Jussie "Juicy" Smollett was found guilty on 5 of 6 felony charges for faking a hate crime hoax to kick-start his career.
Not sure what was worse, Juicy's sloppy attempt at the hoax (pro-tip, there's camera's everywhere in Chicago, but Trump hats not so much), or the media's lavishly dumb support of Juicy. Notably, none of the media outlets or personalities who were on the Juicy train have issued apologies or retractions since the conviction.
Here is but a taste of the stupid spewed out by our betters as they revved up race baiting to a silliness level not seen since before the Civil War:
Joe Biden
"What happened to Jussie Smollett must never be tolerated in this country."
Kamala Harris
"This was an attempted modern day lynching."
Nancy Pelosi
"The racist, homophobic attack on Jussie Smollett is an affront to our humanity."
Elizabeth Warren
"The fight for equality isn't over—no one should have to live in fear of being beaten on the street because of who they are."
Bernie Sanders
"The racist and homophobic attack on Jussie Smollett is a horrific instance of the surging hostility toward minorities around the country."
Cory Booker
"The vicious attack on actor Jussie Smollett was an attempted modern-day lynching. I'm glad he's safe."
Kirsten Gillibrand
"This is a sickening and outrageous attack, and horribly, it's the latest of too many hate crimes against LGBTQ people and people of color. We are all responsible for condemning this behavior and every person who enables or normalizes it."
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
"There is no such thing as ‘racially charged.' This attack was not ‘possibly' homophobic. It was a racist and homophobic attack."
Eric Swalwell
"What happened to Jussie Smollett is vile and tragic; thankfully, he will recover. But hate crimes like this are happening more frequently, egged on by careless hate-filled rhetoric."
Al Sharpton
The notorious anti-Semite compared the Smollett incident to the 2015 mass shooting at the Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, S.C. "We can't make people love each other, but we can sure hold them accountable if they harm each other."
Nikole Hannah-Jones
Promoted tweet that asserted Smollett "was attacked because he is both black and gay at the same time."
Brian Stelter
"We may never know what really happened."
"What happened to Jussie Smollett must never be tolerated in this country."
Kamala Harris
"This was an attempted modern day lynching."
Nancy Pelosi
"The racist, homophobic attack on Jussie Smollett is an affront to our humanity."
Elizabeth Warren
"The fight for equality isn't over—no one should have to live in fear of being beaten on the street because of who they are."

Gee, I wonder maybe this is why trust in the media is at an all-time low? Nah.....
