As Twitchy reported, former “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett was found guilty on five of six counts, making tweets by Joe Biden and Kamala “Modern-Day Lynching” Harris among the worst aged tweets in Twitter history. There are plenty of receipts making the rounds, but we’d like to give a special shout-out to CNN’s Brian Stelter, who reacted badly to criticism of his analysis shared by Townhall’s Julio Rosas.
"We may never really know what happened" about a hoax documented with checks and videos is about five inches removed from "Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia" territory. https://t.co/MpU4uWBvwv

Cool. Were you there that night? Smollett's camp says he was the victim of a hate crime. The police dispute that. There isn't video of the alleged attack. Thus, we may never know what really happened.

We still don’t truly know โ maybe the jury got it all wrong.
Another one for the Lourve. Brian is going to have his own wing soon. https://t.co/htBU1IroFS

"There isn't video evidence of the thing that didn't happen not happening, therefore we can't prove the thing didn't happen."
I honestly didn't think Brian Stelter couldn't get any dumber. At least he has his good looks! https://t.co/RfPplPoLNp

If @CNN is serious about gaining back their credibility, @brianstelter should be the first to be booted out the door. https://t.co/u5p3h3rAEL

There are so many terrible old takes, but since this one came from the “Reliable Sources” guy, we had to include it.
