Xlnt Question Re: Hasson & Smollett

Anyone asking if arrest of Christopher Hasson - U.S coast guard plotting carnage against Dems, left-leaning media & had arsenal in his home - set white men back the way they’re asking if Jussie’s arrest set Black gay men back?

Just curious 💅🏽

is Smollet. Way, way, way too much more coverage than it deserves.

Obviously a good diversion from Stone, Barr, Mueller, Trump.

Complaining about it is kind of like complaining about the days being too short in winter.

Or, maybe like complaining about Daylight Savings Time. Because, yeah, in theory that can eventually be changed, if enough of us try hard enough. But it ain't a short putt.

Meanwhile, I think it is fair to say that if Smollett is guilty of this hoax as appears, he deserves all the shaming he's going to get. We'd all be better off if the media time were spent on other things. But he brought this on his own ass.
