Al Goodwyn Editorial Cartoons by Al Goodwyn for December 06, 2021

This clown gives actors a bad name!

Ergo, Smollett makes all the rightwing attacks okay.

OK. Smollett did something stupid that will no doubt cause him trouble for the rest of his life. Seems to me Ol’ Al should have shown him WEARING that hat…

The right wing stands behind their bad actors. Smollett has destroyed his career, unless he becomes a MAGA.

Just goes to show you that selfish idiots come in all shapes and sizes and don’t always wear red MAGA hats as identifiers.

Great ‘toon! Let’s invent some racism. You gotta love those libs, anything to keep the fake narrative going.

You sure it wasn’t George Soros and Antifa and migrant caravans and Communists and baby-eaters?

OY!

Big prize in the big house.

I note that Mr Goodwyn, like all the “conservative” cartoonists who have mocked Smollett, have drawn exactly nothing about Donald Kirk Hartle, the Nevada man whose claims that someone had fraudulently voted under the identity of his dead wife were widely touted by Trumpublicans and given a national platform by conservative media — and was arrested for committing the fraud himself.

Are we mad at him because he lied to us, or because we believed him?

vote

So you want to elevate a simple assault to national because you think it makes Dems look bad. It isn’t like anyone knew who this clown was before during or after the incident.

It is the same old story deflection the Right wing deploys daily.

The right wing rioters are justified in their actions because some criminals stole stuff from CVS.

The Dems are just as guilty of Sexual misconduct as the Repubs

The Dems are to blame for Covid even though the right wing calls prevention efforts Nazi tactics

So Al wants to highlight this criminal act where no one was hurt, to remove the spotlight from yet another school shooting that killed innocent children. A crime abetted by his gun nut parents who then fled prosecution.

Deflect Deflect Deflect.

Some of you STUPID REPUBLICANS don’t seem to understand so let me explain. You see, those two Nigerian men that Jussie payed to attack him actually have a deep hatred for black people. So they went to a convenience store and bought two magical MAGA hats that, when worn, turned their skin white and their hair blonde which disguised them and allowed them to beat up Jussie and then use the unfreezable bleach that they bought with the money Jussie gave them. So obviously this is a clear cut act of racism and if you don’t think that, your some republican loser.

With a name like Jussie, he should be doing hard time in a bottom rated show for ever.

I ‘dunnit!’

He gives everyone a bad name.

At least Smollet is being prosecuted for his crime. I recall other incidents where people have tried to say they were car-jacked or otherwise blamed anonymous scary black guys to cover up their own crimes. I guess your point is to support racial tension that Republicans find useful to keep their base afraid and angry.

I guess it’s ok that right wing neo-Nazi “journalists” are trying to exploit the Waukesha tragedy, Mr. Goodwin? I’ve seen dog-whistle comments about it right here on Go Comics, too.

Goodwyn being “fair & balanced!” /s

Meanwhile, FOX “News” is saying that “liberals” are to blame for the school shootings in Michigan (besides, as usual this time of year, trying to destroy Christmas). Specifically, BLM and the “Defund the Police” movement.

This is the authoritative “news” source that people like MT Bill believe.

Yep, and he’s being tried in court for it.
