'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.

This sounds too ridiculous to be taken at face value...

Honestly 2 folks just roaming around in ski masks with a noose looking for a semi famous african american homosexual to beat up??

This has the smell of staged or hoax all over it.

Could it be legitimate? Yes, but it sure smells awfully funny.

Chicago is MAGA country? Trump won 12.5% of the vote in Chicago.

Two men just casually sitting around in ski masks at the Subway on a normal evening and no one but the victim seemed to notice or care?!? Sure -— tell me another tale.

So we’re to believe these two perps were just waiting around at 2 am in the freezing cold with bleach and a rope for this guy to magically appear.

I believe this story just as much as I believe the CNN reporter who just happened to show up to tape the SWAT raid on Stone.

Who? I don’t believe him. All the dialog sounds as though it was written by the same person. The probability of such an episode is low.

Skip ahead to the day we confirm this is a lie.
He will say what? “I just wanted to start the discussion!”
He figures there will be no downside to throwing out such fables.

Yup. I usually roam the streets at 2am with my white MAGA buddy, carrying ski masks and bleach, just waiting for a black man to brutalize.

Pure BS.

How many MAGA Americans watch that television show or have ever heard of Jussie Smollett?

Could this be another hate crime coax? The source (ThatGrapeJuice.Net) seems fishy. And it sounds like the left's stereotype of Trump supporters. If they're so racist/homophobic, why are they watching Empire to begin with or even know he's gay?

This is so over the top that I don't believe it for a minute.

I posted a duplicate about the same time you were posting this article that I asked the mods to remove.

The truth is probably somewhere along the lines of coming on to the wrong dudes in a late night bar and getting his ass kicked.

It sounds like the media’s new stereotype is a MAGA hat. It used to be White Rednecks in a pickup and a Confederate flag.

> “MAGA Supporters”
I bet the writer would be shocked to find out what some “Hillary supporters” have done. /sarc
And would no doubt point out that just because they support her doesn’t mean she supports them.
And would NEVER include the term “Hillary supporter” in a headline describing a crime. It’s wrong to associate the criminals with the 99.99% of supporters who disagree with what they did.

White guys, in ski masks (but also wearing MAGA hats), with a rope (pre-made noose) and a bottle of bleach happens across a celebrity, alone, in a place where there are no witnesses....

Oh, no, that seems totally legit. (rolls eyes here)

CNN was on location before LEO arrived, but only by about 20 minutes so they could get their equipment set up.
