Simple minds...

the other shoe didn't just drop, it stepped in a dog shit taco.

you knew this crap had no legs when the usual race baiting suspects like the Rev's Al and Jesse wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole.

remember liberal posters, neither Al nor Jesse will call Trump a racist directly. since they are black, they are experts at racism! so Trump simply cannot be a racist! because Jesse and Al won't call him one.

so why do you and the press keep saying that blatant lie?

BAHHAA

Yep. all this clown did was crater his career AND cause the press to yet again jump off the cliff for any possible racist angle and get caught with egg on their faces. Again. But .. it's a THREAT to democracy when Trump calls them on their biased fake crap.

and he gave that whole LBQABCXYZT community a huge publicity black eye.

well done asshole!

Police: Two brothers told investigators they were paid by Jussie Smollett to stage attack

Aamer Madhani, USA TODAY 1 hour 31 minutes ago



Two Nigerian brothers told Chicago police investigators that they were paid by "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett to stage an attack on him, according to a person familiar with the situation but not authorized to speak publicly.

The person, who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the ongoing investigation, said police are attempting to interview Smollett again, so they can question him about the brothers' account.

Smollett, who is black and gay, said he was attacked while walking home through Chicago’s Streeterville neighborhood late last month. He told police masked men tied a noose around his neck, poured bleach on him and yelled homophobic slurs and “MAGA country!”

Police also found records in the Chicago home of one of the men that showed they purchased rope from a hardware store that was used in the alleged attack, the source told USA TODAY.

"We can confirm that the information received from the individuals questioned by police earlier in the Empire case has in fact shifted the trajectory of the investigation,” the Chicago Police Department said in a statement. “We've reached out to the Empire cast member's attorney to request a follow-up interview."

Police had questioned the two brothers earlier this week after taking them into custody at O'Hare International Airport upon returning from international travel. They initially classified the brothers as suspects in the Jan. 29 attack on Smollett.

Late Friday, the men were released from custody without charges. Anthony Guglielmi, Chicago police's chief spokesman, cited "new evidence” as the reason for the men's release.

An attorney for Smollett did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Earlier this week, Chicago’s ABC affiliate reported that investigators believed that Smollett staged the attack, because he was being written off the show.

FOX Entertainment and 20th Century FOX Television, which produces the Chicago-based family drama, pushed back against the notion that Smollett was being written off the show.

“The idea that Jussie Smollett has been, or would be, written off of 'Empire' is patently ridiculous. He remains a core player on this very successful series and we continue to stand behind him,” the statement said.

Since launching the investigation, police consistently described Smollett as a victim of an attack.

Asked by USA TODAY Saturday if investigators still believe Smollett was a victim of an attack, Guglielmi stopped short of categorizing how investigators currently view the actor.

"We have some new information that we would like to corroborate," he said.

Smollett said in an interview Thursday with ABC's "Good Morning America" that those doubting him "don't even want to see this is the truth."

"It feels like if I had said it was a Muslim, or a Mexican, or someone black, I feel like the doubters would’ve supported me a lot more, and that says a lot about the place that we are in our country right now,” he said.

HATE CRIME!

RACIST!

Not looking too good for Jussie. I understand filing a false police report in Illinois is a Class 4 felony.

To commit a hate crime today is really asking for a lot of trouble. No parole for Federal crimes.

I would be shocked if they file charges against him. Over the years, I've seen several incidents like this where it became obvious over time that the "hate crime" was an attention getting hoax, and no criminal charges were filled. So if this is a hoax or faked crime, I wouldn't expect charges.

Maybe the 2 Nigerians will sue somebody if they weren't involved. Were the perpetrators alleged to be black, anyway?

When a black person calls another black person the N-word, I thought that was legal?

We get the same bullshit from the right. Just not as high profile as this case. Don't pretend the right is squeaky clean. The biggest bald face lier on the right is in the white house.

I think that we should create a public registry of hate crime fakers, and make them wear a sign around their neck for thirty days apologizing for inflaming racial hatred.

This thread is an example of the Turd Reich’s campaign of creating false equivalency.

Not coincidentally at a time when the Reich desperately needs to feed the faithful red meat so they don’t pay attention to the real elephant in the room.

You should have taken the red pill...

4) the "#Metoo" times two dim-retard lieutenant governor who is still in office because he is a dim-retard and not a Republican?
5) the "black faced" dim-retard Attorney General who is still in office because he is a dim-retard and not a Republican?
6) or, the Jussie Smollett hoax that CNN ran with?

With all of this fake lib-retard outrage, it's difficult to see which fake "elephant in the room" you are referring to.
