Title: 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.

There are a few lists here:

David Corn is a noxious piece of work.

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.

His Twitter was sort of corny.

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.
