Tucker sounds off on new Jussie Smollett developments

Nearly 3,000 people were shot to death in the city of Chicago last year: men, women, small children, sometimes alone, sometimes in groups, many hundreds of them died. None of those people received anything close to the attention that the media has lavished on a relatively minor assault alleged by the television actor Jesse Smollett, on the other hand, none of the 3,000 Chicago shootings were half as useful as a little story. His story had everything. The national media long ago abandoned the pretense of news gathering. Journalism is now explicitly a political job. to enforce cultural orthodoxies and punish enemies Jesse Smollett was the perfect vehicle for both.

Journalists pretended to be horrified when told what he said had happened to him, but secretly they were excited, there are many indications of a crime of Hate here they are looking for two suspects who were apparently wearing Make America Great Again hats, although that has yet to be officially confirmed, we don't know what happened to Jesse, but what we do know is that racism is alive and well. alive in this country, there is real evidence of people. those who have committed these crimes those who cite that the president has inspired them the fact that he allegedly said this is my country adds to the atmosphere of threat that African Americans in particular and people of color in general have felt since the arrival of the administration Trump and the media have really cast so much doubt on his story that I personally find it so offensive that a gay black man is attacked and suddenly becomes a victim of people's disbelief.

He said his attackers hurled racial and homophobic slurs at him this is America in 2019, this is America in 2019 for the national media, the sports story was the perfect metaphor for the Trump era, it was also pretty clearly total nonsense, some accounts began to unravel hours after a series of leaks from obviously skeptical Chicago. Some Police Department officers paired him with a network host they could trust to whitewash the hoax when he lasted 16 and a half minutes with Good Morning America's Robin Roberts. Robert surely knew there was ample evidence that SWAT was lying, but she chose to ignore that Roberts instead colluded with him, she nodded empathetically as Snow cried on camera, she has no meaningful follow-up questions, the two parted ways.

Like old friends, both Smollett and Roberts turned out to be talented actors, watch their performance on YouTube before. is deleted, you will never watch ABC news again, practically every word they speak is dishonest, so what he started by explaining that the men who attacked him were not robbers, they did not want money, they attacked him simply because of his identity as a gay black man . Democrats like Jesse Smollett are not allowed to live in Donald Trump's United States, that was the message from the attackers, "This is a magnetic country," they shouted, referring of course to Chicago, a city where 88% of the population voted against Donald.

Trump as a crime story didn't make much sense and when skeptics on the internet raised basic questions about his story Smollett attacked them as racist if he had said he was a Muslim or a Mexican or someone black I feel like the skeptics would have supported me a little . much, much more, much more and that says a lot about where we are in our country right now, the fact that we are afraid of the Mongols, of these people who are trying to separate us and it's just not right. What he just heard is an almost perfect inversion of the truth, as he himself could have said, who exactly is the mongrel of fear here that is dividing us and who exactly is the victim in all this, well, little claims that he He is the victim, he tells us that he represents the most despised. in unfashionable groups in America that's why fans doubt their history the rest of us it's not like this is true because we're forced to do it that's how dishonest our society has become we all have to lie all the time we know the rules we have no choice Meanwhile, our leaders immediately jump to the defense of this supposedly unpopular person, even before hearing the evidence, within hours, at least two presidential candidates had described what happened to Sublette and cited a attempted lynching, they assumed on faith that he must be telling the truth by definition.

He slandered anyone who doubted him, they called him a hero, this is the treatment that marginalized people receive, not just something that is not impotent, much less its power lies in pretending that it has no power, in fact Jesse Smollett and his promoters are the aggressors in this story. , they launched a calculated smear campaign against an entire group of people who have much less wealth and much less cultural influence than them if there is a bias crime here, they committed it well, he wouldn't be responsible for this, don't do it. I bet on it In 1987, Al Sharpton introduced a young woman named Tawana Brawley to the media.

Brawley had a terrible story to tell. She said she had been brutally raped by a group of racist white men and left in a garbage bag covered in feces. With racial slurs scrawled on her body, the Brawley case dominated national headlines for more than a year and bitterly divided New York City along ethnic lines. People hated each other for what Tawana Brawley said he happened to her, but after her it was all a lie. conducting hundreds of interviews a grand jury declared the entire story fraudulent none of it really happened Broly fled the state a judge ordered al Sharpton to pay damages for accusing innocent men of rape that should have been the end of Al Sharpton's career but the opposite was true before ascending to Juana's lie Brawly Sharpton was best known as a small-time con artist an FBI informant from Brooklyn a man who had once been James Brown's road manager after he perpetuated the hoax most destructive race in living memory Sharpton got a promotion became a world-famous civil rights leader ran for president became a political advisor to Barack Obama according to visitor records at the Sharpton was invited to Obama's White House more 80 times he had his own show on MSNBC, which he still has Sharpton never apologized or even acknowledged the damage he did to this country by lying about Tawana Brawley.

No one forced him to follow Al Sharpton's lesson. It was clear to everyone who saw it. There are no penalties for hate hoaxes. There are only rewards. It is not surprising that there are. There have been many more since the incident escalated dramatically after the 2016 election. The Muslim student in Louisiana who claims she was assaulted by racists wearing Trump hats. The Muslim woman in San Diego who alleged the same thing. An attack against Asians in Minnesota. An attack against homosexuals in California. racial attack in Delaware racist graffiti at the Air Force Academy anti-Semitic threats sent by phone to Jewish community centers are all false, and many more, the much publicized hate crime epidemic you have heard so much about is essentially made up the premise It's absurd.

The United States is not a hateful country, it is the most welcoming place in the world, which is why, even as our children learn from their teachers how intolerant it is, millions continue to arrive from Africa and Latin America in search of a better life here. , that's why we've welcomed more refugees and immigrants than anyone else in history, that's why we rescued a young Ilhan Omar from a refugee camp in Kenya, we're kind people, you see it in your own life, how many violent racists do you personally know? None is probably because there aren't any. many in the United States the left has to invent them by stoking racial hatred it guarantees continuity of power for the Democratic Party divided populations are easier to manipulate and govern there would be no Democratic coalition without racial animosity it is what keeps its voters united that is the The goal of identity politics is why the wound always reopens, it is why Al Sharpton remains a revered figure among Democratic officials, but the cost to the country has been high.

Ask the kids at Covington Catholic about the crime of holding old-fashioned political beliefs based on skin color, a group of completely innocent people. high school students nearly had their lives destroyed that didn't happen by accident the national media did it they made up a hate crime out of thin air the twitter mob that demanded those kids be expelled from school and marked for life his parents were threatened his classmates were harassed after two days a video appeared proving that none of it was real, the mob moved on, but what if an exculpatory video had not appeared?

The CNN panels would still scream for his blood. Sometimes you hear people wonder why the media never seemed to learn anything. In times like these, when they are exposed as corrupt and reckless and the answer to that question is very simple, it never occurs to them that they may be wrong or that they may have something to learn, the media sees itself as teachers , not as students. If you've ever tried to put a sleepy four-year-old in a snowsuit before school, you know how journalists feel about hearing. It's frustrating when children don't understand or obey, but you have to keep trying, that's how they feel.

Listen. is that that greasy CNN media reporter explains that Jesse Smollett's hoax is in no way reflective of the people who promoted it, maybe the questioning wasn't harsh enough on Good Morning America, so ultimately this isn't it's about the media or the politicians or activists or any of the people who might have been fooled it's just about me oh yeah, it's about Jesse it has nothing to do with any of us in the media who uncritically repeat his lies night after night for political effect, now it's Jesse's problem, that's Nancy Pelosi's new position, by the way, almost immediately after a Smollett story hit the media, House Speaker denounced the racist and homophobic attack quote: "We can all commit to ending this hate once and for all." Pelosi has since deleted that tweet which he did not make. apologized for her own role in perpetuating that hate Pelosi should apologize and not simply because it is polite hate hoaxes make ethnic groups fear and distrust each other that is a dangerous thing in a country that is becoming more diverse every day, the only way to prevent The future Tawana Brawley x' and Millette justice is for the people who have promoted these lies to recognize what they have done, apologize for doing it and commit to stop judging others based on racial stereotypes.

We need to resolve the Justice Millette story. We can't just move on to the next thing and act like it never happened, what his plan is, so he allowed himself to make that point at the end of his interview on Good Morning America. I still want to believe everything that has happened. that there is something called justice that we have in common something called justice that we all want to believe in
