CNN has found someone to blame for the Jussie Smollett hoax. Your first idea might be that CNN is blaming Trump for Smollett, his hoax and the obvious corrupt by the Chicago big wigs getting his sixteen felony charges dropped. But CNN didn’t blame Trump this time. Instead, they are blaming you, and every other American for making the Smollett hoax corruption a news story. You see, because Smollett is black and gay, it is all our faults for even caring about the story in the first place. The fact that Smollett demonstrated a two-tiered justice system is all our faults according to CNN.

Smollett shouldn’t be top of mind, no matter whether he’s telling the truth or really staged a phony attack to boost his chances of getting a raise. But he is. That doesn’t mean he should be scapegoated for our inability to focus on things far more important. That’s our fault, not his.
CNN doesn’t blame Trump directly for Smollett, but as usual they still took a cheap shot at him in their story blaming Americans for being pissed off about a two-tiered justice system. One for the rich, elite and well connected and another for everyone else. This is CNN’s cheap shot at Trump, basically comparing Smollett to Trump supporters celebrating that the Mueller report vindicated him.
It should not pass notice that many of those declaring President Trump innocent of any wrongdoing because he faces no charges and because of a summary of a report none of them has read aren’t willing to do the same for Smollett.
This is CNN.
