CNN all-out defending racist Jussie whatevertheheckhisname is:

[Barbella]

Don Lemon: “it’s not his fault that he lost in the court of public opinion!”. WTH? Whose fault is it?

Van Jones: “This is the fall of an icon and I don’t think people understand how important he has been in the black community. ‘Empire’ as a show, to have him as a beloved character, I think did a great deal to knock back homophobia in the black community,” Jones said. “The fact that he has been celebrated and you see homophobia in the black community through his eyes on the show, this is a Jackie Robinson against homophobia.”

Jackie Robinson? Really?

These [Unwelcome language removed] at CNN should just crawl back under their rock.

Smollett.

They don’t display any shame in the false reporting and downright manipulation of public opinion long before the truth is known. Lemon seems to think this situation wasn’t “handled” correctly. The idea that these falsehoods could somehow be fixed by PR people and not addressing the overt racism in the frame-up is inexcusable.
The liberal media is grotesque.

Just when you think fake news CNN couldn't become more of a joke.......

They defend a racist felon and hold him up as a hero.

[Unwelcome language removed] pathetic.

Where are all the Democrats who claim CNN is a news outlet?

I figured there would be quite a few asshats who STILL back up Jussie's fake story. Lefty idiots are dishonest jerks.

Maybe the WHOLE statement from Don Lemon would be more appropriate and the LINK you so handily left out (FOX NEWS) would shed a little light as well.
Here is Lemon's statement: Sounds a lot different than the words they used, cutting and pasting a very small part of it...paraphrasing. Probably hoping nobody watched it or read the "rest of the story".

CNN anchor Don Lemon offered his perspective of the growing controversy surrounding “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett.

Three weeks after Smollett claimed he was the victim of a racist and homophobic hate crime, he turned himself in to police on Thursday morning on a felony charge for filing a false police report as various leaks from the Chicago Police Department have indicated that he may have orchestrated the attack.

During his opening monologue, Lemon told his viewers that the story was “personal” since he and Smollett had been acquaintances and were in constant communication since the alleged incident and that Smollett told Lemon what he said had happened to him, which he admitted raised lots of questions.

He stressed that while Smollett is “innocent until proven guilty,” he still “squandered the good will of a whole lot of people” if his story wasn’t true.

“He even lied to a lot of people… including me. And that’s not cool,” Lemon said to his viewers. “He squandered the good will of very high-profile people who one day may be running this country like Kamala Harris and Cory Booker and people like President Trump

Why not go spit on Martin's grave? He was MURDERED by a lazy, slovenly, ignorant guy who wanted to play policeman. And he's still a lazy, slovenly puke who has used that murder to further himself and idiots are paying his way plus his stash of weapons. You sure know how to pick them, Eric.

If you wanted a performance that would win the best DRAMA QUEEN award, you should have watched your Pig President humping the flag and then spend 2 hours bragging about himself and sweating like the pig he is. Nobody makes an ass out of themselves like your Donnie.
