Bill Maher Slams Jussie Smollett As A Gift To Fox News (And A Lousy Actor)
Deadline ^ | Greg Evans

Posted on 02/22/2019 10:54:24 PM PST by conservative98

“Fox News will dine out on this,” Maher said during the panel discussion on tonight’s Real Time with Bill Maher. Earlier in the show, during the opening monologue, Maher said, “Of course Fox News loves this story because it proves their stupid theory that racism is a hoax.”

Smollett, Maher said, “wanted to be a victim without going through all the steps…”

But Real Time guest Donna Brazile wasn’t having it. The former Chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee and co-author of For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Politics had a more straightforward theory about Smollett’s alleged false police report.

“He wanted a raise, he wanted a raise, he wanted a raise,” a furious Brazile said. “No one wants to be a victim of hate crimes, no one wants to be victim of being attacked and brutalized because you’re gay or black or Jewish. That’s bullsh*t. He wanted a pay raise and he wanted to bring attention to himself. I’m angry with him. I’m upset with him. He owes not only the city of Chicago an apology, but there are real, live victims out there today, and I refuse to shut up because he played a terrible game, and it’s painful.”

Not to be outdone, Maher got the final word on Smollett: “I saw Jussie’s interview with Robin Roberts,” the host said, “and he’s not a good actor.”

Makes perfect sense. But, lol, all about a raise?? They must think we are really stupid. Even the Chicago Police Chief is in on the “raise hoax”.

It's an obvious ploy to "de-escalate" the issue and make it less controversial, less about "race."

Regards,

he has such impeccable character and integrity that he tweeted Trump and called him a “n” word, deleted after the hoax attack according to Hotair:

and now he’s trying on the ‘I have a drug problem’ victim hat to see if that can fit. His friends/attackers gave him extacy he says. Not that a drug problem fits in well with the ‘impeccable character’ label either.

I suspect that most of the hoaxes were motivated both by political agendas and financial greed.

This particular one was foisted to get a bogus "lynching" law passed.

Check the phone records.

I’ve never seen one single episode of his show on HBO.

Game of Thrones however, can’t wait until April.

No one will do that and connect the dots to Kamala Harris and/or Corey Booker.

The Chicago PD (and the NSA) have his phone records. They have the name(s) of who the gay actor called prior to this hoax. Of course political pressure is being applied to keep the politicians names out of it.

Most likely suspect: Kamala Harris. Runner up: Corey Booker.

Check out Smollet's connections to Harris.

But of course, Smollet just wanted a raise.

Or does he have a drug addiction?

LYNCHING LAW.

_______________

What happens if the phone records of SMOLLETT leak? Who did he talk to multiple times prior to turning himself in? Political forces @ work?

I think he tried on the noose. He took the wrong advice.

The only thing worse is the opposition not screaming in unison and with one voice that the real reason Smollett staged the hoax is unreasonable hate for the president to the point of trying to frame and ruin and imprison any white unlucky enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time that night.

The “opposition” in this country is worse than the democrat establishment and their propaganda peddlers at MSNBC, CNN, Fox Noose etc

He never even axed for a raise. (Nothing says, “I need a raise” like staging a fake hate crime.)

He is lying. This was done purely to slam all Trump supporters. I believe Kamala &/or the Obamas had something to do with this.

How, except for liberal racism, does Donna Brazile have any credibility whatsoever given her own “hoax” about forwarding debate questions to Hillary Clinton in 2016? She denied her involvement until it became so obvious that she had to confess. Remember how she played the race card and then the gender card and finally the Christian card??? LIAR LIAR LIAR

She should be a television pariah.

The scumbag narcissist faggot would have been just fine if some white guys had gotten locked up for his hoax and the country was further thrown into a shithole of identity politics. People would have likely been seriously hurt or killed in the riots that would follow. All the other blacks can say is, my, I’m sad that this happened. Liberals like this fool Maher are worried Fox news will get a bump. Some of them think this is a game. This had the potential to light the fuse, and the left is sad that it may be a hoax. Who can’t see who the enemy is here?

The more they insist “he wanted a raise”, the less I think this was about a raise.

It’s something a known liar said about the motive for a crime after lying about the crime for weeks. Nobody can have confidence that he’s telling the truth about the motive.

Right. She's an old time Dem who knew how to work the men in the party. She was a regular night crawler for the Dem. machine back in her early years ..... quite the play girl.

Now........ she's just a lying old rat.
