As Twitchy told you yesterday, the Babylon Bee recently took out two birds with one satirical stone with this piece on Jussie Smollett and CNN:

But Snopes doesn’t want anyone getting the wrong idea, so they’re once again dedicating their best and brightest to fact-checking the Babylon Bee:

Where would we be without Snopes? We’re not sure, but it’d probably be someplace less stupid than where we are now.
Did you just seriously fact check a satire web site to carry water for the left? ??♂️
