Politics and pop culture collide in Smollett story
Charles Blow, LZ Granderson, and John McWhorter join John Avlon to discuss the charges against Jussie Smollett on the basis that he allegedly filed a false hate crime report. They unpack the media's role in the story, as well as Smollett's denial. "There's a huge break with reality there and there's also a kind of commitment to the lie and to the persona that would be disturbing if this is true," Blow says.
