AOC explained the left’s approach as well as anyone: It doesn’t matter if I’m “factually right” as long as I am “morally right”.
The Smollett attack will be a “fact” used in the 2020 election. Even if it didn’t happen, it represents so many other attacks on minorities that we “know” happen all the time (we “know” without evidence because we are “morally right”)
T-Bone isn’t a problem for Booker for the same reason. Even though he lied about T-Bone, he was “morally right”.
Dems may find a better term than “morally right”, but the fact is that “facts don’t matter” to them.
The Smollett attack will be a fact used in the 2020 election.
In fact, I think Trump will use it first.
I can hear Trump praising the police now, those wonderful wonderful police who do a good job of protecting us. Trump likes to give praise for doing the right thing. It won’t be an issue of gay rights.
