The Strangeness of Jussie Smollett’s Alleged Attack | The Daily Show

[@ArcaJ]

People like him make it harder for real victims of hate crime.

[@jeremythompson6822]

Very true.

[@ChildofIcarus]

How? As far as I'm concerned these events only reinforce what should already be practiced: investigate and collect evidence, make an appropriate assessment. And then act accordingly.

[@neeneko]

Not really. The people who do not believe in hate crimes are going to dismiss such claims no matter what, and if they do not have cut and dried ones like this they have no problem reframing other incidents.

[@tonatiuhnino3711]

Imagine if someone who was an actual victim got into an genuine hate crime. Now police won't believe him or her anything anymore.

[@jason4801]

Yes, those are the real victims here. Let's ignore the fact that Smollet was willing to throw two random white people in jail for no reason if the police did a shitier job than they ended up doing.

Remember when people didnt see racism and sexism and homophobia everywhere? Good times. Now they need to fake that shit just to fill their daily quotas. If anything is bringing out racism in people its idiots like smollett. if anything is somehow making men more sexist its dumbass feminists. They are just so blinded. The fact trump is president is still a mystery to people? If people had focused on what a general moron he is about everything related to politics, instead of this nonsense sexism and racism shit, he probably wouldnt ever be elected.

My first thought on this story was “why him though?” I honestly didn’t think he was prominent enough to be targeted in that way. And that was likely his first mistake.

In my opinion, that's the difference between democrats and conservatives. Democrats support each other, but not to the point that they would turn a blind eye to someone doing something wrong. Republicans simply deflect. Not matter what Trump does, all we hear is "but Hilary..." "her emails", and "jobs". (not speaking for every single person; just a general observation) I greatly respect Trevor for doing the same to Hilary when she said that what Bill did wasn't sexual harassment because Monica wasn't a minor and then deflected the very next second asking what about Trump.

[@josephharte]

You seem to be seeing this story through a backwards telescope, Ben. This guy isn't a "hate filled BLACK racist". He's just an idiot who came up with a stupid scheme to raise his profile.

If he was a great actor, he woulda got away with this. Hell he cant even draw, what was suppose to be a gun, looked like a power drill. If he did have bleach poured on him, where are the stained clothing? Hes a disgrace, and i hope he gets maximum punishments.

[@haleyclarke1332]

You can't cancel him, he is too good to not be on TV 😂

[@mikewilliams6025]

No one remembers that this was a late reversal by Noah. He spent the first month simping for him.

[@macadelac]

He deserves an Emmy for that interview

[@p.rabbitt4914]

That's hilarious.. I live in Chicago and it is ANYTHING but MAGA country, ha!

[@coolpetsportugal947]

He did it to boost his career. Fame and success chase by a narcissist. He wanted to be the talk of the town. Now he's just the joke of the town.

[@LegionIvory]

The thing that always got me was how he had bleached poured all over his face but had virtually no disfigurement. I've seen bleached victims, and the end result can be horrific.

[@jamielehman4934]

And at -16 degrees, it would've been impossible to pour bleach on him. And the most obvious sign that he was lying was when he claimed he "walked" to Subway. I've worked in predominantly black neighborhoods, trust me, black ppl would NEVER walk to get food if they had access to a vehicle. Especially not in those temperatures. They have a very low tolerance for being inconvenienced.

[@mamumaumau7205]

Well, I just watched all of the gals from the View and their reaction to this absurd hoax was pure gold!!!! Each one was nearly in tears and so sympathetic for poor, poor lying Jesse here.. Just classic and oh so satisfying!!!

[@Theuribeschannel1]

I hope this doesn’t effect the show :(

[@ATLballer]

Rafael Uribe fuck that show...haven’t seen it since season two

[@winterain17]

Empire has been declining for a good while. The plot is messy af, it won't be a terrible loss.

[@Ta2dwitetrash]

Been a long time since I laughed at something Trevor Noah said.

[@nightrider3067]

Since when is subway open at 2am? Yeah he lying lol

[@jamielehman4934]

Notice how Trevor still tries to tie Trump into this? When he says "no collusion" he's desperately trying to shift the judgement back onto Trump.

[@bastiliedtk4390]

Eather he is lying or he has to be an actor Oh i see

[@brainflash1]

Wasn't this already uploaded?

[@carleysoul]

Yes! I LITERALLY JUST TYPED THAT! LOL! WHY DID THEY RELOAD THIS?

[@neomcdoom]

That was him doing his off to the side thing.

[@erinhaury5773]

The previous video was from his Between the Scenes thing, this one was from the actual segment on the show.
