There is, you just have to want to find it not willingly ignore it. Using all of the search engines available on the Internet will broaden your horizons, you get all sides of the story not just the politically correct one.
Ah, a "google is a liberal slave" conspiracy theorist.

That's exactly the argument you're making; that hate crimes are separate crimes in and of themselves.

Don't bother trying to tell me what my own argument is if you aren't willing to understand it. What I have said is that Jussie Smollett abused "hate crime" law by lying that he was the victim of one in order to gain sympathy. I've already shown you that the police investigated the accusation as a hate crime from the very beginning--based on his allegations alone.

Does this mean you're just dancing around admitting the truth?

When you're trying to set a certain narrative for the investigation you ignore what he interviewers said don't you? And that is what they did forced a plea deal by threatening his family and them with bankruptcy, not an uncommon tactic if you pay any attention whatsoever to the "injustice" system.

Ah, a "google is a liberal slave" conspiracy theorist.

I'm not sure how you can consider them to be slaves to the party when it seems as if they are the ones creating the issues/stories! The party politicians doesn't seem to have enough imagination of their own so they're just following Google's lead.

Lets just say if you want to see anything other than the "popular rhetoric" with Google you have to look at least 5-6 pages deep, if it's there at all. Very rarely do you find what you want on the first page and if you do it was written by a sycophant, very amusing and completely ignorable. Use the same verbiage on one of the other search engines and it's usually on the 1st page (sometimes 2nd) and normally you get all 3 sides of the story written by both sycophants and non sycophants...

And I'm telling you that he did not. He was trying to get sympathy for himself. Whether the police investigated it as a hate crime or not does not relate to Smollett's motives at all. Or are you trying to claim that the police would not have investigated Smollett being assaulted if he hadn't claimed the perpetrators were white?

And your evidence for this is what? Made up in your own head?

That's pretty hilarious. Got any evidence to back it up? Or are you just triggered because Conservapedia doesn't come up as the first link when you google something?

She didn't "cost NY however much in revenue". The people who lived in the city were glad to see Amazon go because of the concessions the government had to make for very little in return.

Her Green New Deal is better than anything that Republicans have proposed to mitigate climate change (which is zilch), and I'd rather go through the pain of paying for a big plan now than paying several decades in the future when we haven't done anything and are dealing with the effects of a warming climate.

The hypocrisy of someone who probably supports Donny whining about someone being a "15 watt bulb" is astounding and not supported by any facts.

If you really want to have an honest discussion about AOC, you can start, OP, by not lying.

Only if you have been paying any attention to events the last 2 years would what I pointed out be perfectly obvious.

Or are you just triggered because Conservapedia doesn't come up as the first link when you google something?

Triggered? ^_^

Conservapedia? ^_^

Or maybe he didn't think "hate crime" but just "racially motivated violence".

LOL! ^_^
Yeah, as if that's what society, the MSM, the police and lawyers automatically think when a black gay guy is "attacked" by a couple white guys yelling, "This is MAGA country". In case you forgot, I already showed you that the police were investigating it as a hate crime from the very beginning.

The case against Jussie Smollett has taken several shocking twists and turns since the Empire actor first told police he had been the victim of a vicious hate crime nearly two months ago. Prosecutors Just Dropped All Charges Against Jussie Smollett. Here's a Full Timeline of His Case

Read the others as well if you want variety, even though I'm referencing only liberal sources, which seems to pass for "diversity" these days:
Jussie Smollett, Star of ‘Empire,’ Attacked in What Police Call a Possible Hate Crime

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/krystieyandoli/empire-jussie-smollett-hate-crime-attack

Rush asks for FBI hate crime investigation into attack of 'Empire' star

Police Say 'Empire' Actor Jussie Smollett Attacked In Possible Hate Crime

But continue making excuses for the guy if that's what's desirable.

My main problem with her is her constant lying to pander to certain groups. Why can't she just state she lived in the good part of the bronx instead of trying to get the minority vote by acting like she grew up in the hood, even going so far as to buy a fake apartment there that she has never lived in.

Deep thoughts with Ocasio-Cortez....

"Bread goes in, toast comes out. Where does the bread go?"

"My thermos keeps my coffee hot and my iced tea cold. How does it know?"

"Trump offered me the ambassadorship to Mars. I was flattered, but I told him I'd rather it be a planet in our solar system."

"If Endgame is the end all, be all, shouldn't it be the last Marvel movie?"

"Why do lawyers have to be members of a bar? I mean, what if they don't drink?"

"I'm so good I can tell when they don't use real dinosaurs in the movies."

"She lies"

"Constant lying"

Name the lies. You all keep insisting that AOC is ""lying"", but when it comes to actually defending that assertion, I hear crickets.

That tends to happen when your point is not legitimate criticism but smearing someone you don't like.

I just listed two. She lied about the apartment in the Bronx, and that the sudden shift to southern black draw was her "accent her entire life"
