To orchestrate a crime or injustice against themselves to claim victimhood and for their personal gains, plus smearing their opponents. Originated from Empire actor Jussie Smollett, when he claimed that he got assaulted by two MAGA hat wearing white men, but later proved to be false after evidences surfaced that he is paying two Nigerian man to convict this “crime”
When Gary said that he got kicked out of a restaurant by a Trump supporting employee, everyone fell for it. However, all sympathy was lost when more evidences surfaced and he was Smolletting the whole time.
