Fox News’ Melissa Francis is getting slammed by conservatives after tweeting that this must be “so humiliating for” “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett and she “can’t help feeling for him”:
So humiliating for #JussieSmollett I can’t help feeling for him.

Francis has come under fire from the Left in the past for her defence of Donald Trump:

So you see, S.E. Cupp? not all “Trumpsters” as she derogatorily called supporters of the president are giddy over Smollett’s apparent lies:
The giddiness among Trumpsters over the Smollett news is gross. This story is awful. He allegedly abused police resources, exploited raw divisions in this country, and made it harder for every victim of a hate crime to report. This is sad no matter your politics.

Now, we don’t agree with Francis’ take as there are many others he’s hurt that deserve our thoughts more than this apparent charlatan:
The only feels I feel for hate crimes hoaxers are contempt, disgust, disdain & fury on behalf of BONA FIDE victims of crime.#SmollettsFolly #JussieSmollettHoax https://t.co/7be9qfY4TZ

Save those feelings for real victims of racial and anti-gay violence. https://t.co/uuLwuOdmLk

Feeling sorry for someone who, as seems more and more likely, faked a racist hate crime and falsely reported it, wasted police resources, and ensured that an entire group of Americans would be subject to the attacks of the woke mob? Seriously? https://t.co/bStBOX0zck

Do you feel for the millions of Trump supporters he smeared? Any at all? https://t.co/K9h3lIyTTv

You feel for him? Please have your head examined. He pulled short staffed police resources away from other REAL crimes while trying to vilify an entire group of people who voted for a sitting POTUS. https://t.co/TVvgiqVd10

And we’re not alone. The ratio on this tweet is pretty spectacular:
