Is nobody remotely interested in "WHY" Jussie Smollett faked a hate crime?
@VP @KamalaHarris & @CoryBooker—two senators with presidential aspirations and no legislative achievements to speak of, had just revealed an anti-lynching bill.
They cited his fake hate crime to push it.

I have a very hard time believing media wouldn't be exploring their personal relationship in more detail if it appeared a rightwing celebrity faked an event that coincidentally helped push Republican legislation sponsored by a friend.
I'm not a big believer in coincidence.

These tweets were very clearly coordinated. Look at the language they share and the time between them, both of which being right after the story made headlines in gateway liberal publications.
"Modern day lynching" seems brainstormed to me.

Let's explore it.

The last clear-cut case of lynching in the U.S. was Michael McDonald in 1981, nearly 4 decades ago. Before that, see the pic.
Sure, @VP @KamalaHarris and @CoryBooker could've hit the jackpot with the first lynching since 81.
But as a stats guy, it's more likely total bu!!$#!t.

For the record, nobody escaped justice for the lynching of Michael McDonald, which was a horrible and true display of racism.
Henry Francis Hays was convicted & executed in the electric chair. Rest were convicted save for Bennie Hays. Heart attack got him

But like Jussie Smollett's hate crime, the push for anti-lynching legislation came out of nowhere, not from some need to combat a growing or even existing problem in society.
Very much appears two senators with aspirations for higher office needed something on empty resumes.

It's clearly detailed in the source article, but should be noted here, too.
The record says Mack Charles Parker was lynched for the kidnap and rape of a white woman. The accusations were disputed, somewhat credibly in my opinion.
Sadly, we'll likely never know the truth.
