Al Sharpton, on the sidelines of a meeting with Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, said Thursday that “Empire” star Jussie Smollett should face "accountability to the maximum" if the actor indeed staged an attack last month initially described as a hate crime.

“Whoever is wrong should pay the maximum. If Smollett is wrong, he ought to face accountability to the maximum,” the cable news host and activist told a throng of reporters on Thursday, after lunching with Sen. Harris at Sylvia’s, a landmark restaurant in New York City’s Harlem neighborhood.

No conviction.

No criticism by the media.

Turn yourself in, Rev Al, for the Tawana Brawley fraud in which you played a major part.

I’ve noticed the “Justice Brothers” have been mighty quiet.

I wonder why? Why did they decide Jussie's not worth it?

Maybe because there are bigger things at risk?

Then again, if Kamala Harris is actually involved, throwing Jussie under the bus might make him think about telling all.

Some people just don’t know when to STFU.

Sharpton commenting on this, Blumenthal lecturing us on lying, Hillary lecturing us, BO talking about manhood or lack of it, Jessie Jackson on extortion etc etc etc.

OTOH, I guess we could say they know what they are talking about as they themselves are ‘guilty’.

"Sharpton, at meeting with Kamala Harris, says Smollett should face ‘maximum’ punishment if allegations true"

That, right there is proof that smollett did not act alone.

I'm curious who paid his bond.

At least Tawana was a kid and trying to stay out of trouble with her stepfather. It was Sharpton that made the “Tawana Brawley Story” into something big.

Smollett, OTOH, did this all on his own.

A Bail Bondsman I’m sure. He just had to come up with 10%, $10,000.
