The controversial and disgraced prosecutor Kim Foxx, who is running for reelection after giving hate-crime hoax artist Jussie Smollett a “free pass,” is now saying the entire issue is “bullsh*t.”
Keep in mind, George Soros is backing this woman’s campaign with 7-figure donations via his SuperPacs.
George Soros and other liberal billionaires are pushing large sums of cash into Chicago to back the far-left prosecutor whose office dropped charges against Jussie Smollett, the actor who staged a “hate crime” he attributed to Trump supporters.
The reelection efforts of Kim Foxx, state’s attorney for Cook County, Ill., received a boost from the Illinois Justice & Public Safety PAC. The committee, founded to support Foxx, has spent six figures on media productions and direct mail backing Foxx’s candidacy, state records show, making it Foxx’s largest backer so far. The PAC received its entire $2 million budget from a group created and funded by Soros. [Washington Free Beacon]
Foxx is getting hammered over her poor handling of the case, and she’s clearly unable to answer tough questions about the bad decisions she made.
Last week Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx appeared on a Chicago Sun-Times podcast where she let people know how she really feels about the Jussie Smollett case. “This issue with Smollett, cause I’ll just take it head on, we’ve got 12 days left, is—excuse my language—is bulls**t.” One of Kim Foxx’s rivals in the Cook County State’s Attorney primary, Bill Conway, has just introduced a new campaign ad quoting that portion of her comments.
“The reputation of the city of Chicago wasn’t marred by Jussie Smollett,” Foxx says in the ad, as her image is plastered to the screen. Then the commercial features a mashup of news reports from when the high-profile, nationally watched case was unfolding…
In her interview with Joravsky last week, Foxx expressed disappointment that it’s been a year since the Smollett incident happened and yet it has become the focus of many interviews and conversations. The commercial highlights a part of her quote, but in the 40-minute interview, she said much more about the case.
“This issue with Smollett … ’cause I’ll just take it head on … we’ve got 12 days left … is … excuse my language … is bull—-. Sorry,” she said. “Hold me accountable. Absolutely. We could have done a better job of explaining how this fits in the context of the work that we do. And in the process of doing it, we owed a greater level of transparency to the people of Cook County.” [Hot Air]
Despite the fact that Foxx has been claiming that her treatment of Smollett was just like any other “low-level” offender, a special prosecutor investigated and actually filed 6 brand new charges against him last month.
And it’s also fair to note that nothing pertaining to Smollett was “like any other low-level” case. It was a national story, and he tried like hell to attack the President and his supporters.

It was a hate crime and his lies could have caused massive “racial tensions.” He needs to pay dearly for what he did and Foxx should be run out of town for her part in the coverup.
