The president’s son stuck his tongue out Sunday night both at the Academy Awards and some recent liberal cause celebres.
Donald Trump Jr. “exhorted” his 3.35 million Twitter followers to “Cast your vote now. The nominees for best performance in a politically motivated hate hoax are…”
The tweet linked to a photo containing pictures of Nathan Phillips, Christine Blasey Ford and Jussie Smollett.

Mr. Phillips is the American Indian activist who goaded some Catholic high-school students from Kentucky into smirking or chanting while he banged a drum in their faces to defuse attacks against the boys by a black hate group. Liberals accused the boys of racism because, among other reasons, the most prominent of the boys was wearing a MAGA hat.
Ms. Blasey Ford is the woman who accused Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh of having sexually assaulted her during an illegal drinking party when they were teenagers. Her charges had no contemporaneous corroboration and Justice Kavanaugh denied her claims.
Mr. Smollett was arrested and charged last week with faking a hate crime against himself that had made him a martyr in Hollywood and among Democrats. He claimed his attackers had, among other things, told him Chicago was “MAGA country.”
