For those older and may not watch the series Empire... But he came out and said he was attacked by two white guys wearing MAGA hats that beat him, yelled racist shit and then put a noose around his neck. No one goes around wearing a MAGA hat in Chicago yelling "THIS IS TRUMP country!" And most people don't even know anything about the connotation of the rope, noose, etc... Reminded me of that Muslim girl in NYC saying MAGA wearing white guys attacked her... On a subway... during a day... no witnesses... Yah ok. That smelled like bullshit all the way to Ukraine. We then had a massive "OMG TRUMP AND PENCE ARE MAKING THIS POSSIBLE!" bullshit. Here's the gay B actress Ellen Page: We also had Kamalalalala Harris state this was a public case of lynching. Now? It was staged by him when he hired two NIGERIAN men. Jussie Smollett did a massive disservice to the real victims of hate crimes.

Well, now they've shifted gears into full-blown "I'M STILL THE VICTIM HERE!" stage 2, where Liberal mouthpieces like SE Cupp are now trying to claim "Trumpsters" are too giddy that this WAS a hoax.
It's NEVER a Liberal's fault.
It's NEVER the MSM's fault.
Ever.

Just saw that and I had to double check the URL to make sure it wasn't The Onion.

And now he’s officially a suspect, according to Chicago police. They even released a video showing the brothers buying a red hat, ski masks, etc.

Not even kidding here. HE WENT TO WORK on "EMPIRE" after posting bail. Only in Hollywood would someone like that retain their job.

When the story first broke it was initially socially treated as true and there was widespread shock and outrage with extensive, really extensive, media coverage. (Both social, fringe and mainstream.) OK, now seriously, imagine at that point we change the narrative a bit. Let us assume exactly the same story but let make our celebrity white and instead of being called a nigger he was called a white pig or some slur against whites. Let us also assume everything else in the story remains the same. How much of a story would this have been?
Now, separately, to sweeten the pot lets make our celebrity victim white and straight.
Back to the reality of what's actually happened so far. If this guy isn't fired from his current gig it will be a miscarriage of social justice.

It was announced this morning that he's been removed for the final two episodes of the season. Still employed pending the trial.

I don't watch Empire, but I've been following this crazy story. I wonder about Smollett's IQ level! Ellen Page is from Halifax, Nova Scotia. She's definitely not qualified to talk about any of this.
