Yes, this reason is phony, and I think the Breitbart headline sort of implies that (who would be dissatisfied with that salary, especially a nobody like Smollett). I think Smollett living in Chicago as well as being politically connected made him a good choice for Harris and Co. to carry out this nonsense. In the end, having it happen in Chicago virtually assures that it will be swept under the rug and forgotten since Democrats control that region with an iron fist.

“This is probably also a lie. An excuse to cover the truth. He did it to help Kamala. I can just feel it.”

That is the real truth! He is lying again

If you were a Hollywood liberal producer and needed a black gay actor, would one who was recently beat up by racist homophobic Trump supporters be the guy you would call?


There are so many things in that sentence that I have no experience or understanding with. If there is some kind of logic I need to follow I don’t see it.

I know, which is why he is living there. The location is the main thing here - Chicago has been connected to several FF-type events. It's an area Democrats control, so little worry about any real investigation taking place. Smollett will take one for the team, and in the end will probably just get a slap on the wrists.

That’s some kinda twisted logic! Especially considering the history of hate crime hoaxes. Or maybe he forgot to Google that...

> “A single individual”

Gotta make sure nobody asks if this was an organized effort to whip up anger at Trump supporters and provide a good “story” for D candidates in the next election.

It was a “single individual” who wanted to be paid more. Nothing else, so don’t ask.

On one hand, his Empire salary has a good chance of going to $0.

On the other hand, he’s going to end up a hero to the left. He took a hit to fight “fascism”. I don’t think he’ll be missing too many meals in the future.

Hoping his salary on empire is cut to 0, and he is jailed and fined and black listed in Hollywood.

chicagoans re-elected the mayor and they keep putting dems on the city council. They get what they deserve. This police superintendent makes more sense than I’ve heard come out of chicago in 30 years.

You’re right. This had nothing to do about money. He had a well known hate for Trump, and I think he had RAT leaders in the shadows supporting him in the hopes this would set off a race war! Folks, we’re dealing with people who want to get rid of those who disagree with them. They’re playing for keeps and too many on our side want to find common ground with them! Be so thankful that Smollett’s plans failed. This could have turned very ugly very fast, but what should concern all of us is the left is not going to stop attempting something like this again. Smollett failed and they’ll throw him under the bus, yet they’ll try again to invoke a race war as they tried to in Ferguson, Mo and Sanford, FL!

Nonsense, he wanted to smear Trump and his supporters.

We cannot let them get away with this lie.

If this was a white man or woman accusing black men the country would be in a uproar saying that black were victims in this hoax.

But if white people are victims it's just ok?

I once saw a youtube video about “stars that destroyed their career in a single move.” They can add one to the list, and it may be the most famous.
