Members ReddFoxx Posted February 18, 2019 Members Share Posted February 18, 2019 All of this is so bizarre. Fox has denied that he was being let go so if he didn't do this to keep his job there is still the question of why he did do this. Perhaps it was just for attention, but whatever the reason it really is crazy to stage an attack. Politically it won't have any ramifications because it's over a year from the next election and it isn't as if anyone was falsely arrested. It will be as remembered as Morton Downey Jr.'s fake attack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted February 18, 2019 Members Share Posted February 18, 2019 If it wasn't in order to keep his job, then I have to think he did this to divert attention away from something else, something that might have been on the verge of making news and risking his career and possibly more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted February 18, 2019 Members Share Posted February 18, 2019 Whether he was going to be fired or not is no excuse for what he did...if what is being reported is true. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted February 18, 2019 Members Share Posted February 18, 2019 I think the nature of our social media environment today will have people moving on fast, and events will speed along. IMO the election will not be affected. That being said, the right wing and MAGA cult will never, ever forget this and will bring it up constantly, not just this year and next year but for decades to come. The toxic stew of our politics is that much worse because of this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted February 18, 2019 Members Share Posted February 18, 2019 (edited) I'm still trying to figure out what he thought he'd gain from all this...if he is really behind this.

Members ReddFoxx Posted February 18, 2019 Members Share Posted February 18, 2019 There is absolutely no excuse for what he did, I was just wondering what his motivation was. Whatever it was it's likely that he will end up claiming that his mental state caused him to behave irrationally and say that he is bipolar or something like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted February 18, 2019 Members Share Posted February 18, 2019 (edited) EDT. Ack, I just saw that you posted the video @Faulkner hours so I deleted mine! I don't often come to this thread because I haven't watched the show in years! Very interesting that he offered to fly out to Chicago to interview Smollett and never heard back. Blow, of course is definitely not lacking in compassion but he is not one to softball questions (no offense to Robin Roberts).

Members Faulkner Posted February 18, 2019 Members Share Posted February 18, 2019 Apparently Jussie was in touch with Don Lemon a lot in the days following the incident. I just wonder what Jussie was telling him and how Don feels now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted February 18, 2019 Members Share Posted February 18, 2019 Did they mean they aren't pro-Trump? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted February 18, 2019 Members Share Posted February 18, 2019 IDK, either would make sense given the this set up was a ruse that blamed MEGA people. Maybe they are saying that they weren't in on that part of it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
