Senior Democrat Charged With Fake Racist Facebook Accused of Faking his Judge's Facebook | 3 July 2024 | A former Biden administration liaison and local Democratic candidate in Texas -- accused of creating a fake Facebook account to send hate mail to his own campaign and opponents -- is now under investigation for allegedly impersonating a judge. Taral Patel, who is running for Fort Bend County Commissioner, is already facing a felony charge of online impersonation for using another local man's image for his bogus "Antonio Scalywag" profile, which he used to send himself racist comments. Now authorities believe Patel launched a phony account for a local criminal court judge, Surendran Pattel, and could soon file more charges.
