Comedians Finally Decide It's Safe to Satirize Jussie Smollett
Newsbusters ^ | February 23, 2019 | P.J. Gladnick

It is now safe. Did you hear that, Saturday Night Live? It is now safe to satirize Jussie Smollett.

After weeks of fearing to tread into this area of comedy due to not wanting to challenge the official line that Jussie Smollett was the victim of a hate crime perpetrated by MAGA hat types, despite a lot of evidence that this was actually a hoax, the comedy floodgates seemed to have finally opened this week. On Friday night the Daily Show presented an hilarious skit brutally mocking Smollett in the form of a Lifetime movie parody.

Funny skit and it has be Smollett's WORST nightmare. He wanted sympathy as a victim due to his hate hoax but now he is being mocked with brutal (but well-deserved) laughter. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Not entirely. The Charles Blow’s of the world are still attempting to circle the wagons around the idea that ridiculing Smollett is giving aid and comfort to racists and that you are a horrible person if you didn’t buy Smollett’s story lock-stock-barrel.

To be comedians, they'd actually have to be funny.

What you said.
What? After Stelter Defends Media, Blow Admits Smollett Could Be an 'Insane' 'Psychopath' | Media Research Center...NewsBusters | 2/18/19 | Curtis Houck | Posted on 02/18/2019 4:32:21 PM PST by hole_n_one [No he doesn't] -- Well listen, if Jussie has done what the Chicago Police say he has done, it's not just that he's an actor, Brian. This is an insane person. This is -- this is a psychopath, like, and -- and there's nothing in his history that suggests that he's a psychopath... because we need to understand what's the motive because nothing -- I've met him one time. He was the sweetest -- it was just in passing at Essence Fest and I was with a girl I went to college with -- she's a big fan and he -- she had to have a picture. He was the most gracious person and I think that that's the kind of feeling that people have about him. So if you did this, we need to know -- like, are you crazy? Like, are you -- did you like literally lose it because nothing is adding up about why he would do this?

They will “mock” it in a way that distances Smollett and the hoax from the totality of the democrat leftist establishment, as if it were an isolated event by a sad sack.

Of course, you have to believe him and lock up another couple Nigerians into prison...

Huh, yeah, guess we should put this in the Dan Rather file... Fake, but accurate.

I think we are all supposed to feel saddened and tormented about this and that we are terrible horrible, horrible and terrible people if we ridicule Smollett.

That is a brutal skit! Thanks for posting.

Amazing they threw that together in no time at all, right down to the Nigerian trainers in the gym.

Sadly for their mental health (and our country) Lefties have the sense of humor of cat pee. In fact, the more I think of it, less than cat pee because it is clear that my cat had a sense of humor.

I hope he succeeds where his fake hate-crime failed.

Thanks for posting this. It’s been a while since I saw humor that was actually humorous.

They are turning this into a joke in order to obscure the seriousness of it. Had there been actual video of the “attack” it would still be shown in an endless loop and pundants would be rending their garments in anguish over the horror. There would be riots. There could have been innocent whites imprisoned to placate a mob. This was shaping up to be a big deal and now the want to wash it away by joking about it. No, this needs to be taken seriously. Don’t let them off the hook.
