Jussie Smollett 'pissed off' that some doubt his attack: 'It's the truth'
EW ^ | February 13, 2019

Posted on 02/13/2019 1:05:44 PM PST by SMGFan

Jussie Smollett has some strong words for anybody who doubts he was the victim of a hate crime in Chicago last month.

The Empire actor tells Robin Roberts at Good Morning America in an advance preview of his upcoming interview that he’s “pissed off” by suggestions that he might not have been truthful in his police report.

“What is it that has you so angry? Is it the…attackers?” Roberts asked.

“Attackers, but it’s also the attacks,” Smollett replied. “It’s like, you know, at first, it was a thing of, like, ‘Listen, if I tell the truth then that’s it, ’cause it’s the truth.’ Then it became a thing of like, ‘Oh, how can you doubt that? Like, how do you — how do you not believe that? It’s the truth.’ And then it became a thing of like, ‘Oh, it’s not necessarily that you don’t believe that this is the truth, you don’t even want to see the truth.'”

I don’t know about you, but I always go out for a lynching when its 20 below zero. Its important to dress warmly, and not forget your mittens or face mask, although your hot-blooded passion might help warm you. And, wear warm socks.

Also, your bleach solution should be kept next to your body so it doesn’t freeze before you can throw it on your lynchee.

Bleach freezes solid, at a higher temp than it was at 2:00 AM that night. It would NOT have even come out of a glass bottle, but rather, would have burst a glass bottle! So forget about any evidence of “bleach” having been thrown!

Also, make sure to delicately and perhaps lovingly put the very thin clothesline “noose” around the victim’s neck so it doesn’t break. Don’t want to smush the victim’s sandwich either, so take great care to only do some mild feather like “shoving.”

I saw the police report today. Says nothing about MAGA or Trump or even race. Those were added later to the evolving story.

LOL...too right!

OTOH, having lived through such temps ( though I was NEVER out at 2:00 AM ) in Chicago, with the wind whipping off Lake Michigan and/or the Chicago River, I can tell you that wearing a balaclava isn't enough.You also need to wrap a heavy wool scarf around your neck and face, over it, so that you don't freeze your lungs by just breathing. Yelling is out of the question and biting is as well!

You always know what an SJW or any other variety of leftist is guilty of by that of which he accuses others.

.........his (cough) "attackers" absconded.....but left him with a cellphone so that he could call the police..........

Heh....n-i-c-e catch. Watta phoney.

He told police he was on the phone when "attacked".......but refused to give them the phone.

....when he finally gave up the phone to the police, he had heavily redacted the sections considered crucial to his case.

His "attackers" didn't steal his phone, take his sandwich, and he didn't drop either/both when he supposedly "fought them off"?

... but did he get that sandwich toasted? That's what I want to know.

My favorite part is how a reporter from the New York Post found the bottle and pointed it out the cops.
