House Speaker Nancy Pelosi deleted her original tweet sympathetic for “Empire” actor and singer Jussie Smollett amid reports that Smollett may have staged the alleged January 29 attack against himself.
Smollett claimed to law enforcement he went to a local Chicago Subway eatery at 2 a.m., and he was physically assaulted by two men in ski masks who poured a bleach-like substance on him and tied a rope around his neck like a noose.

Others have yet to retract their original statements or delete their original tweets, including California Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris and New Jersey Democratic Sen. Corey Booker. Both are running for the Democratic nomination for president.
Booker was asked about the recent developments in the case and would only say he is waiting for more information before he makes any further statements about the matter.
...
According to ABC News, two Nigerian brothers, initially arrested by Chicago Police in connection to the assault against Smollett were later released after telling law enforcement that Smollett paid them to stage the attack.
One of the brothers is Smollett’s personal trainer, according to a statement to ABC News from Smollett’s attorneys. They had decided to cooperate after investigators revealed that they had evidence the brothers had bought the rope that was put around Smollet’s neck at a local hardware store.

So an actor creates a staged event which demonstrates what the Left believes is true (despite the fact it is untrue) to push their agenda.
As we know so well, to the Left, agenda comes first and last.
The truth? Who gives a shiite about the truth.
We are in an extreme cold civil war. Expecting the left to ‘betray’ anyone from their side isn’t happening. You’ll find no objectivity in this climate. They’re playing for keeps, to win it all.... we should too.
Just deletes the post. She should have said people should not make snap judgments until all the evidence is in.
Maybe Booker should ask “T-bone” what he thinks or maybe he should as the big white rabbet that only he can see.
Leftists are a criminal class who are using information warfare and lies to ‘try’ to keep the people submissive and in control.
For now, we are able to smoke these lies out. What happens when we can no longer smoke them out?

Leftists never admit they’re wrong.
They just change the subject.
California should stop electing loony toons like pelosi.
“There’s so little hate in America, a famous, openly gay black man had to fund his own hate crime using two other black guys.”

But that would mean she might be an adult.
Reality (like jobs in Long Island City, NY) is inconvenient, collateral damage if it conflicts with the Left's ideas (i.e., agenda).
It is better that everyone be poor than have a society in which some folks are richer than others but everyone is doing well.
The Left in America has adopted the principles so clearly explained by Booker T Washington when he said the following:
“There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”The same now applies to a class of people in America (of any color or race). The Left would rather make a business of the troubles, wrongs, and hardships of Americans rather than help them move ahead.
But not because they actually care.
Because there is money in it.
Eleanor Norton, Maxine Waters.... et al Professional Negros. They are black for a living
This is a cold civil war,
True,
Unfortunately there is no ‘we’ except for those like us posting anonymously, the so-called conservative Republicans elected to the House and the Senate dont actually exist, they are as troubled by President Trump undoing the NWO as the unhinged lawless left,
They are at best cowed at at worst corrupt Quislings,
These people should know by now that deleting a tweet is useless.
You may be right about playing for keeps. But that would mean lowering ourselves to their level. Someone has to retain virtue in this country for a decent society to survive. Believe me, I’d love nothing better than to crush these leftists like a bug but to lose our principles is not worth it.
We start smokin the liars?
Yep. They just change the subject, pretend it never happened, and don’t learn from it.
Happens with Communism.
Happens with Socialism.
Happens with warfare.
Happens with Racism (In this and nearly all kinds of racism, their own brand)
It is why Rush Limbaugh branded their media allies as “The Drive By Media”, because it fits. They throw everything against the wall to see what sticks, never mind who gets damaged, or what racial group is damaged, if it doesn’t suit their needs, they just pick and move on to sling again.
Excellent definition of today's reality!
I’m still waiting for the “even though it didn’t happen it’s still true” crap to start spewing from the SJWs. My question fow SJWS is, if crap comes out both ends, where does the food go in?
