Donna Brazile defends Jussie Smollett

"We don’t know anything about the two guys. I was seeing this morning that they might have had on ski masks or white face. I have never even heard of that," she said in regard to the two Nigerian brothers who Smollett allegedly paid to stage a hate crime against him.

Earlier in the week Smollett's attorney, Tina Glandian, tried to explain why her client had initially claimed he'd been attacked by two white Trump supporters by suggesting that perhaps the brothers had been wearing "white face" when the attack occurred.
