Jussie Smollett’s sisters, actresses and activists, Jurnee Smollett-Bell, and Jazz Smollett-Warwell, worked as leading campaign surrogates for former President Barack Obama, and less than a year ago, videos of Jussie dancing with Michelle Obama went viral.

Jussie Smollett’s “hate crime” story that he was attacked by two men who shouted racial and homophobic slurs at him along with the phrase “This is MAGA country”, on Jan. 29, seems to be falling apart.

According to his account, a strange chemical was thrown upon him and a rope was put around his neck. .

“Two law enforcement sources with knowledge of the investigation tell CNN that Chicago Police believe actor Jussie Smollett paid two men to orchestrate an assault on him that he reported late last month.

“We have a local formerly conservative radio station that fired its actual conservative talk show hosts and now talks about “both sides” all the time.”

You should call in and say “The liberals should learn not to lie, and the conservatives need to learn to not trust a liberal.”

L/E didn’t believe Smollet’s attackers screamed, “This is MAGA country,” because, not a single Trump supporter watches Empire.

“Elementary, my dear Watson.”


As one FR pundit posted: the supply of racism and bigotry does not even come close to the demand for it......by idiots like Smollett craving “victimhood.”

THIS JUST IN-----PAGE SIX-----NY POST

Almost immediately after what he told cops was a violent, anti-gay and racist attack, “Empire” star Jussie Smollett insisted on going on TV to tell his story, The Post has learned. Smollett was “adamant” that he wanted to appear on ABC’s Good Morning America, said one source with knowledge of the GMA booking decision.

Smollett's case took a dark turn Saturday night, when Chicago police told Fox that they now believe Smollett paid two pals to fake the crime. “When Kim Kardashian was the victim of that horrific burglary in Paris, she closed down, she gave no interviews for months."

“But Jussie was adamant; he wanted TV right away. He simply could not wait to vilify Pres Trump. He raised his voice, saying, ‘I need to do this right now. I’m a black gay man and people need to know what happened to me. I want to tell my story.’ He wanted media right away.”

Betcha he can turn those tears on and off......whenever needed.

During his Feb. 14 appearance, Smollett tearfully told GMA's Robin Roberts about being beaten about the head and berated with racist and homophobic insults. Threatened by the two strangers he said were white, and shouting "This is MAGA country n-----er."

===========================================

Did Smollet's publicist believe his whacked-out story, or was he in on the scheme to vilify Trump?

Do not knock mayonnaise sandwiches, especially with bacon. And why would the Bureau of Land Management attack you?

TripAdvisor quotes Chicago to Lagos, Nigeria at prices ranging from about $850 to $1,100.

The red flags would be waiving, if these gents paid in cash, so how were the tickets purchase, when, and by whom?

Did these fellows fiddle on the internet while enroute?

Courtesy of our whacked-out immigration laws.....US taxpayers foot the travel bills of these "poor refugees" claiming "asylum"
from violence in their home countries. "Asylum" also gets them hefty monthly SS checks.

AND THIS

Minneapolis taxpayers must pay public housing rent for Somalis that spend their income on travel to Somalia
American Thinker | October 2, 2016 | Thomas Lifson / FR Posted by detective

What a deal! Immigrate to the United States, and if you spend your gravy train freebies (from countless welfare and refugee programs) on travel to Somalia instead of paying your rent in public housing, suckered taxpayers of Minneapolis pick up the travel tab. The Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports (via Refugee Resettlement Watch):

Public housing residents in Minneapolis will no longer need to pay their normal monthly rent when travel abroad erases their income, a change particularly sought by Somalis----East African immigrants.

The board of the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority approved this week reverting to its previous policy of collecting only minimal rent during extended absences. The change takes effect once approved by federal housing officials, which is expected by year’s end.

Just plenty of questions surrounding this case and the ball of twine (or rope) that is unravelling.
