She's disappointed alright. Disappointed it wasn't Trump supporters who attack Smollett.
BTW...This photo of her with the most loved and respected man on the planet should do wonders for her campaign. At least Barry had the foresight to avoid him like the plague until AFTER he was elected.
I see one failed presidential bid... and one on the horizon.

Reporters peppered Harris with questions about the Smollett case as she and Sharpton left lunch, which she did not respond to. Sharpton said they did not discuss the case at lunch (Just like the MSM)
Democratic presidential contender Kamala D. Harris broke her silence Thursday on the Jussie Smollett case, calling the apparent hoax disappointing and a distraction from fighting racism and homophobia.
The California senator said in a statement posted to Twitter that “part of the tragedy” is that Mr. Smollett’s story about being attacked by Trump supporters “has been seized by some who would like to dismiss and downplay” what she called “the very real problems that we must address.”
Saying that “we must not allow that,” Ms. Harris implied that despite being “sad, frustrated, and disappointed” by the turns in the Smollett case, she will not change her tune on what she saw at the beginning — she called the attack “a modern-day lynching” — and sees now as the more important matter.
“I will always condemn racism and homophobia. We must always confront hate directly,” she said.
