He certainly is.. but consider the service he's done the nation in hind sight! He's got his "brothers" so pissed off at him, that the libs don't have a bit of traction.. It's tough to spin a narrative that conservative crackers are at fault for a negative media spin when so many black folk are enraged at Smollett and speaking out about it.
I hope the little shit stain gets the book thrown at him, and his actions will be considered a hate crime, and that he will be prosecuted for it..
