Police on Wednesday picked up two men at O’Hare Airport and questioned them about the alleged assault. TMZ reported that a raid of the men’s residences produced five bottles of bleach, a red hat, two laptops and other items. It had been reported that the substance poured on Smollett might have been bleach.

Family members of the two men said they left for their native Nigeria on the day of the alleged attack. Police kept tabs on their whereabouts and were waiting for them when they returned to Chicago on Wednesday.

Police said the two men are the same ones captured on a surveillance video screen grab on the night of the alleged attack.

On of the Nigerians he “worked with” was reported to have an attempted murder charge that was pled down to assault.

Smollet said that “right wingers” attacked him. This is the first time I’ve understood that Trump is so popular in Kenya.

You’d have to be a total moron to think that his “MAGA country” part of the story was the slightest bit credible.

It reminds me very much of the claim that was made by Abner Louima that he was attacked by police officers who were screaming "it's Giuliani time!" as they assaulted him.

He'll be forgiven by his supporters, of course. He won't be held responsible for his actions, not guilty because of temporary insanity, or even more not guilty because it could have happened, you know.

They'll say Being gay and black in Trump's America is too stressful for any human to keep their sanity!

Yes, father.

Forgive me...I am chastened.

I forgot myself for a brief moment, actually thinking that I, too, can post opinions and rants as I see fit.

I won't do it again, as I bow to your superior sign-up date.

Yes! When you’re committing a hate-crime, that’s the perfect time to put in a plug for your favorite politician.

I ‘like’ how the title is formed as a question, as if there is still some doubt.
