Someone ought to send Jussie Smollett a gift and a thank you note. He's arguably done more for conservatives than anyone in recent memory.
Maybe a MAGA hat and Subway sandwich.
Smollett proved beyond any shadow of a doubt who really is biased, who really is racist and who really is full of sh*t. When it was first reported, virtue signalling liberals fell all over themselves expressing their outrage, facts be damned.
Kamala Harris threw her two cents into the incident at light speed:

Then asked about it as the hoax unraveled, she stutters and stammers "What Tweet?"
"I think the facts are unfolding, and I'm very concerned about obviously [inaudible]," she said.The facts she chose not to wait for before opining are "unfolding." In fairness, a load of liberals did the same.

After rushing to judgment , Booker then said he would "withhold judgment"
"Im gonna withhold until all the information actually comes out from on-the-record sources," the senator from New Jersey said after meeting with voters in Rochester, N.H. "We know in America that bigoted and biased attacks are on the rise in a serious way, and we actually even know in this country that since 9/11, the majority of the terrorist attacks on our soil have been right-wing terrorist attacks -- the majority of them white supremacist attacks."Brooke Baldwin of CNN (naturally) could barely contain her contempt for "America 2019" (at approximately 1:50):

A lot of liberal haters have gotten away with these attacks on conservative Americans.
And many people only remember the charge NOT the fact that it was debunked. There are liberals who think a Supreme Court Justice was running rape parties with young men lined up... we have to fight these haters at every step.

Phillips originally told The Washington Post the students swarmed him while he was preparing to leave the Indigenous Peoples March scheduled for the same day. Phillips originally said one student, who later identified himself as high school junior Nick Sandmann, blocked his path from leaving as he tried to do so. The extended video shows that wasnt the case: Phillips approached the high school boys during their cheers, not the other way around. Some of the people with Phillips were directing racially charged language at the students, not the other way around.
Phillips told a second variation of his story to the Detroit Free Press. Phillips claimed he was playing the role of peacemaker by getting between the students and four old black individuals, whom he claimed the students were attacking. They were in the process of attacking these four black individuals, Phillip tolds the Michigan paper. I was there and I was witnessing all of this As this kept on going on and escalating, it just got to a point where you do something or you walk away, you know? You see something that is wrong and youre faced with that choice of right or wrong.
These young men were beastly and these old black individuals was their prey, and I stood in between them and so they needed their pounds of flesh and they were looking at me for that, he added. Extended video shows that account also isnt accurate. The four individuals Phillips referenced were members of the Black Hebrew Israelites and they launched racist and anti-gay slurs at the high school students, not the other way around.

Bonus: Anti-Semitic Vandal Exposed As Democratic Activist (Nov. 2018)

Bonus II: Trump-Inspired Racist Blaze At Black Church Was Carried Out By Black Church-goer (Nov. 2016)
This hoax occurred one week before Trump was elected, but TheDCNF is including it as a bonus because it was so egregious. Leftist media outlets ran headlines like A Black Church Burned in the Name of Trump after a black church in Greenville, Mississippi, was set on fire and spray painted with the words Vote Trump. The Washington Posts original coverage of the incident read in part, Greenville Mayor Errick Simmons called the fire a hateful and cowardly act, sparked by the incendiary rhetoric of GOP nominee Donald Trump during his presidential campaign. But the church was set on fire by one of the churchs own congregants, who is black.

What a shame that your first priority is to score traffic for your cheesy blog.
I would have been Ok UNTIL the War and Peace 1000 page intro..
Funny how they didn’t need all the facts when Smollett made his accusations.
Haha, will our domestic enemies start claiming Trump paid them and gave them an inept script to make the leftists look bad?
If it can be proven that Kamala Harris had prior knowledge of this bogus “attack” her campaign is FINISHED..right after this “attack” she reintroduced her anti lynching legislation, a little too convenient if you ask me..could that have been the motive for this bogus story, to advance a bill
Any bum at a library computer can write a blog.
Yay bums! Be proud, O Bummy Blogleteers!
THE NEW MEDIA! WOOHOO!
These people have been staging fake “attacks by Trump supporters” on a monthly basis, it seems.
I’d like to see a compilation of these events from the past three years.
Kind of like the list above.
Good job, Peter.
I cant agree with the author. Had two random white guys been out that night they most likely would have been detained, and possibly arrested.
Anti lynching bill? What, does she think it’s 1880?
Two white guys in a Chicago neighborhood that's half black and half gay - wearing red MAGA hats - in the middle of the night carrying a noose and a bottle of bleach - might never have made it to the 'arrest' stage.
The Trump curse seems to be working very against criminals like this lying POS, this year.
As they say in baseball lingo, “Who is next in the batters box?!”
I don’t know.
The sad fact is, these fake hoaxes work. It plants yet another seed that Trump supporters are racist. Even if it’s a hoax, it doesn’t remove that.
It’s a death by a thousand cuts, if so many stories come out about Trump supporters, even if they’re totally made-up, it leaves people thinking, “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.” Having the stories come out as fake, doesn’t undo the damage.
