Queens Council Member Tiffany Cabán caused a stir on social media this week, when she shared a post claiming that “stores are lying about shoplifting” to skirt blame for declining revenues.
The original post that Cabán re-shared on her Instagram account came from the nonprofit educational newsroom More Perfect Union, which claimed that “corporations are trying to pass the blame for lower profit margins to everyone but themselves” and are “fabricating a crime wave.”
