Leftards hate it when their lies dont work.

The whole leftard-baised mainstream media look like FOOLS for the way they spewed their LEFTIST PROPAGANDA FAKERY before the facts of this CRIMINAL FRAUD were soon exposed.

EVERY LEFTIST MOUTHPIECE and their ADHERENTS should have their faces pushing into their own excrementally lying ways.

Remember to Ask any leftard acquaintance you have whats going to be the NEXT LIE they fall for out of those leftist media apparatchiks/propagandists ...

Use the word ‘STUPID” and ‘MORON’ liberally on them.

” And their reactions prove how little racism there really is in America.”

Not really. Their reactions prove racism is alive and well, and that it is a major character flaw of the LEFT.

Because they feel that it justifies their own hatred.
They need their hatred validated, so anything that validates their hatred is “good” and “needed dialogue” in their minds.
When the action comes out to be fake, their world crumbles and their hatred is bare.
They can’t acknowledge their hatred, so they try to explain away the fraud.

The Left — white and black — is morally and psychologically impaired.

Because they are depraved and unrestrained.

The only ones who do the beating up are the leftists who become incensed when anybody dares to wear a MAGA hat. Not the other way around. Period.

That's why they use their best weapon, Fake News, against US!

Seems to me, the Enemedia does the same thing to all of us, about once a minute.

Nothing but Hate Hoaxers, the LOT of THEM!

Because they hate white people and want to see them hurt or killed.

An ego-driven actor, Smollett craves attention, He invents a world full of "microaggressions and institutional racism"
that feed his malignant narcissism. In Smollett's bizarro world of entertainment, CGI creates impossible activist heroes.
Fighting off an invisible bigotry, creating a hate crime was his way to emulate these faked-up heroes.

Smollet was a picture-perfect, fighting mad victim as he spoke to an unblinking Robin Roberts on ABC's GMA.

Smollett reinvented himself as an especially fierce kind of victim...a cool hero. “I fought the f**k back,” he told fellow-believer Roberts.

The self-important Smollett was weaned at the breast of radical black activism. His mother (Maxine Waters says she's
her friend) associated with the Black Panthers and Black radical Angela Davis. Smollett has identified proudly
with the radical black activist tradition. What better way to promote himself?

Because to them, ideology matters more than truth.

Here’s 12 establishment media commentators and journalists who fueled the Jussie Smollett flames with impassioned and uncritical reactions to the Empire actor’s imaginative account of his supposed run-in with Trump supporters in “MAGA country” Chicago.

1. Eugene Scott – Washington Post‘s The Fix reporter——“To many, the Smollett incident — and the political nature of the assault — is yet another reminder for many black gay Americans that this president’s vision of a ‘great America’ does not appear to include them,” wrote Eugene Scott for Washington Post‘s The Fix.

2. Don Lemon – CNN journalist-——CNN’s Don Lemon told Red Table Talk that he wasn’t shocked when he heard Smollett’s story, adding that he was concerned about the actor’s “well-being” in having to deal with being black, gay, and famous.

“One, he has to deal with discrimination as a black man,” said Lemon, “then, on top of that, he has to be gay — and then, fame — fame is not natural — When something happens to you and it’s controversial, everyone is coming for you, and so I knew everyone would be picking apart his story.”

3. Yamiche Alcindor – PBS NewsHour White House correspondent—— “We have to do better as a country. This is disgusting,” said PBS NewsHour White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor, in a tweet referring to the alleged attackers shouting “This is MAGA country,” which was then retweeted by CNN commentator Sally Kohn.

4. Joyce Vance – MSNBC contributor——“If someone commits this kind of act under your banner, you should have the decency to publicly condemn them and say it’s not what you stand for. But I doubt Trump will,” tweeted MSNBC contributor Joyce Vance in response to Alcindor.

5. Jamil Smith – Rolling Stone journalist-—“The brutal attack on him in Chicago appears to be yet another example not just of further moral decay, but of the brand of terrorism that still doesn’t seem to spark enough response by Americans,” tweeted Rolling Stone journalist Jamil Smith.

6. April Ryan – CNN analyst-——“This attack on @JussieSmollett is a hate crime and should be treated as such!” affirmed CNN’s April Ryan, in response to the NAACP’s Derrick Johnson, who claimed the actor had been a victim of a “racist, homophobic attack” and that “divisive, hateful rhetoric” is putting “lives at risk.”

7. Jemele Hill – The Atlantic journalist——“I’ve met @JussieSmollett a few times at social events and he emanates warmth and joy. I’m just disgusted and appalled that he has suffered the unimaginable,” tweeted an uncritical Jemele Hill.

8. Zerlina Maxwell – MSNBC analyst——“The media is broken. If they can’t call the attack on Jussie racist straight up then they need to find alternative employment,” argued the MSNBC analyst, scrutinizing any media that had been referring to the incident as an “apparent hate crime.”

“Apparent HATE CRIME?” continued Maxwell, “Sure bc that has a legal definition. But to be clear pouring bleach on a Black person while you are yelling about MAGA = RACIST”

9. Joy Reid – MSNBC correspondent——“Nooses never really disappeared as messages of a very specific kind of terror,” said MSNBC’s Joy Reid, “but every time they’re used, my God, it’s chilling. Praying for Jussie’s full recovery. And for us all.”

10. Karen Attiah – Washington Post editor-——“Regarding the heinous attack on @JussieSmollett, yet another reminder that Trump’s ascendance and the resulting climate of hate has meant that lives have been increasingly at stake since 2015. Smollett could have been killed by those thugs screaming MAGA. Let that sink in,” tweeted Washington Post editor Karen Attiah.

11. Amy Siskind – Huffington Post contributor——“Can we get anyone in the Trump orbit to condemn the 2 MAGA men who brutally attacked Jussie Smollett, a gay black man, and put his head in a noose while saying ‘This is MAGA country,’ so others don’t feel like your silence is legitimizing hate? How about you @realDonaldTrump?” tweeted Huffington Post contributor Amy Siskind.

“Confirmed. Trump needs to address this attack publicly and condemn it!” continued Siskind in another tweet, which included a Huffington Post article that did not confirm anything, other than the fact that Smollett had spoken to the police.

12. Brooke Baldwin – CNN journalist and news anchor——“Absolutely despicable,” said CNN’s Brooke Baldwin on CNN Newsroom, “and this is America in 2019.”

This of course is a NATIONAL REVIEW article. Shocking that the leftist Yahoo News would post a piece from a conservative source. I seriously doubt it appeared on any of their main pages, the ones most Yahoo email account holders see.

And again and again, we are finding these very light skinned blacks are the most radical and virulent.(Kaepernick, Obama, Lemon, etc. etc.)

There's some psychology there regarding both them and our society as well.
