Where is the justice and mercy for the victims of Smollett’s actions – Trump supporters, actual hate crime victims, the police, the city of Chicago and all the people whose cases were denied the attention that he took away?
Via Daily Caller:
Civil rights activist Jesse Jackson released a statement Friday calling the decision to dismiss charges against “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett “the correct call, consistent with justice and mercy.”
The statement also praised “progressive prosecutor” Kim Foxx for recusing herself from the case, comparing her decision to that of former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who “also did the right thing when he recused himself from the investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential campaign.”
The former Democratic presidential candidate then called the “outrage” over the case “fake news.”
The outrage over the Jussie Smollett case is misplaced and out of proportion. It is being used from City Hall to the White House to deflect and distract from City Hall to the White House. It is fake news. The voices that are crying out the loudest seem to have only recently found their sense of righteous indignation.
