'EMPIRE' STAR JUSSIE SMOLLETT VICTIM OF HOMOPHOBIC ATTACK By MAGA Supporters
TMZ ^ | January 29, 2019

Posted on 01/29/2019 9:54:07 AM PST by EdnaMode

"Empire" star Jussie Smollett was brutally attacked by 2 men who beat him up, put his head in a noose and screamed, "This is MAGA country."

Sources directly connected to Jussie tell TMZ, the actor arrived in Chicago from New York late Monday, and at around 2 AM he was hungry and went to a Subway. We're told when he walked out, someone yelled, "Aren't you that f***ot 'Empire' n*****?"

The 2 men -- both white and wearing ski masks -- viciously attacked Jussie as he fought back, but they beat him badly and fractured a rib. They put a rope around his neck, poured bleach on him and as they left they yelled, "This is MAGA country."

Jussie was taken to Northwestern Memorial where he was treated. He was discharged later Tuesday morning.

ThatGrapeJuice.Net first posted this letter which was sent to Fox Studios in Chicago with cut out letters spelling, "You will die black f**." Our sources say the letter was sent 8 days ago.

The envelope the letter arrived in appears to say MAGA in the upper left corner.

Law enforcement sources tell us Chicago PD is investigating the incident as a battery and the police tell us they are treating the incident as a possible hate crime.

“MAGA supporters in Chicago, yeah right. Pull the other one.”

MAGA supporters who go out in sub-freezing temperatures to commit hate crimes? Really how gullible does the MSM think we are?

THis report says ”he was taken” to the hospital. The first news report I heard said he ‘transported himself” to the hospital.”

That’s a commentary on the Left. That said, I hope they catch the guys that did it and prosecute.

2 white guys in masks just happened to be waiting outside the Subway and they had a noose and a bottle of bleach.

Uhhhh! That doesn’t sound sensible or reasonable.

Jussie may need to revised and extend his allegations.

Auto-erotic-afixiation gone wrong is all. No witnesses and drove himself to hospital.

This is so wrong. There is not one shread of trueth to this. So they are saying that a gay black man was recognized by two white guys because of his black tv show. And it was on a Chicago subway where democrats control about 80% of the vote.
This is a lie. He was probably hurt by back guys at a gay bar. Or he was robbed by black guys. But he was not hurt by MAGA hat wearing white guys on a Chicago City subway. Not one chance in hell.

This guy was walking around downtown Chicago at 2:00 am. Everyone else who gets rolled at that hour in Chicago, is being mugged by two black guys. Its common. Whats not common is anyone in the downtown of a 40% black city, being mugged or even seeing someone in a MAGA hat.

99% sure the incident either didn’t happen as described, or was another false flag by Soros’s minions. 1% chance that it was as described, in which case the obvious needs to be pointed out - the two attackers in no way represent the behavior of the vast majority of MAGA supporters.

Do you have a link to this? I don’t see it and have a debate going on a different site with people who are absolutely convinced that this is a hate crime by masked “MAGA supporters.”

From the DB: A Chicago Police spokesperson told The Daily Beast that the attackers’ genders are unknown, and that their faces and hands had been covered. TMZ reported that the attackers shouted “This is MAGA country,” but police told the Beast, “There is no report of that being said.”

11:18 AM PT — We’re told cops recently visited a Target Department Store close to where the incident happened and obtained surveillance footage. Our source says the video shows one person — presumably Jussie — walking down the street. Officers also visited a nearby apartment building to ask for video.

I've noticed that CNN, Chicago Sun Times, and NYT are now reporting this story without a description of the attackers or any mention of MAGA.

Hmm... Imagine that.

Probably happened. But it was done by leftists, not actual Trump supporters. It will come out as a hoax or false leftist flag; just like everything else.
Only problem is the f’ing media won’t print the correction and follow up story.

I just noticed on NBC news. They reported it and made a big deal out of it. First called it a possible hate crime then later claimed it as a hate crime as if there were no doubt.

When it is determined to be fake they will not report it.

FYI...

Chicago Police Deny Claim That Jussie Smollett Identified Attackers as White, Heard Them Say 'MAGA'

This story is so perfect he is obviously covering something up. I’m guessing rough sex with a bar room hookup or a male prostitute who doesn’t take VISA/MC/AMEX.
