Yesterday, gay black actor Jussie Smollett was convicted on several charges related to the hate crime hoax he perpetrated. Def-Con News told you about a Kamala Harris tweet in support of that fake hate crime but it turns out there’s a bunch more democrats with badly aged Smollett tweets.
From the git go, Jussie’s Smollett’s story about being attacked by racist homophobic Trump supporters smelled like bullshit, but the democratic party had MAGA clothespins on their noses and bought it because it fit their narrative.
Check these out:
The racist and homophobic attack on Jussie Smollett is a horrific instance of the surging hostility toward minorities around the country. We must come together to eradicate all forms of bigotry and violence. https://t.co/2accVEJrCG

Do we still have to come together to eradicate bigotry and violence even if it’s a hoax designed to blame white conservative men?
The vicious attack on actor Jussie Smollett was an attempted modern-day lynching. I’m glad he’s safe.
To those in Congress who don’t feel the urgency to pass our Anti-Lynching bill designating lynching as a federal hate crime– I urge you to pay attention. https://t.co/EwXFxl5f2m

How about an anti-hate crime hoax law instead?
What happened to Jussie Smollett is vile and tragic; thankfully, he will recover. But hate crimes like this are happening more frequently, egged on by careless hate-filled rhetoric. We start reducing these crimes by rejecting the speech – neither can ever be accepted as normal.

We also shouldn’t accept Members of the House Intelligence committee banging Chinese spies.
Jussie is my friend – a very talented & beautiful human being. It is so hurtful that homophobic haters would dare hurt someone so loving and giving. I’m dedicated to finding the culprits and bringing them to justice. Jussie did not deserve to be harmed by anyone!

He paid to be harmed by others so presumably he did deserve it. Also, nice job of Maxine finding the culprits and bringing them to justice.
AOC had a tweet up for Jussie but deleted it in the past few hours:
But it is someone’s job to water down and sugar-coat the rise of hate crime hoaxes and her name is AOC.
Joe Biden did not delete this tweet, probably because he doesn’t remember posting it:
What happened today to @JussieSmollett must never be tolerated in this country. We must stand up and demand that we no longer give this hate safe harbor; that homophobia and racism have no place on our streets or in our hearts. We are with you, Jussie. https://t.co/o8ilPu68CM

Joe has moved on from Jussie and is with Brandon now.
And finally, Al Sharpton sort of got his wish with this one:
The reported hate attack on my friend and brother, actor Jussie Smollett is despicable and outrageous. The guilty must face the maximum.
— Reverend Al Sharpton (@TheRevAl) January 29, 2019
Smollett hasn’t been sentenced yet but hopefully he gets the maximum to appease race-hustling Reverend Al.
All of these tweets show how democrats weaponize, politicize, and racialize every issue. They are wrong about everything, but never miss a chance to exploit bullshit to advance their agenda.
