I still say there is communication between him and Kamala.

Add this to Harris' Federal Lynching bill.

Why this got passed, I'll never know. I believe it was submitted aboput 100 times over the years.

Note: The last lynching was in 1981...and the guy was dead before they hung him in a tree....so it wasn't really a lynching.

FYI, my hometown in Upstate NY had a murder case circa 1830...the first capital case in the area. The perp was hung.

I agree and she will come out soon as she figures out "how to" blame Repubs.

She will be the "compassionate" woman....saying that our history had such an effect on Smollett...that he wanted to tell a story.....blah, blah, blah.

And she needs his base....

GET YOUR INDUSTRIAL-STRENGTH BARF BAG READY-—YOU’RE GONNA NEED IT

Hoaxer Smollett came out as gay during a televised interview with Ellen DeGeneres in March 2015.

In a 2016 interview with Out magazine, Smollett clarified his sexual orientation by stating “If I had to label myself, I would label myself as a gay man.” However, he stated his belief that openness to love is more important than gender, revealing that “If I fall in love down the road with a woman, I’m going to love that woman.”

As a boy, Smollett had some romantic interest in girls. When Smollett’s gay character Jamal Lyon from Empire engaged in a tryst with a female character, Smollett defended the plot development by stating that he and Empire creator Lee Daniels were trying to create a conversation about sexual fluidity in the gay community.

Daniels has stated that “Jussie and I both share the same feeling that, yes, even though we are gay, we’re sexual human beings. And we do occasionally want to sleep with a woman.” Daniels stated that “We’re showing life on Empire”, in that both he and Smollett were incorporating their own sexual fluidity as gay men into Empire.

Here's what Smollet told the unblinking Robin Roberts on ABC's GMA.

Smollett reinvented himself as an especially fierce kind of victim...a cool hero. “I fought the f**k back,” he told Roberts.

The self-important Smollett is somewhat of a wannabe preacher----his Tweets counsel about matters of spirit, skepticism, and persistence.
His mother---(Maxine Waters says is her friend)---associated with the Black Panthers and activist Angela Davis.

A born self-promoter, Smollett has identified proudly with the radical black activist tradition.

Looks to me like Jussie is now officially a piece of shite and has now lost all of the double protected status of an Afro homosexual ....

it’s takes monumental stupidity to parley such advantages into dog poop ...

Not only is this azzhole a flaming gay leftist hater, the hoax was a stunt to get a role in a play and bump his salary on his show.

I wonder if he mentioned that it was The Democrat Party that created the Ku Klux Klan and lynching.

Blowed up for sure.

Except, watch how it will be spun and massaged.

Jussie just wanted publicity is the first narrative.

Harris is too dumb to lay low with the hate crime lynching talk.

Does that mean he won’t get a raise?

Does it also mean that Hussein Obama might not call Jussie anymore?

I'm pretty sure that Harris won't be calling anymore either.
