hats

Jussie Smollett denies having said anything about MAGA hats:

"“I never said that,” he said. “I didn’t need to add anything like that. They called me a f****t, they called me a n****r. There’s no which way you cut it. I don’t need some MAGA hat as the cherry on some racist sundae.”
***
Smollett said it took police about 30 minutes to respond.

During that time, the star said, he checked himself, saw his bruises and smelled bleach, so he left his clothes on as well as the rope around his neck."

He said he suspects the motive related to his outspoken opposition to President Trump. Since he had reportedly published his location and destination on the World Wide Web, it seems possible that he might have been tracked down by persons who felt some sort of animosity against him for whatever reason.

I do not have any information about what happened, so I am not placing any bets. The facts require investigation to determine what happened and why. There should be physical evidence to corroborate (or not) the accusations. For example, I don't know exactly how long 'bruises' take to appear in those circumstances, or whether he might have meant 'abrasions' instead of 'bruises'. The story does not sound like a misunderstanding, so someone did something wrong: either an attack or a false report; I presume innocence until more evidence emerges.

Vicious, racist, cowardly attack on actor #JussieSmollett can not be tolerated or ignored. Every relevant law enforcement agency must begin an intense investigation of horrifying allegations. A noose? In 2019? In Chicago? @realDonaldTrump must order an immediate federal probe.

Yep, federal probe for an alleged rough up of a famous guy. Ignore the 32 murders that have already happened in Chicago so far this year.

I’m impressed CNN followed up on this story:

I’ll consider this my birthday present :)

Seeing fake Leftist hoaxers exposed and soon going to jail gives me the warm and fuzzies!

Hopefully that includes innocence of white america which has been on trial since the hoax began. I know you’re particularly sensitive to gay rights and and such, but stuff like this is really bad for the gay community.

It’s the boy who cried wolf. Next time a gay man gets beat up and there’s no video footage, people are going to roll their eyes and talk about “pulling a Smollet.”

My view...

If the attack was real, the perpetrators would have received a particular punishment.

Jussie should receive the exact same punishment for the divisive lie.

It’s particularly egregious what he did given today’s political climate

haha, the attack was never real. Dude has a scratch on his eye. If you get jumped by two guys, you'll be in rough shape. If you got jumped by two guys that were jacked like those Nigerians, you'd be in the hospital for weeks.

BayArea says

It’s particularly egregious

Now that's a $5 word

He should be fined or jailed.

Why are there no consequences for fake crimes. Woman can frivolously accuse man of rape just to get a free shot at him, this asshole staged a fake crime blaming whites.

This shit needs heavy jail time.

I cannot imagine this dude keeping his job. If they were planning to write him off the show before, it seems a certainty now. Maybe they will have his character killed off.

I wonder if this Jussie Smollett story will now disappear from the news faster than the Virginia Gov and Lt Gov blackface/rape issues.

CORRECT.
From Brett Kavanaugh to Covington Catholic, to Gillette razors and the #JussieSmollettHoax... it is UNDENIABLE that white, straight males have become the new target of acceptable hate and racism.

ALL racism is unacceptable and Jussie should go to prison. https://t.co/4d92ybedbV— Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) February 17, 2019

But Worst of all, he called himself the "Gay Tupac", which is just silly.

Could we also take bets on the odds Potus will actually tell the truth for one 24 hour period ?

The TDS NEVER stops!

Who's truth? Seems like lots of folks prefer politician speak....Talk for an hour and don't say anything conclusive. Like lawyer-speak.

ROTFLMFAO

Race baiting huckstersz. We should not let anyone forget this like they did with President Obama’s “if I had a son” fake bullshit.

24 minute period, while he's asleep and you might get some takers

President Trump didn’t falsely accuse some black gay liberal of tying a noose around his neck, pouring bleach on him, and punching him while yelling “this is lib country”

If he did, I would come down as hard on him as I am coming down on Jussie. And there would be no need for the argument you make above.

Smollett needs to apologize to white people and Trump supporters for villifying them with his racist hoax and fostering hatred against the innocent.

Grand jury set to decide the indictment!
Police want to get this mother fucker. They’re being cagey as fuck whilst trying to lure him in.

This Idiot needs to be the first person hung on the Anti Lynching law his Hoax inspired.

A big CONGRATULATIONS to Jussie Smollett for becoming entry number 349 on FakeHateCrimes.org.

Funny how fast that disappears from left wing news. They were hoping to play it through elections.

Jussie Smollette charged with Class 4 Felony, awaiting Bail.

Probably all the CPD could do given the Dem Mayor, Pols, and DA putting pressure on not to charge.

They waited until they got the phone/text records, even though they already had a great case. It was too iron-clad for Chiraq Democrat pressure to stop.

I wonder what our favorite Liberal posters feel about this?

Somehow, they'll try to blame Trump for this, right?

@Kakistocracy what do you think?

Oh boy, what will the liberals think now?

How much jail time for this felony?

His Motive was purely financial:

"Empire" actor Jussie Smollett turned himself in to police Thursday morning, a Chicago police spokesman said, on a felony charge of disorderly conduct in filing a false police report.

Police said in a press conference hours later that Smollett sent a fake letter to himself and staged a hate crime attack in Chicago because he was "dissatisfied with his salary."

"This announcement today recognizes that 'Empire' actor Jussie Smolett took advantage of the pain and anger of racism to promote his career. I'm left hanging my head and asking why," Chicago Police Supt. Eddie Johnson said.

Get the media broom ready! No "conversation" or "explainers" about this one, minimal coverage, get it under the rug, ASAP!

Left will just ignore it and pretend it never happened.
