Headlines are already erupting about Smollett being arrested and charged with filing a false police report; you can expect the Left & media to write this off as a ‘publicity stunt’.
But this disgusting farce was directed, very specifically, against a segment of America, and folks, regardless what the Left says, targeting groups qualifies as a Hate Crime.
PERIOD.
FULL.STOP.
(They warned of Trump-supporter hate crimes…guess they got tired of waiting for it.)
