Year-end is a time for reflection and all sorts of lists. With that in mind, the Daily Caller compiled a list of what it considers the greatest, i.e., the worst, hate crime hoaxes of 2019 that the mainstream media pushed as legit. See the video embedded below.

A new development has materialized in the Jussie Smollett controversy, which could result in the reopening of the criminal case.
From NBC News:
“A judge ruled Friday that a special prosecutor needs to investigate Cook County State’s Attorney Kimberly Foxx’s handling of the Jussie Smollett case and that the Empire actor should be re-examined for possible criminal charges.
In the aftermath of the Jussie Smollett apparent hoax, several college professors have concluded that hate crime hoaxes are more common than popular perception. Chicago cops have charged the Empire actor with disorderly conduct for filing a false police report after a claim that he was assaulted by two MAGA-hat wearing, MAGA-country shouting Trump supporters. Some two dozen detectives investigated the Smollett case in a city that is engulfed in an ongoing gun violence crime wave. Hate crime hoaxes obviously prevent law enforcement authorities from deploying resources to investigate real hate crimes and/or serious felonies.
Ever notice how the left actually engages in the very behavior that it accuses the right of doing? It’s happened again. Police at the University of Berkeley, the “birthplace of the free speech movement,” say that have identified an individual who is suspected of physically assaulting a conservative activist who was recruiting for Turning Point USA.
Most of America probably never heard of Empire actor Jesse Smollett who claimed he was a victim of a late-night, racially charged, homophobic MAGA attack during the polar vortex in Chicago. Many Americans likely had an inkling that this was yet another hate crime hoax. The Trump-hating media nonetheless immediately amplified the allegations as did the self-righteous blue-check Twitter cohort and various prominent Democrats when it first broke. Although all the facts are yet to come in from the police investigation, and even the FBI got involved, some news outlets are now reporting that the incident may indeed have been a staged hoax.
