We have devoted extensive coverage to the race incident at Smith College in Massachusetts which turned out to be a hoax, and to Jodi Shaw who ultimately resigned from Smith as a result.
In the course of the hoax, a janitor and a cafeteria worker were falsely smeared as racists. Jodi Shaw is now trying to help them out through fundraising.
Tucker asked Jodi why she is doing this. She responded, “Because it’s wrong. It’s absolutely wrong what happened to them. They were not involved in this incident at all, and by the way the custodian who actually did call campus police was also not in the wrong. And you know, my version of social justice is people using their privilege, in my case I was privileged to be a graduate of Smith College. When I see wrong, I want to do something to help.”
Watch the segment below:
The cafeteria worker spoke out about the incident recently.
