He and Da\u2019Karia, along with her brother Dhaamir, were on their way to pick up a laptop for Da\u2019Karia to begin remote learning as she prepared to start fifth grade at Foster Park Elementary School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Around the same time, police attempted to pull over a black Mercedes-Benz traveling east on 80th Street, while Kevin Spicer was driving west along the same road, approaching Halsted Street, where tragedy struck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The driver of the Mercedes evaded the traffic stop and&nbsp;sped off toward the intersection, reaching nearly 90 mph, with police in hot pursuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mercedes first struck a 57-year-old woman in another car before Kevin Spicer noticed the Mercedes speeding toward them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He quickly swerved to the side of the road in an attempt to avoid the collision, but it was already too late. The Mercedes plowed into the driver\u2019s side of the tan Honda sedan, crushing Da\u2019Karia and leaving Kevin Spicer with fractured ribs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the crash, three people bailed out of the Mercedes and fled on foot,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chicagotribune.com\/2020\/09\/03\/mercedes-fleeing-chicago-police-crashes-into-car-killing-10-year-old-girl-and-critically-injuring-5-year-old-brother-i-will-never-be-ok-after-today-mom-cries\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">according to<\/a>&nbsp;the Chicago Tribune. Police later questioned at least one suspect, however, there is no indication that anyone was ever arrested or criminally prosecuted in the case.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the legal proceedings, the city denied any fault for the accident, and it was only in November that it finally admitted the officers involved were responsible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Attorneys for the Spicer family asked the jury to award $140 million in damages, while the city\u2019s lawyers countered with a significantly lower sum, suggesting an amount between $12 million and $15 million. Judge Preston Jones presided as the jury awarded the Spicer family $79.85 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jurors heard closing arguments Wednesday morning and began deliberations at 1 p.m. before delivering the verdict just before 5 p.m., according to reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Patrick Salvi, an attorney for the Spicer family, described the jury\u2019s verdict as a reflection of the \u201cprofound loss\u201d that the girl\u2019s relatives have endured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis case speaks to the extreme dangers that are police pursuits,\u201d Salvi said, <a href=\"https:\/\/chicago.suntimes.com\/chicago\/2024\/12\/11\/jury-to-decide-how-much-the-city-owes-family-of-young-girl-killed-in-2020-police-chase-crash\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">according to<\/a> the Chicago Sun-Times. \u201cWe recognize fully that there are instances where the police must pursue. &#8230; But that wasn\u2019t the case here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Family attorneys with Salvi, Schostok &amp; Pritchard claimed that the city\u2019s insurance carriers obstructed efforts to resolve the case. Before the trial, they proposed a $55 million settlement, but the insurers would only offer $12 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe insurance companies that are supposed to protect taxpayer dollars for the city of Chicago gambled with those taxpayer dollars,\u201d said Lance Northcutt, another attorney representing Da\u2019Karia\u2019s father, Kevin Spicer, and mother, Darnesha Johnson. \u201cThey gambled with the fact that a Cook County jury would not recognize the incalculable loss that the Spicer family endured with the loss of their little Da\u2019Karia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The family\u2019s lawyers said they intend to pursue a separate lawsuit against the insurance providers, accusing them of failing to settle the case before it went to trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in June, nearly four years after the horrific crash, the Chicago Police Department finally released body camera footage that shed light on what happened. Officers were captured blowing through stop signs, driving down alley ways in an unmarked car and seemingly making light of the prediction when the driver of the Mercedes Benz would crash. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/L6DS7HDLaQQ?si=hcia4NQpRCVEa6fg\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>The trial began on Dec. 5 in Cook County, with jurors hearing extensive testimony from Da\u2019Karia\u2019s parents, mental health experts, and medical professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis case is about some of the deepest depths of pain and loss,\u201d Salvi told jurors during his closing statement, the Sun-Times reported. \u201cThe bright shining star of the family was killed,\u201d Salvi continued, emphasizing the family\u2019s unique bond. \u201cThat was their life, and the city took it. They took it away.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kevin Spicer, 47, took the stand on the first day of the trial, describing his daughter\u2019s death as a gaping wound that remained unhealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere is nothing you can do to replace that,\u201d Kevin Spicer said, sobbing as he spoke. \u201cI miss my daughter and nothing is going to change that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kevin Spicer managed to climb through the sunroof of his wrecked car to reach his children despite his injuries on that day tragedy struck his family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dhaamir, who was 5 at the time, suffered serious injuries, including a fractured skull around his eye and acute respiratory failure. He spent three days on a ventilator at Comer Children\u2019s Hospital. While he has since recovered, he was left with a prominent scar above his left eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last time Kevin Spicer saw his daughter, she was lying on a stretcher, her eyes open but lifeless. &#8220;Da&#8217;Karia, I&#8217;m with you. Take me with her,&#8221; Kevin Spicer was heard saying at the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The girl was rushed to a nearby children&#8217;s hospital, where she was pronounced dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During her decade of life, Da\u2019Karia was a cheerleader, Girl Scout, and dancer with a passion for geography. Her bedroom was adorned with maps of Chicago, the United States, and the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The day after the crash, the city denied responsibility, with then-Mayor Lori Lightfoot going before the cameras and claiming the brief high-speed chase wasn\u2019t to blame. However, police pursuits stemming from traffic violations directly violated Chicago Police Department policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A week before trial, the city finally admitted liability but contested the damages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Chicago-area family was awarded nearly $80 million last week as part of a lawsuit related to a brief police chase that caused the suspect&#8217;s [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2083,"featured_media":692451,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"MSN_Categories":"News","MSN_Publish_Option":true,"MSN_Is_Local_News":false,"MSN_Is_AIAC_Included":"Empty","MSN_Location":"[]","MSN_Add_Feature_Img_On_Top_Of_Post":false,"MSN_Has_Custom_Author":false,"MSN_Custom_Author":"","MSN_Has_Custom_Canonical_Url":false,"MSN_Custom_Canonical_Url":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32,15],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-692016","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"category-video"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.0 (Yoast SEO v24.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Chicago Family Awarded $80 Million After Police Admit Guilt In Hot Pursuit Chase with Officers Blowing Stop Signs In Unmarked Car Leading to Crash That Killed 10-Year-Old Girl<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A Chicago-area family was awarded nearly $80 million last week as part of a lawsuit related to a brief police chase that caused the suspect&#039;s car to crash\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/atlantablackstar.com\/2024\/12\/17\/chicago-family-awarded-80-million-after-police-hot-pursuit-chase-led-to-crash-that-killed-10-year-old-girl\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Chicago Family Awarded $80 Million After Police Admit Guilt In Hot Pursuit Chase with Officers Blowing Stop Signs In Unmarked Car Leading to Crash That Killed 10-Year-Old Girl\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A Chicago-area family was awarded nearly $80 million last week as part of a lawsuit related to a brief police chase that caused the suspect&#039;s car to crash\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/atlantablackstar.com\/2024\/12\/17\/chicago-family-awarded-80-million-after-police-hot-pursuit-chase-led-to-crash-that-killed-10-year-old-girl\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Atlanta Black Star\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ATLBlackStar\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-12-17T16:24:47+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-12-17T16:24:54+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/atlantablackstar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/girl-dies-police-chase-1.webp\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"675\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/webp\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"A.L.

My theory is that she probably went to another gate maybe to see if she could get her seats changed because they were on the same flight.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some commenters hypothesized that the woman didn&#8217;t just go on some crazed rant but was reacting to abusive treatment committed by the man she confronted. Others wrote about how they suffered similar experiences with former partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;She&#8217;s not crazy. This is called &#8216;reactive abuse.'&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This guy knows her, no doubt. His silence says everything.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several others thought some commenters were taking their estimations too far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s no way you can tell what&#8217;s going on in this clip,&#8221; one person wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Ppl will make 100+ assumptions off a short video they see online,&#8221; another person added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Yes, of course there&#8217;s the possibility she&#8217;s losing it and doesn&#8217;t even know him. But my vote is he absolutely knows her!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the mental health advocacy organization Charlie Health, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charliehealth.com\/post\/what-is-reactive-abuse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reactive abuse<\/a> occurs when someone has endured sustained abusive behavior and reacts aggressively toward their abuser. These kinds of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellmind.com\/reactive-abuse-signs-impact-and-tips-to-break-the-cycle-7567483\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">responses<\/a> can take the form of physical or verbal attacks that include yelling, screaming, insulting, or even assaulting an abuser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Advocates say this behavior is a form of self-defense, since the victim is reacting to prolonged harmful behavior by their abuser, and should not be equated with abusive behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Abusive partners, especially narcissistic ones, can often push their victims to provoke a reaction. When the victim reacts with anger or aggression, the narcissist can use this reaction to manipulate the situation further. They may portray themselves as the victim, justify their abusive behavior, and use the victim\u2019s reaction as evidence to discredit their claims or deflect responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The TikToker who posted the video said that security wasn&#8217;t called and no further incidents between the man and woman took place on the flight, but she did notify a flight attendant to make the crew aware of the situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A viral video showing a woman&#8217;s explosive tirade against a male passenger in the Atlanta airport led many viewers

One would think she has a positive self-esteem, but I think it could be the opposite. Shows off her fake body for attention. Unfortunate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Bezos should run fast and far!&#8221; said another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another remarked, \u201cIt&#8217;s actually humorous, this dichotomy between dating someone of almost unimaginable wealth, and having an appearance that yells out \u2018multiple botched bargain-basement cosmetic surgeries\u2019 and utterly tasteless, cringeworthy fashion choices.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;i think it past time for jeff to take a page out of Don Jr&#8217;s book and tell this woman to get some class. It is awful and shocking seeing her almost all the time in clothes that are as bad as street,&#8221; another commenter wrote. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But then there were people who seemed to be fans of the pilot-turned-author.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen she is dressed appropriately, and not like a blow up doll, she is stunningly beautiful,\u201d one reader wrote. \u201cIDK why she dresses 99% of time like trash. Additionally, this woman is intelligent and accomplished, why she chases the \u2018celebrity\u2019 status and vapid \u2018it\u2019 idiots to hang with is also a mystery. Disappointed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some fans just thought all of the hubbub about her outfit was uncalled for, writing, \u201cWhat are we Mormons now?\u201d and \u201cSee-through outfit is a bit of a stretch. This is who Lauren is and how she likes to dress. Nothing wrong with it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One said, \u201cI agree that the outfit is borderline. but all the hate is UGLY. She\u2019s a pilot, author and has worked as a broadcast journalist. Engaged to one of the richest men in the world. She has shared about her dyslexia openly. I\u2019ve seen her moved to tears about the shame she felt. My point is she\u2019s a human being.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not the first time that people in the public have come for her outfits. When the Bezos Earth Fund vice <a href=\"https:\/\/atlantablackstar.com\/2024\/12\/04\/jeff-bezos-fiancee-lauren-sanchez-black-latex\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">chair&nbsp;did a photo dump<\/a>, fans destroyed her wardrobe, calling it \u201ccheap,\u201d and teasing, \u201call the money in the world cannot buy taste.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another controversy comes from her former friend and yoga instructor, Alanna Zabel, who accused her of <a href=\"https:\/\/atlantablackstar.com\/2024\/12\/02\/jeff-bezos-fiancee-exposed-web-of-lies-yoga-instructor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">stealing the idea for her book<\/a> from one of Zabel\u2019s earlier releases. However, no legal action has substantiated this claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>S\u00e1nchez released \u201cThe Fly Who Flew to Space\u201d on Sept. 10, further expanding her portfolio beyond business, philanthropy, and media. With wedding plans on the horizon, she seems to be soaring high. Despite the buzz around her outfit, S\u00e1nchez stayed focused on celebrating storytelling and inspiring young readers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u2018What Did We Do\u2019:Ex-NY Giants Captain Jonathan Casillas Says Giants Got It Wrong with Saquon Barkley\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rBk9c4nvnCc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;

It shocked the world that the beloved dancer who rose to stardom on the dance competition series \u201cSo You Think You Can Dance,\u201d had suddenly passed away. In addition, to expanding their family, they grew their own fan bases by doing dance challenges together online and constantly sharing photos of each other and their family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What was even harder to grasp is that Boss took his own life just three days after his nine-year anniversary with Holker.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In December 2022, it was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/entertainment-arts\/tv\/story\/2022-12-16\/twitch-death-suicide-note-stephen-boss\">reported<\/a> that Boss checked into a motel and died by a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Staff members discovered his body the next morning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was also some contention due to tWitch&#8217;s family implying that they <a href=\"https:\/\/atlantablackstar.com\/2024\/11\/07\/twitchs-family-reunites-with-his-kids-after-widow-allison-holker-denied-his-family-access\/\">had not seen the children since his passing<\/a>.

Nancy Mace, Stephanopoulos claimed that Trump had been \u201cfound liable for rape\u201d and \u201cdefaming the victim of that rape.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jim <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Acosta?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Acosta<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/brianstelter?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@brianstelter<\/a> rip ABC settlement with Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UcGJUtw6f7\">pic.twitter.com\/UcGJUtw6f7<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Tommy moderna-vaX-Topher (@tommyxtopher) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tommyxtopher\/status\/1868695659257446438?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 16, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump was found guilty of sexual assault but not rape as defined by New York law. He has appealed both verdicts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The settlement was reached last Friday, the same day a Florida federal judge ordered the parties to sit for separate depositions. Due to the agreement, sworn testimony is no longer required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ABC News has within 10 days to transfer the $15 million, donated to Trump\u2019s presidential library, to an escrow account that\u2019s being managed by the law firm of Trump&#8217;s attorney, Alejandro Brito. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Acosta asked if the agreement would have a &#8220;chilling effect&#8221; on the news industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The answer is yes,&#8221; Stelter replied. &#8220;Media lawyers are worried about this, they\u2019re preparing for it. They are preparing their newsrooms for it with the expectation of more lawsuits, more leak investigations, more subpoenas in the months and years to come.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You know, there\u2019s a great AP story about this this morning saying there\u2019s a balancing act right now for the press between being fearful and just being prepared, doing our jobs, but being aware of the climate. And maybe that\u2019s partly what ABC was doing here. ABC, as a source there said to me, &#8216;We needed this problem to go away,&#8217;\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stelter said Trump has created a climate where litigation against media companies is expected. Even the president-elect is facing multiple defamation suits, he noted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;So, you know, this turns in multiple directions, right? And what some see as accountability for mistakes on live television. others see as currying favor, a settlement to curry favor with the next president,&#8221; Stelter added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Acosta said the media needs to stand firm against the president but worries if capitulation may cause some fellow journalists to think twice before making critical comments about Trump. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;He\u2019s going to continue to say things that need to be fact checked,&#8221; Acosta said. &#8220;And you can\u2019t have the news industry worrying about this sort of stuff when they\u2019re just simply doing their jobs.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stelter said that the settlement with ABC is not just about this one case but instead a broader agenda to force journalistic outlets into &#8220;self-censorship.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;He did win in this case with a big payment,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But that broader concern about self-censorship is one that I know many viewers and readers are worried about.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ABC&#8217;s

Smith says he has woken up after realizing January 6th was likely an inside job,\u201d one person wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The backlash wasn&#8217;t far behind. Some have repeatedly called out Smith for appearing to flip flop between his party affiliations. &#8220;One added, He\u2019s obviously angling for his own Fox show.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Confidential human sources collaborate with the FBI to provide valuable information and insights about the operations of organizations that pose threats to national security, such as criminal syndicates, terrorist groups, and espionage networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the report, four of these confidential sources entered the Capitol building during the events of January 6, while 13 others were present in the restricted areas surrounding the Capitol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report highlighted that a confidential human source had direct contact with the leadership of far-right groups like the Oath Keepers and possessed knowledge of plans being discussed by the Proud Boys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on his reading of the report, Smith dedicated a whole segment to his narrative on the latest episode of \u201cThe Stephen A Smith Show,\u201d where he embraced the right-wing conspiracy that Democrats played a role in creating the insurrection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even Vice President-elect JD Vance suggested the narrative was fake news, writing on social media last Thursday, \u201cFor those keeping score at home, this was labeled a dangerous conspiracy theory months ago.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Smith was one of those who took the bait, pointing to what he said was hypocrisy in the way Democrats criticize others while engaging in such political exploits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy big issue is that I\u2019m really, really sick and tired of every time I turn around, finding something else that the Democrats have lied about or downplayed or misrepresented along the way,\u201d Smith said in response to the report and the Democratic Party\u2019s general attitude toward the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Known for his <a href=\"https:\/\/atlantablackstar.com\/2024\/11\/08\/stephen-a-smith-accused-bashing-oprah-winfrey-claiming-donald-trump-had-biggest-comeback\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">contrarian viewpoints<\/a>, Smith then criticized President Joe Biden and Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/atlantablackstar.com\/2024\/12\/01\/george-clooney-furious-barack-obama-kamala-harris-defeat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kamala Harris<\/a> for remaining silent on the topic while they focused on the insurrection narrative leading up to the November election, which Trump won by a landslide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Smith argued that defending liberal values was becoming increasingly difficult now that figures like Sean Hannity, Candace Owens, and Megyn Kelly were dominating the conversation, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou know what I\u2019m getting really p\u2014d off about?! I\u2019m getting really ticked off. And every time they open their mouth about something pertaining to y\u2019all, they seem right.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He then argued that Democrats consistently fail to rise above the very allegations they level against their GOP opponents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe can argue policies. We can argue politics all day long. But the Democrats worked really, really diligently to make the case that the right had a monopoly on insidious, evil tendencies,\u201d Smith ranted. \u201cCorrupt tendencies. Duplicitous, hypocritical, untruthful tendencies and every time they made those accusations.&nbsp;We turn around and find out that at least some of them are guilty of the same s\u2014t.

Smith says he has woken up after realizing January 6th was likely an inside job<br><br> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/F4TLRoi9ms\">pic.twitter.com\/F4TLRoi9ms<\/a><\/p>&mdash; End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EndWokeness\/status\/1868379009878495385?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 15, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s unclear why Smith, a sports commentator known for his outspoken style, went out of his way to address the topic, although he is no stranger to controversy, frequently sharing heedless political views during regular appearances on Sean Hannity&#8217;s Fox News show, which continue to put him at odds with the Black community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in April, Smith was forced to apologize after he attempted to equate Trump\u2019s legal problems with the historic struggles of Black people, sparking outrage among civil rights advocates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although generally considered a liberal, Smith occasionally aligns with far-right views. Recently, Smith criticized Joe Biden for pardoning his son Hunter, an action that prompted Donald Trump to suggest he would pardon January 6 defendants in response. Critics, however, argue that Trump was likely to pardon the Capitol rioters regardless of Biden\u2019s decision concerning Hunter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDoes the Pardon given by Joe to Hunter include the J-6 Hostages, who have now been imprisoned for years? Such an abuse and miscarriage of Justice!\u201d Trump declared in his first public comment since Biden announced the pardon for Hunter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a Time magazine interview released last Thursday, when Trump was named its Person of the Year, he pledged to pardon some of the rioters immediately upon taking office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Justice Department report clarified that none of the confidential sources were authorized to enter the Capitol or engage in unlawful activity; however, four of them did so regardless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNone of the CHSs who entered the Capitol or a restricted area has been prosecuted to date,\u201d the report noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report criticized the FBI for not effectively sharing intelligence about potential violence with nearby offices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe FBI therefore should have canvassed its field offices for any relevant CHS information in advance of January 6,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The inspector general&#8217;s office reviewed more than 500,000 documents and interviewed more than 200 witnesses before finalizing the report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stephen A.

Last month, Sabrina Morrissey, Williams\u2019 guardian, declared her client \u201ccognitively impaired\u201d and \u201cpermanently incapacitated.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The prognosis was disclosed in a court filing, where Williams\u2019 legal team is suing Lifetime for exploiting the celebrity in their \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/atlantablackstar.com\/2024\/03\/02\/producers-of-where-is-wendy-williams-defend-releasing-the-documentary-amid-dementia-diagnosis\/\">Where\u2019s Wendy Williams<\/a>?\u201d docuseries that spurred a wave of backlash from fans in February.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, just as supporters of the former radio host began to grapple with a disheartening health update, she reemerged in public for the first time in months. On Dec. 15, blogger Antoine Edwards shared a video of Williams sitting in the back of an SUV after an outing at a Fort Lauderdale, Florida, restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Williams was reportedly accompanied by a nephew for the food pick-up. It has long been reported that she has been receiving treatment in the panhandle state despite family members having limited knowledge of her whereabouts and communication with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Hey y\u2019all I just exclusively spoke to a source about the recent Wendy Williams Florida sighting .. <br><br>who tells me.. <br><br>&#8211; the video WAS this weekend (happened Sunday 12\/15\/24)<br><br>I asked about how coherent Wendy Williams was\u2026 I was told \u2026<br><br>-Wendy Williams was able to engage in\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/lqnXmNnwSj\">pic.twitter.com\/lqnXmNnwSj<\/a><\/p>&mdash; BROWN GIRL GRINDING\u2b50\ufe0f (@LorenLorosa) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LorenLorosa\/status\/1868692070799442417?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 16, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>Edwards gushed, \u201cYou look good!\u201d to Williams, who appeared in good spirits, smiling and thanking staff. The contrast in what people saw in the footage and what they have read about her journey with dementia ignited a flood of reactions underneath The Neighborhood Talk\u2019s re-post of the video on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For starters, one person wrote, \u201cThat guardian needs to BE INVESTIGATED!!!!!\u201d But the reactions quickly shifted into speculation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DDnWQ09PwFB\/?igsh=ZXdhbzN4cmRkM3Zp&amp;img_index=1\"> comment<\/a> read, \u201cBaby Wendy playing crazy on purpose lol.
