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"
"I’m 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.

A church organist was arrested in May 2017 after he was found responsible for spray-painting a swastika, an anti-gay slur and the words “Heil Trump” on his own church in November 2016. When the story first broke, media outlets tied the hoax to Trump’s election. “The offensive graffiti at St. David’s is among numerous incidents that have occurred in the wake of Trump’s Election Day win,” The Washington Post reported at the time.

Prankster Tricks Liberal Journalist Into Spreading Anti-Trump Hoax (Dec. 2016)
As tales of Trump-inspired “hate crimes” were spread far and wide by liberal journalists after Trump’s election, one online prankster decided to test just easy it was to fool journalists.

Despite no evidence backing up the claim, Harvard spread the fake story, emails the prankster shared with The Daily Caller showed.
Student Writes Anti-Muslim Graffiti On His Own Door (Feb. 2017)

Media outlets didn’t wait to find out who was behind a string of bomb threats targeting synagogues and Jewish schools before linking the threats to Trump.

Hoax at St. Olaf (May 2017)
Students at St. Olaf college in Minnesota staged protests and boycotted classes in May 2017 after racist notes targeting black students were found around campus, earning coverage in national media outlets like The Washington Post.

Fake Hate At Air Force Academy Goes Viral (Sept. 2017)
The Air Force Academy was thrown into turmoil in September 2017 when horrific racist notes were found at the academy’s preparatory school. “Go home n***er,” read one of the notes. The superintendent, Lt. Gen. Jay B. Silveria, went viral with an impassioned speech addressing the racist notes.

— U.S. Air Force (@usairforce) September 28, 2017
Two months later, authorities determined that one of the students targeted by the notes was also the person responsible for writing them.
K-State Fake Hate Crime (Nov. 2017)

Student Faked Racist Notes (Dec. 2018)

The Covington Catastrophe (Jan. 2019)
National media outlets pounced on a selectively edited video from the March for Life that showed Native American activist Nathan Phillips beating a drum in front of a boisterous group of boys from Covington Catholic High School.

Phillips originally told The Washington Post the students swarmed him while he was preparing to leave the Indigenous People’s 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 wasn’t 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 you’re 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 isn’t 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)
Anti-Semitic vandalism in New York City turned out to be the work of a Democratic activist, according to police. It wasn’t a hoax — the anti-Semitic vandalism was real — but the suspect wasn’t the right-winger some had assumed him to be. The man police arrested, based on surveillance footage, was 26-year-old James Polite, who had actually interned for City Hall on anti-hate issues.
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 Post’s 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 church’s 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..
StumbleBummer... I copped a pic of a pamphlet pimp, or pamphleteer as they were once called. These trolls took up streetwidth hawking their ideas often ending with a suggestion of meetings where they could learn more and contribute. (To add insult to injury half of the cheesers were newbies to America.)
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 can’t 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.
