Rahm Bills Smollett, 'Economist' Clueless on Conservatism, Foxx's 'Colloquial' Recusal

Rob Long of National Review Online and Greg Corombos of Radio America applaud Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel for sending Jussie Smollett a bill for more than $130,000 to cover the costs of the police to investigate his hate crime hoax.  They also shake their heads as the supposedly moderate "Economist" magazine labels Ben Shapiro a "sage of the alt-right" but then changes it to call him a "radical conservative."  And they have a lot of fun with the news that Illinois State's Attorney Kim Foxx didn't really recuse herself from the Smollett case in the legal sense, just in the "colloquial" sense.
