a bike and was accosted by 5 large black men who claimed that she was stealing a bike that they had paid for.

Watching that video were are supposed to assume that this nurse was the aggressor, and that is the take that everybody pushed on the Internet and then in the MSM.

Shockingly, that was false. Who could have guessed?

Somebody filmed the interaction starting halfway through, portraying her defense of herself as a racist attack on these 5 helpless thugs. She was vilified, doxxed, and suspended from her job. For renting a bike. For instance, this “journalist” with 40,000 followers was just one of many going after her like a lynch mob, including advertising the fact that the poor nurse’s home address was online.

It turns out, though, after the internet and MSM lynch mob came after her and slandered her, scaring this pregnant lady to death, she actually has the proof that they are a bunch of hideous, nasty liars.

She literally has the receipts.

The lawyer for a Manhattan hospital worker accused of taking a Citi Bike from a young black man — who claimed that he paid for the two-wheeler — provided receipts that he says show she was the one who purchased the ride at the center of the viral incident.

The Bellevue Hospital employee — who was branded a “Karen” on social media afterward — rented the bike first, lawyer Justin Marino said in a statement to The Post Wednesday.

He also provided two Citi Bike receipts from May 12, which were timestamped just minutes apart.

The first receipt reviewed by The Post shows the bike being taken out before it was re-locked one minute later, which Marino said is the bike seen in the video.

The second receipt shows another bike being taken out a minute later from the same docking station and was the bike Marino said his client used to get home after being “heckled and pressured to find a new bike” by the group.

The hospital employee, who Marino says is a six-months-pregnant physician assistant, was placed on leave by NYC Health + Hospitals this week after her heated encounter with the men emerged online Saturday and has been viewed tens of millions of times.

Now imagine, for a moment, the scene we were supposed to accept. A woman, tiny and six months pregnant, leaves her nursing shift at a hospital and needs a bike. She proceeds to steal a bike from 5 sturdy young men about twice her size, putting her in conflict with about 10x of the muscle power she possesses.

Yep, that seems plausible. Likely even. Because, after all, she is White. White people are like that, with their privilege and all. Especially White women who weaponize their White tears in their White Supremacist ways.

It is unheard of for gangs of young black men to terrorize anyone, and certainly, it is inconceivable that their story might be a bit…off. After all, we have it on good authority that not only is Chicago MAGA country, with gangs of roving White Supremacists carrying nooses and bleach, but New York too is a hotbed of such people.

The media, of course, never for a moment thought about having a bit of skepticism about the story and checking it out. Doing so would be very inconvenient for pushing a narrative in which they are deeply invested.

And seriously, what matters if the nurse in question loses her livelihood, her friends, her safety, and her reputation?

She can fall back on using her White tears. That privilege will save her.
