A few suns have set since the slap-happy Will Smith made Chris Rock taste the inside of his palm, but people are still talking about it in one capacity or another.

One of the biggest things being spoken about is whether or not the entire thing was fake. There are a lot of reasons to think it was, but when you really break it all down…was it?

We discussed it a bit on RedState LIVE! where I put on my tinfoil cowboy hat and played devil’s advocate to weigh the possibility.

But what do you think? Was the entire thing a setup to bring more attention to a dying show or was this a genuine moment of anger that backfired? Let me know what you think.
