The full horror of Jussie Smollett’s botched plot starting to scare progs
By Thomas Lifson
The specter of a new “trial of the century†for Jussie Smollett, over what looks like his staging of a fake hate crime is scaring the leaders of the identity politics movement that dominates the Democratic Party. Two presidential candidates, Cory Booker and Smollett’s longstanding friend and associate Kamala Harris, immediately endorsed and exploited the burst of saturation coverage by the national media to hype the “anti-lynching law†they have been using to burnish their credentials with the victimologist constituency.
The nightmare would be a televised trial over the felonious filing of a false police report, and other possible charges. Yesterday, two famous progs started the campaign to treat Jussie as a victim of a psychiatric malady, and therefore properly given treatment, not a prison sentence of up to 3 years.
Rep. Eric Swalwell has taken time off from his incessant unproven claims of Trump collusion with Russia to express sympathy for poor Jussie, and “hope he gets the help he needs.â€
