Like most of you, I've seen the reports about Jussie Smollett, and I'm sad, frustrated, and disappointed. pic.twitter.com/91OHOymShi

Notice what’s missing? Any apology for jumping the gun, any condemnation or recognition that he committed a crime and any acknowledgment of the Trump supporters who were his targets.
Via Fox News:
Sen. Kamala Harris, who once labeled the Jussie Smollet attack claim an “attempted modern day lynching,” spoke out on Thursday after Smollett was charged and arrested with disorderly conduct for allegedly filing a false police report.
The California lawmaker tweeted a statement expressing her sadness, frustration, and disappointment on the same day Smollett, who’s been released from jail, appeared before Cook County Judge John Fitzgerald Lyke Jr.
“When anyone makes false claims to police, it not only diverts resources away from serious investigations but it makes it more difficult for other victims of crime to come forward,” Harris wrote.
