Good day all. I\u2019ve been watching this story develop over the last few weeks, but have held back from commenting. The story concerns an alleged \u201cRacist attack\u201d on an actor who is black and gay. Now it appears that this actor faked the whole thing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The actor in question is Jussie Smollett, and he plays a character on the TV show \u201cEmpire.\u201d Let me state now that I\u2019ve never watched Empire and until now, never heard of Jussie Smollett. As I unerstand it, he claimed to have been attacked by someone or someone\u2019s wearing MAGA hats and screaming \u201cThis is MAGA country!\u201d Of course, this was also in Chicago, which is anything but Trump country. The Chicago Police Department started investigating but ran into problems. To begin with, there was no surveillance footage of the attack anywhere. There were other problems, and now the Chicago PD is looking at Smollett, not as a victim, but as a perpetrator. Here are the details from Fox News<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n

A Chicago police spokesperson on Saturday said “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett is no longer considered a victim in the case that allegedly involved an attack by two masked men who shouted racial and anti-gay slurs at the actor and, “This is MAGA country!” <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Police earlier said that the “trajectory of the investigation” shifted and that they wanted to conduct another interview with Smollett<\/a> about the alleged hate crime last month. Police released two Nigerian brothers<\/a> who were held for questioning about the reported attack. They were released late Friday without charges. <\/b><\/p>\n

“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,” Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement. “We’ve reached out to the Empire cast member’s attorney to request a follow-up interview.” <\/b><\/p>\n

In other words, these two rolled over on Smollett and tossed him under the bus. Not surprising, considering they would like to remain in the United States, (I\u2019m assuming they followed the rules and came her lawfully), and getting busted on conspiracy charges is a good way to get booted out.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Police have said they were investigating the attack as a possible hate crime and earlier considered Smollett a victim. Reports of the assault drew outrage and support for him on social media, including from U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris of California and TV talk show host Ellen DeGeneres. <\/b><\/p>\n

I wonder what these moonbats will say of Smollett is indicted and arrested? I suspect he will be very rapidly flushed down the old Memory hole.<\/p>\n
