Oh, NOW Robin Roberts Thinks There Were ‘a Lot of Red Flags’ in Smollett Case?
Media Research Center ^ | February 25, 2019 | Scott Whitlock

Good Morning America co-host Robin Roberts, the woman who refused to say the word “alleged” when interviewing Jussie Smollett, has suddenly discovered that there were “a lot of red flags” in the hate crimes case, now widely dismissed as a hoax. Roberts got a do-over on Monday as she interviewed Chicago’s superintendent of police, Eddie Johnson.

At times, Roberts seemed tougher on Johnson than Smollett, demanding details and offering follow-ups. But first, the host tried to rewrite history and pretend she saw problems from the start: “Even though you were saying early on that there was no reason not to believe his story, there were a lot of red flags that a lot of people saw and you all had questions.”

She’s like most of the other purveyors of fake, manufactured news; she WANTED it to be true, so kept it alive as long as possible.

Just admit Robin you swallowed the story hook, line, and sinker.”””

AMEN

Roberts is homosexual

Jussie is Homosexual

Roberts is black

Jussie is black.

NO BIAS THERE !!!!!!!

She had a segment in each of the 4 half hours of that day, and the total time was excessive.

She needs to apologize to GMA viewers.

I have been a viewer of GMA for years.....

However—I am to the point where I sometimes think I am watching a version of Entertainment Tonight on BET network.

The only time they wander away from those items is when they are hammering Trump.

Jussie is a phony & a LIAR.

Can’t be.

He wrote on the check it was for weight training

That’s fool proof evidence he was innocent.

Or at least it was in his head.”””

I have been doing accounting & bookkeeping since I was 17 & turned 79 in November.

I an tell you all that I have seen many a ‘memo notation’ on a check that wasn’t the truth.

Kamala Harris is also NOT ELIGIBLE.

NEITHER of her parents were USA citizens when she was born.

"Questionable sexual identity should be the first red flag going forward. I’d like to know how many of the known hoaxes came from people from that community."
Start counting: http://fakehatecrimes.org/

Unfortunately this site is up and down lately - probably being overloaded due to Smollet story or denial of service attacks - if you get there there are thousands of established hoaxes of one aggrieved group or another mostly intended to blame white men.

PS: I can ping the site but get an error trying go to the site - I may be being blocked by Spectrum - my ISP (internet) provider or Firefox - trying to load Opera without success?

Has no one spoke up yet since her attacks and “announcement”, or is “our” side still cowed into running from ‘Rat racist Frauds?

“Because now its “Safe” to go after the homo Trump hating liar..”

That’s it. Most of the news “reporting” and analysis is repetition of what’s already been said because that takes the least amount of work and is safest (”I’m just reporting what someone else said”). Rush does a lot of that but his analysis is worth hearing.

Robin Roberts came out as the second biggest fool in this entire debacle. Replay her ass-kissing interview of Smollett now. It doesn’t stand the test of time well. The more she opens her mouth and tries to re-write history, the more it reminds people of what a willing dupe she was for Smollett.

Exactly, she's damaged goods now, a fraud.

She should just admit that she WANTED it to be true in the worst way so that it could be used as a weapon against Trump and the right.

Robin and Jussie go way back, photos of them partying together. So she thought this would be some great “exclusive” interview, but she laid down and was complicit in the hoax.

There are a lot of red flags out there that show Robin Roberts to be a partisan hack.

She accomplished her task, which was to help remind her audience that whites and especially those that support Trump are RACIST and ANTI-GAY. She also knows that ‘credibility’ only matters to those who control her employment - in other words the people who are STILL ‘proud’ of what she did.

He’s a narcissist and a liar. Has lied to cops before.

Used his brother’s name in a DUI pullover.

Hell of a quiff.

She was so buttlicking to Smollett that it was painfully embarrassing. A story that was very close to impossible to believe, but she bought it because of the anti-gay narrative. Her interview sounds so pathetic today when we know EVERY WORD HE SAID WAS A LIE and she really shouldn’t even have a job in “journalism” after that. So she is trying to walk back her biased knob slobbering. Bet she hates that expression.
