Because they want people to believe the white MAGA hatted oppressor lie. They all LOUDLY promoted the Smollett hoax and quietly recanted, if at all. They want division in America.
Chicago temp that night was -18. No one would be on the street at 2:00 AM in a cap. Smollett would not be walking to get a sandwich. This story never made sense to those with sense. Yet the ignorant or evil Democrat media believed and pushed this obvious hoax.
Incidentally, why was the story of the “attack” on the news photographer at theTrump rally in El Paso dropped so quickly? The “attacker” was probably a Beto supporter or a Soros-paid shill. The story was dropped and “no charges were filed.” That would not have happened if it was a Trump supporter.
