“This is where cancel culture get’s in the mix,” Smith said, “I’m very fond of Jerry Jones, and I don’t hide that from anyone. Is his record perfect? No, but I’m pissed because he doesn’t deserve what just happened. Our report said he was 14. Another report said he was 15. At the very least, that’s 65 years ago,”
