How the Smollett story will play out
Media uncritically hypes story:
—“This proves MAGA is racist”
Story falls apart:
—“Need to wait for the facts”
—“It was a cry for help”
Grand Jury indicts him:
—“That’s only an allegation”
Jury convicts him:
—“That’s old news”

—Here are some other examples of racism see that means it could have been real
—The book and apology tour
—Redemption and his “second chance”
—You’re racist if you don’t like him now
