The MAGA hat slanders by the left

Scott Jennings:
Let’s be honest with each other for a moment.

There’s a cabal of people in this country fully invested in driving The Narrative instead of The Truth. The Cabal is powerful, made up of those who wield outsized influence on what Americans know about our nation’s public affairs.

You know it, and I know it. The Narrative is simple:

President Donald Trump is a hypocrite and a liar. Everything he says and does is without precedent and has sinister motive. Anyone who supports Trump is complicit in racism and in allowing Russia to control the United States.

Trump has unleashed an army of misogynist, racist, red-hat wearing monsters who terrorize people for skin color, gender and sexual preference. Trump’s policies are built on lies and hurt many who support him and everyone who doesn’t. American democracy will cease to exist should Trump win re-election.

The Cabal will do virtually anything to keep The Narrative afloat. It reported erroneously that Trump threw a bust of Martin Luther King Jr. out of the Oval Office. With a straight face, it told you that a federal judge and future Supreme Court justice essentially participated in a high school sex cult.

It vilified — in error and without investigation — a mild-mannered teenager for wearing a hat while visiting the Lincoln Memorial. It pretends that members of the Trump #Resistance simply didn’t say about infanticide what the cameras clearly recorded, and that anti-Semitism in its ranks isn’t really anti-Semitism.

The Narrative is an elaborate stage production featuring clever sleight of hand. The actors portraying Victim and Perpetrator always feature the same characteristics. Desperation for The Narrative to become reality eliminates critical thinking from the minds of otherwise smart people.

The latest example of this phenomenon came as Chicago police pulled the plug on actor Jussie Smollett’s claim of being beaten in the middle of the night by two men who shouted racist and homophobic slurs while wearing “Make America Great Again” hats. Smollett’s story was shaky from the beginning, but virtually every mainstream media outlet and leading liberal voice weaponized the incident into The Narrative’s latest cause célèbre.

A “modern day lynching,” Sens. Kamala Harris and Cory Booker called it.

"This attack was not 'possibly' homophobic. It was a racist and homophobic attack,” tweeted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a master of driving The Narrative instead of The Truth about her own upbringing.
...
At the same time, the media was going crazy about Smollett's apparent hate crime hoax, it totally ignored an attack on the same night of a Jewish man in New York City.  That looks like a real hate crime but it did not fit the media's preferred narrative.

Conservatives are correctly getting angry about this false narrative by the left.  They have been spewing false charges of racism and homophobia for years.  In fact, the candidate with a history of blackface shenanigans falsely accused his Republican opponent of racism.  The top three officials in Virginia are accused of things that would have led to hysterical charges against any Republican and unceasing demands for resignations.
