First, the defense was put on by Kelly and his lawyers.
Second, in his own example picture, the text says nothing about race or “I’m-white-and-I-say-so” or redefining “racketeering”. As he's been told, the definition is that of the RICO act.
Really, I admire the sheer, brazen falsification Tariq uses in his grifts.
Another of Tariq's grifts is "suspected white supremacist(s)." No living person is ever identified as a definite white supremacist. That might get him sued for libel.
But the hordes of "suspected" supremacists need to be fought off, which he bravely does by not naming them.
I could see him used as an example in a marketing text-book. Or a musical "How to Succeed in Race Baiting Without Really Trying."
E.g., almost any criticism of him will get you blocked. Why argue, the suckers might wake up. As with any cult, isolate those you're scamming.

The reporters express surprise that #SenileJoe is siding with the #Dem#Left. Maybe they really ARE surprised. If they are, it just shows they were conned as thoroughly as most of the country was in 2020.
It’s now clear that Biden had a three part agenda: 1) Get elected #POTUS. 2) Pass a lot of very expensive government programs. 3) Go down in history as an #FDR or #LBJ, a president who permanently transformed American society.
#Joe’s problem was that 2) endangered 1). He needed to pretend to be “moderate” to get elected. So he ran a campaign that came down to ‘#OrangeManBad, #SenileManGood, and let’s not talk about what I’ll do in office.’ And it worked. He got the #DemocraticParty united behind him.
The entire program of the #Left is that people do not get held responsible for their actions. People who don't work get welfare, people who destroy their health with alcohol and drugs get medical care. In return, no obligations on the recipients.
Now we see it was always a #lie. The obligation was to obey the ruling class. Staying poor was what the bosses wanted the poor to do. Their misery provides the smoke screen for the rulers' real goal: exercising power because they like it.
Cutting people off from medical care because they ate the wrong things, used the wrong drugs, had the wrong kind of sex was evil, because it would remove the rulers' excuses for action. THOSE people have an absolute right to "health care," paid for by the productive.
Similarly, there are women who know they are women, and women who believe they are men, and they need the same kind of medical care, things like breast exams and cervical cancer screenings.
But Britain's #NHS has chosen to screw the situation up, by lying in the medical records.
The men who believe they are women have their records marked 'F'-for-female under sex. So they get reminders to have their non-existent cervices checked for cancer, while NOT having their very real prostrates checked. This makes them feel good, but kills some of them.
The claim that when a man feels "I am a woman" he literally IS a woman is flat out #insanity.
The fact that many people believe this shows their is something severely wrong with them, psychologically.
And the fact that this insane claim has conquered the #Progressive movement shows there is something wrong with Progressivism, philosophically.
#Progressives should have reacted to these claims with laughter, believing them to be an elaborate joke. When they realized the ideology was serious, they should have felt stunned surprised that anyone could believe the equivalent of people thinking they were Napoleon.
This is a great illustration of Surowiecki's contempt for those who disagree with him about the #vax. Hilariously, he is the author of THE WISDOM OF CROWDS, but has decided the #AntiVax crowd has no wisdom at all.
Let's examine his sneers, as he tells us what we ought to think.
We should be opposed to Monoclonal Antibody therapy, because it isn't FDA approved yet. Implicit in this is the idea that one can't evaluate the FDA or its decisions intelligently. We are just too stupid for that
(unlike other crowds, which are oh, so wise).
He claims MAB trials started just before those of the #vaccines. I turn to Wikipedia, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoclona…, and find that MABs were developed in 1975, and the developers won the 1984 Nobel Prize for Medicine that achievement.
Seven years ago, my late wife was experiencing severe abdominal discomfort, and we sat in the ER for hours until a bed was located. Turned out she had colon cancer, and needed emergency surgery. There is nothing unusual about such cases.
@eagle4congress I too have gone to the hospital in severe discomfort and waited hours to be admitted and diagnosed for treatment, and all before anyone ever heard of the #Covid virus.
Chris stated that people were being "turned away" at FL ERs, and was asked to provide the names of hospitals
He doesn't. Instead he provides one case where a child had to wait, then be transferred because the hospital's pediatric surgery cases weren't up to the challenge. There is no statement from the hospital system about their ERs turning people away.
