Back, during a darker period of our nation’s history, it wasn’t unheard of for a white woman to falsely accuse a black man of raping her. Sometimes the lie was to cover up an affair. Sometimes it was a cry for attention. In either case, it’s pretty clear who the victim was in those circumstances, the innocent black man.

Oddly, when a progressive falsely accuses a Trump supporter of racism, sexism, homophobia, or any of the countless other epithets and false accusation that are reserved for conservatives, nobody can figure out who the victim is.

Jussie Smollett falsely accused white male Trump supporters of perpetrating a racist hate crime against a gay man. None it really happened, but that didn’t stop the progressive lynch mob from doing its job.

Pajamas Media has an excellent roundup of the politicians who rushed to attack white male Trump supporters based on nothing more than a hoax.

Here are a couple, but be sure to check them all out.

What happened today to @JussieSmollett must never be tolerated in this country. We must stand up and demand that we no longer give this hate safe harbor; that homophobia and racism have no place on our streets or in our hearts. We are with you, Jussie. https://t.co/o8ilPu68CM — Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) January 30, 2019

.@JussieSmollett is one of the kindest, most gentle human beings I know. I’m praying for his quick recovery. This was an attempted modern day lynching. No one should have to fear for their life because of their sexuality or color of their skin. We must confront this hate. — Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) January 29, 2019

LGBTQ people of color live at multiple intersections of oppression, too often facing violence compounded by both racism and homophobia. This isn't the America we want to live in. Our thoughts are with Jussie Smollett and all survivors. https://t.co/o9JG2z3VnG — ACLU (@ACLU) January 29, 2019

Now that we know it was all a lie, are any of the same people or organizations apologizing to Trump supporters for rushing to judgement against an easy target?

Nope. Not one word of regret for the fake hoax hung around trump supporters’ necks like a noose.

Smollett story shows thin line between news and social media

No it doesn’t. It shows the thin line between lying progressives and the propaganda machine of celebrities, politicians, and alleged journalists.

That, or you’re just intolerant bigots, willing to believe any negative rumor you hear about Trump supporters and conservatives.

REAL TALK: Chyle, IF, and I seriously mean IF Jussie Smollett lied, we will never hear the end of homophobes, hoteps, bigots and conspiracy theorists who are always using outlier incidents to discredit an entire race/class of people. Sigh. — Ernest Owens (@MrErnestOwens) February 15, 2019

Isn’t that nice? If Jussie lied, it’s bad because trump supporters are bigots. Amazing how Owens uses a fake incident to discredit an entire race/class of people. Even when Owens figured out that he’d been made a fool, he still couldn’t figure out what went wrong. He thinks the problem is celebrity when really it’s just good old fashioned progressive bigotry against anyone who’s different from them.

Jussie Smollett just became the 21st century Tawana Brawley. I'm so disgusted. I'm gonna still believe real victims, but fuck him. It's high time we begin to no longer center celebrities in our movement. — Ernest Owens (@MrErnestOwens) February 17, 2019

Yes, and you were all Al Sharpton this time around. It’s high time Progressives stop being reactionary bigots.
