As Twitchy told you earlier, CNN hall monitor Brian Stelter made an even bigger ass of himself than usual when he said that “we may never know what happened on the street that night in Chicago” when Jussie Smollett faked that hate crime against himself. After being called out on it, he doubled down:

Cool. Were you there that night? Smollett's camp says he was the victim of a hate crime. The police dispute that. There isn't video of the alleged attack. Thus, we may never know what really happened. — Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) March 26, 2019

The ratio suggests that plenty of people thought that Stelter was full of it. But Twitchy fave @redsteeze, giver that he is, was willing to play Stelter’s game:

If only there were video, that would clear the entire incident up. Good take @brianstelter pic.twitter.com/7Grsk18Cu9 — Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) March 26, 2019

Brilliant.

Stephen, you deserve a prize for this one. — Lisa 🙂 (@whtevr73) March 26, 2019

CNN should kick Stelter to the curb and give @redsteeze a show instead. Lord knows they could use the IQ points.

He thinks you're stupid. — Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) March 26, 2019

He knows his viewers, then — Peter Walker (@PeterWalker59) March 26, 2019
