MSNBC seems to really be struggling with the idea that Jussie Smollett is a garbage person who faked a hate crime for money and attention.

But at least Kasie Hunt is willing to indulge B.S. like this:

Oh.

That was bizarre.

To a normal person, yes. To MSNBC? Not so much.

Well … it's totally normal for MSNBC.

And that’s just plain sad.

Tbh, I’m surprised Chris Hayes and others at MSNBC haven’t made Smollett the poster child for police brutality yet…

Don’t worry … they’ve still got time. It’s not like they’re busy doing actual journalism or anything.
