I Thought Smollett Was Supposed to be a Horrible Example...

...Not the start of a fad.

This David Corn guy, apparently with MSNBC and Mother Jones, claimed there was obscene graffiti about AOC in a bathroom stall at the Phoenix Airport. Unluckily for him, the airport was on it. His excuses rival Smollett's as people continue to call him out:

He's not the start of a fad, just the first one the media stuck with after the truth came out.

David Corn is a noxious piece of work.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

I've never heard of a black marker that can be wiped off. Even the special markers used on white boards don't wipe off when applied on any other surface than a white board.

All part of the trend. Smollett gave the police a redacted cell phone call log as "evidence." This guy provides a photo of a wall, in which the purported grafitti has been (supposedly) blanked out, as "evidence."

Apparently the left are functionally illiterate, because they don't appear to understand what "evidence" is.
