CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY FEBRUARY 21, 2019
HAVE YOU BEEN FOLLOWING THE JUSSIE SMOLLET STORY? HE’S THE ACTOR ON THE TV SHOW “ENTERPRISE” WHO CLAIMS TO HAVE BEEN ATTACKED LAST MONTH CHICAGO AT 2 AM BY TWO MEN WITH “MAKE AMERICA GREAT” CAPS, WHO SHOUTED RACIAL AND HOMOPHOBIC SLURS AND TIED A ROPE AROUND HIS NECK.
THE STORY QUICKLY FELL APART AS IT WAS REPORTED THE MEN WERE NIGERIANS SMOLLET HAD HIRED TO STAGE THE ENTIRE SCENARIO. CHICAGO POLICE WANT TO INTERVIEW SMOLLETT A SECOND TIME. SO FAR HE HAS NOT SHOWN UP FOR THE INTERVIEW. IF HE LIED, HE COULD GO TO JAIL.
WHAT IS INTERESTING IS THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO JUMPED TO SMOLLETT’S DEFENSE, INCLUDING SENATORS AND PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES KAMALA HARRIS AND CORY BOOKER. THAT’S BECAUSE IT FITS THE LEFT’S FALSE NARRATIVE THAT AMERICA IS A RACIST COUNTRY, FULL OF HATE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE DIFFERENT.
THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE LINE OF THE LEFT THAT RARELY HAS ANYTHING GOOD TO SAY ABOUT THE COUNTRY. IF SMOLLETT DID LIE, DON’T LOOK FOR ANY OF THOSE WHO STOOD BY HIM TO APOLOGIZE. AL SHARPTON NEVER HAS FOR THE TAWANA BRAWLEY INCIDENT. I’M CAL THOMAS.
