ABC show, actually.
yep. Just like Rachel Dolezals assertion that I identify as black was accepted as a teachable moment on race, this idiots fraud will be justified as behavior incited by Trump and his racist supporters.
Awwww. He’s “devastated”. Now he knows what it’s like when some punk plays the race card on you and calls you a racist.
He would look fabulous in an orange jumpsuit like Clintoon always wears.
An orange jumpsuit with his nickname printed on the back. DOC.
“....nothing good ever happens after 12 PM.”
You just go and look for who is hanging out...the number of folks on drugs...and the level of assaults/robbery. Even in rural areas of the US, I would suggest there’s problems even there.
Fox News has been NOT been giving Smollet cover on this. They have been reporting it as a possible hoax for several days.
To the Left, he will always be a victim. Even now, theyll say hes the victim of a horrible society that would compell him to do such a thing.
Good point, it was the very “politically charged” aspects which ensured an intensive police investigation. ALso, Jussie was nowhere near as clever as he imagined, it was a really stupid hoax.
Give him a Snickers
This has to be the perfect ironic comment for this whole sordid mess..... Jussie anticipated his own hoax 3 years ago.
He’s here, he’s queer, and he’s in your face.
devastated
The entire charade is collapsing and he’s being exposed as a fraud. Yeah, I bet he’s devastated.
Hell, he could now make millions with a Subway ad!"
Here's the script.
"You can bleach me, you can lynch me, you can call me a fag but I'll never give up my Subway!"
