On her show Friday, Megyn Kelly talked about the sentencing of actor Jussie Smollett for his 2019 hate crime hoax and said she doesn’t “feel sorry for him at all.”
Kelly was speaking with her guest Dave Rubin about the trial, verdict, and sentencing of Smollett for staging a fake hate crime, reporting it to the police, and lying about it during the investigation and on the stand. At sentencing, Smollett had an outburst, saying he is innocent and “not suicidal.”
Kelly praised Judge James Linn‘s over thirty minutes of remarks before delivering the sentence, during which he basically read the riot act, saying Smollett was selfish and arrogant and “a charlatan.”
The hearing featured letters from other celebrities and several witnesses. Smollett’s brother Jojo Smollett, took exception to the judge dressing Smollett down, and said “he doesn’t know the struggles my brother is encountering. He doesn’t know anything that he’s dealing with.”
“We don’t care! I couldn’t care less what struggles he’s encountering,” said Kelly. “You’re going to prison because you did lie. You broke the law. You actually involved a lot of the Chicago P.D. time, took up a lot of their time when they could have been solving murders and real crimes out in the streets of Chicago.”
“I don’t feel sorry for him at all,” she emphasized.
