Oppression is the new “privilege.” There is no surer demonstration of that fact than Jussie Smollett having all charges against him dropped in Chicago, even as he unapologetically maintains his ridiculous claim that he was assaulted by Trump supporters for being gay and black.

The office of Cook County State Attorney Kim Foxx said Tuesday that it had let go of Smollett, who had been indicted on 16 felony counts, “after reviewing all of the facts and circumstances of the case, including Mr. Smollett’s volunteer service in the community and agreement to forfeit his [$10,000] bond to the City of Chicago.”
