Full Headline:

"ABC's Roberts Won't Call Smollett Story 'Alleged,' Gushes, 'If Attackers Are Never Found, How Will You Be Able to Heal?'"

ABC previewed their exclusive interview with actor Jussie Smollett on Thursday, his first interview since the alleged hate crime he recounted to Chicago police two weeks ago. While host Robin Roberts did ask the actor about the controversial aspects of his story on Good Morning America, she did not refer to the attack as “alleged” even once. Instead, she asked him to teach us all what we could “learn” from the alleged experience.

During the first clips of the full upcoming Nightline interview GMA previewed, Roberts focused on Smollett’s story, asking him to share again what happened.The actor clearly seemed to struggle with his answers in just relaying his story. His demeanor changed dramatically in the second half of the interview, after Roberts started treating him as if he were a martyr, with fawning questions like:

Okay. I couldn't help myself what with it being valenTIMES day and all. What's a gay encounter story of 'bdsm' without this assclown? I mean this comedycentral show gets ridiculouser and ridiculouser daily. And the charade continues. I hear he/she/them/they are getting 'pithed' if you don't believe.

If you can’t trust the word of a gay Hollywood celebrity, who can you trust?

If he won’t say alleged ....

Let’s call all MSM “journalists” alleged journalists.
If questioned, it was punishment for all of them for the crime committed by Roberts.

They all know he’s lying, but he’s a fellow lefty. A hookup or drug deal gone bad! It’s the details of it he doesn’t want known. The producers of Empire and the detectives from Chicago PD would not be pleased with the truth. Smollett should take a lie detector test. We know he won’t, but watching him squirm if he was asked to take one would be priceless!

Getting it all wrong(creating narrative) with the Covington students to the point of getting sued really made an impression, I see.

What I “learned” is these people are useless, worthless, pieces of shit, and I hope they die in a fire. Soon. Like, Today. Right Now.

There’s something about Robin Roberts that makes me doubt she can be objective about this. I can’t quite put my finger on it.....

ABC’s Roberts...

Cokie has been a bitter old leftist hag ever since Trump came down that escalator. Before that she was just an old leftist hag.
