“Comedian” Kevin Hart is back on the defensive after he was widely dragged on social media for supporting Jussie Smollett, after the Empire star was racially/homophobically attacked this week.
Many (many, many, MANY) people commented that perhaps Hart’s controversial use of anti-gay jokes in both his comedy sketches and on Twitter contributed to the culture of hate that led to Smollett’s bashing.
Hart, of course, remained willfully obtuse and doubled down in true Trumpian fashion, shooting back at those who criticized him, and pointing to himself as “an example” of the type of “change” LGBTQ advocates were encouraging.
Riiiiiiiiiiight.
I stand with a man in his time of hurt and need by giving him heart felt support and u take the time to harp on my 10yr past that I have apologized about and moved on from by being a better person. Do you want change? If so I am an example of what u want people to do…CHANGE! https://t.co/Ybbo8OYKTt

Operation spread love is in full effect damn it. I don’t condone or believe in hate, infact I despise it. Hate makes me sick to my stomach…Its pointless. Cowards & weak individuals embrace it. I choose love…I love all of you. I challenge the rest of the world 2 do the same.
