Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic nominee, never deleted a social media post that supported Jussie Smollett's hate crime hoax.
Vice President Kamala Harris once called infamous hate crime hoaxer Jussie Smollett a victim of an attempted 'modern day lynching.' Now the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, Harris to this day has not deleted her 2019 social media post that repeats the false claim, even after the 'Empire' actor's criminal conviction in Illinois for the faked attack.
Smollett has appealed his conviction to the Illinois Supreme Court, which in March agreed to hear his case. 'What should have been a straightforward case has been complicated by the intersection of politics and public outrage,' Smollett’s attorneys wrote in a February court filing. Smollett's legal team repeated an argument from previous appeals saying his 2021 trial violated his Fifth Amendment protections against double jeopardy, or being punished twice for the same crime.
Harris, a former California state attorney general, was not the only Democrat duped by Smollett's phony story. President Biden, her rival in the Democratic primary at the time, also issued a tweet that remains online condemning the purported hate crime. 'What happened today to @JussieSmollett must never be tolerated in this country,' Biden wrote on Jan. 29, 2019.
Again, as a government official, you can express support for your friends and supporters, but you should do it in a judicious and appropriate manner that doesn't call into question the integrity of the judicial process,' Roy said. 'People see who has made hasty judgments about controversial issues and, hopefully, they keep that in mind when they evaluate the merits of the candidates.
