Jussie Smollett was found guilty of five counts of felonious disorderly misconduct in Chicago on Thursday. He was accused of creating a hate crime in January 2019. Democratic presidential hopefuls were quick to express sympathy for him, claiming that he was their victim.
Washington Post correspondent Dave Weigel pointed this out earlier Thursday. In advance of the verdict, “every major 2020 Dem, not Buttigieg, rushed to comment credulously on the Jussie Mollett hoax.”
Some examples were as follows:
Smollett was portrayed by the media as the victim in a hate crime committed by Chicago MAGA-hat-wearing Trump supporters. He happened to be walking by on one of the coldest nights ever recorded.
Smollett blamed Trump supporters for his crimes. His story was believed by the same media that promoted many anti-Trump hoaxes, including the Russia collusion hoax. This would be discredited upon investigation.
