Well, one poster said it was no surprise because Chicago is so racist.

Uh, yeah....but not quite the way she thinks.

Obviously the answer isn't to disbelieve claims, but to carefully look (and wait) for the facts to come out and not get swept up in ideological hype.
those stories did not age well

Reprehensible

Cory Booker was even worse than Harris. Race Huckster.

And you can bet not a single one of them will retract any of the "conclusions" they drew. They will simply hide and delete them.

-Then the real story comes out where he made it up and his helpers were black Nigerian men, now it's like -- Hello CNN/ABC/MSNBC are you going to run with the udated story? [only echoes come back] Hellooo, hey liberal media where are you guys? I thought you were color blind and just wanted the real story....hello? [only echoes are heard].

I love the way this is all going to turn out by the time it's over. Kamala Harris and "Spartacus" Booker will both look like the self-serving idiots they are, the Nigerians will be deported after getting out of prison, and Smollett will be lucky to get gigs on the Holiday Inn circuit. Lots of good will come of this.

I would love nothing more than to watch Don "Modern Day Lynching" Lemon have to report the TRUTH on CNN.

That would be glorious.

Now that we discover he staged the attack, this is so funny on so many levels.
