Sunday on his MSNBC show, “PoliticsNation,” Al Sharpton called on “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett to “face accountability to the maximum” if he staged a hate crime that he could blame on white President Donald Trump supporters to show they are homophobic and racist.

Sharpton pointed out his reaction to the story when it first came out when he said the perpetrators should “suffer the maximum,” saying Smollett should do the same if he created the hoax.

The guy who caused so much grief over the Tawana Brawley hoax cannot be taken seriously. I bet he was just trolling the right wing.

They should have read the first thread on FR about the incident. Most of US had it pegged from the start.

For me, there was just too much 'savory' embellishment to the story. In a more recent thread, I posted that Smollet should have stuck to the ole K.I.S.S. principle - Keep It Simple, Stupid!

The most outrageous thing sharpton did in the tawana case was accusing the dutchess county DA, pagones, of raping her!

Hasn’t he ever heard the saying “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery”? He should feel honored.

Smollett just followed the red cap and the media and politicians fell for it hook, line and sinker. The Covington boys wore their red hats on Jan 18. Then Smollett planned his red cap attack on 28th like 10 days later. All he was missing was an Indian with a drum. Fools...
