CNN commentator Hilary Rosen slammed a student in a now-deleted tweet for wearing a bacon outfit to a basketball game. She claimed it was a purposefully anti-Semitic act because Georgetown University was playing Syracuse University, a school with a large population of Jewish students.

“Look at the guy in the ‘bacon suit,’” Rosen tweeted Saturday alongside a photo of Bakan at the game. “This is a Georgetown #Hoyas fans anti-Semitic smear to the Syracuse team.”

Rosen failed to realize that the man in question wears the bacon suit often because his name is Michael Bakan, which is pronounced just like bacon.

"Bacon Man" would like to thank my friends @OrozcoNicolo @realHunterEstes & @_harrisonnugent for their gracious support. Also, S/O to @ghenigma for always taking the best snaps. Bacon Man preaches love... Now on to the books for finals. Peace pic.twitter.com/sNJRERbThy — Michael Bakan (@bakanator33) December 17, 2017



She didn’t stop there, however. After Syracuse won, she tweeted, “Hey bacon-man. #Syracuse for the win. Bigots lose. Bye #Hoyas #Cuse.”

Bakan took to social media to set the record straight.

“Hey, it’s ‘bacon man.’ It’s actually Mr. Bakan — pronounced ‘bacon.’ Just a fun costume,” Bakan tweeted at Rosen.

Eventually, Rosen deleted her tweets and blamed the whole ordeal on “bad info.” Of course, she probably should have blamed the whole thing on jumping to conclusions and a victim mentality.

This is a perfect example of how ridiculous the progressive left’s outrage culture has become. Instead of seeing a young man in a bacon costume and thinking “how silly,” a woman conjured up an entire false attack on nonexistent victims simply because bacon and Jews were in the same vicinity. Quite frankly, if Rosen wants a little politics in her sporting events, she should go to an NFL game and leave poor college students alone.
