.@AOC is only speaking facts. This is so far beyond political party affiliation. Across the world...no matter the border...from sea to shining sea...45 and all his white hooded cohorts are a national disgrace. And if you support them...so are you. Clowns.

I wonder if CNN will be there when a swat team raids Jussie Smollett’s house at 2am in the morning, and brings him out in cuffs.

Too late, Juicy boy. Everyone knows you lied. Now stop digging before you make things any worse for yourself.

How much hate and prejudice does one have to have in order to make up false accusations against people who don’t look like you or share your political views (i.e. targeting white Trump supporters)? White people are a minority in the world, a shrinking minority, yet they are the target of hate by a growing number of people.

I’ve been browsing the comments sections of the original news articles.

It’s fun!

Funny, the use the phrase “apparent attack” instead of “alleged”. No bias at all

Chicago cops would typically go after false statement folks, but I’m not sure if the city prosecutor wants to get into this business. He might just request that Smollett remove the statement.

Course, having this staged attack take place by two Nigerian guys...saying they were MAGA folks, presents an interesting ad for the 2020 election. If Smollett doesn’t detract the statement, and the Prosecutor just tries to forget it.... then you have a five-star 30-second advertisement for the Trump campaign in the state.
