Piers Morgan talks Smollett: 'The only thing that was lynched was the truth'
Fox News ^ | February 21 2019 | Victor Garcia

Posted on 02/21/2019 11:09:14 PM PST by knighthawk

Former CNN host and current DailyMail.com editor at large Piers Morgan weighed in on the Jussie Smollett case while appearing Thursday on “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” attributing what's happened to "Trump derangement syndrome" and "victimhood culture."

“Well it was the perfect storm, wasn’t it?” Morgan told Carlson. “This is where the ‘victimhood culture’ that you so brilliantly articulated there meets Trump derangement syndrome, this disease which has afflicted so many particularly liberal celebrities.”

When the supply of racist, bigoted, homophobic, Trump supporting rednecks is between slim and none, you’ve gotta make your own.

Holy cow, Piers is actually making sense about something!

These truly must be the end times.

How long until DNC players are implicated in green-lighting the staged event? This had command and control. Texts, emails, phone records, and financing should prove to be interesting. This moron is scripted in every aspect of his persona. Think about it.

His legal counsel is there to control the damage which could implicate DNC operatives. Deals are being struck. Look for another Seth Rich bike rack outside DNC HQ in Smolletts name.

Excellent deduction.

If Smollett somehow survives this, he'll likely become even scarcer than Monica Lewinsky.

I'll bet at least a few have already been implicated behind closed doors. The Chicago PD seems to have quite the bombshell on their hands.

Gwenn Moore’s boys fit this con. Same ones who slashed all the tires at the Republican National Convention. They play in Milwaukee, Chicago, and Gary.

But will they drop it?

They weren’t too helpful in 2016.

I often find Piers' comments to be better than media-average, as long as he stays away from the topic of firearms.

I agree Smollett is a moron but if someone else wrote the script for this whoever paid for it should get their money back.

The errors in this play are glaring and obvious.

A racist does not use a Windsor knot for a noose. Anyone who escapes a hanging does not where the rope home, nor does he hang on to his tuna sandwich while he is running a way.

In my opinion Smollett and his friend came up with this plan on the fly while high on something. I don’t think any person of average intelligence could come up with this while sober. Not to mention I doubt that they would consider the reward worth the risk.

When something like this happens I usually think somewhere in the planning someone said pass me another beer or give me another hit on that.

And the racist, bigots at FOX put the little b*tch back to work at FOX after his felon ass was released on bond. In your face, America. I’m completely done with FOX. The whole damn bunch of those anti-American, racist bastards.

“Not to mention I doubt that they would consider the reward worth the risk.”

I would not disagree with that. Except to say that someone along the way assured Smollett that he would get away with it. As appears to be the case so far.

I would not doubt that someone told Smollett that he would get away with it. It has been my experience that Leftist seem to believe that the police as a general rule are stupid.

It is also my experience that people smoking dope have an inflated opinion of how smart they are. Also true of Leftist in general.

Piers Morgan is a virtue signaling limey.

That aligns with my impressions of him as well.

Not sure I agree with that statement unless all involved were double-digit morons like JS.

Some of the more moronic components:
- his story implicated two white men but he hired two blacks for the job. Maybe JS is color-blind ...

- claimed the attackers wore MAGA caps but while a red cap was found, it wasn’t a MAGA logo meaning that they were too cheap to buy the correct props for the event.

- JS paid the guys with a check! Who pays a hit man with a traceable financial instrument?

Naw, this whole event has all the trappings of the intelligence and real-life incompetence of the acting community.

I read a similar comment elsewhere: This is what happens when demand for racism exceeds supply.

BTW, didn’t the manager claim he was on the phone with Pu...I mean, Jussie during the attack? Doesn’t that make him complicit by default?

N-i-c-e deconstruction of the criminals who perpetrated the hoax.

Smolletts ultimate stupidity.......paying off his partners in crime with his personal check.
