on the innocent.
The FCC obviously supports the airwave to solicit murder.

Empire star Jesse Smollett was brutally attacked early Tuesday morning in Chicago in what police have suggested could be deemed a hate crime due to Smollett being gay and the assailants allegedly hurling homophobic and racist slurs.
However, one such claim that has not yet been substantiated was the notion that the alleged perpetrators either wore Make America Great Again (MAGA) hats or shouted “this is MAGA country” to Smollett as he was beaten, doused in bleach, and had a noose tied around his neck. Despite that, the 1:00 p.m. Eastern edition of MSNBC Live mentioned it anyway.
Co-hosts Stephanie Ruhle appropriately called it a“horrible” story and “terrible attack” “to report.” National correspondent Miguel Almaguer agreed, noting the attack’s “disturbing” nature, but then provided the MAGA hat detail about the alleged perpetrators even though he wasn’t sure of its validity.
“Certainly, there are many indications of a hate crime here. They are looking for two suspects who were apparently wearing Make America Great Again hats, although that has not yet been officially confirmed. There's been no detail description on the suspects,” Almaguer stated.
Almaguer reiterated that Smollett “is in good and stable condition” but, unfortunately, he didn’t have a description at that hour to share with viewers.
He then added: “So, one thing investigators will likely look at is any surveillance video in the area. They have not released any leads on that so far, but clearly, multiple investigators from several different departments at Chicago PD are all working on this.”
To Ruhle’s credit, she made clear to viewers before moving on with the segment to NBC News legal analyst Danny Cevallos: “I’m just looking at our notes. I don't know that NBC has confirmed that they were specifically wearing those hats. I believe it's been reported. I don't believe that NBC's been able to confirm that detail.”

What about the homophobic and racist slurs and the threats the black Israelites were hurling at the Covington Catholic schoolboys? I haven’t heard any fallout on that.
I can’t understand why regular citizens pay any attention to the mainstream
media.
..... Considering 99% of these stories turn out to be improperly reported or staged ..... I’m gonna take a pass on this story until the real facts come out.
I obviously wasn't there, but in certain ways, it sounds too perfect to be true, doesn't it? Like Tawana Brawley's story? We'll see.
Conservatives are attacked all the time but it’s not considered a hate crime. We have a two tier justice system.
So they can take their hate crime and shove it.
False flag operation!
Looks like it’s all the losers have left but for more violent intimidation.
They will fail...
Stepping up to the microphone next are "Reverend" Jesse Jackson and "Reverend" Al Sharpton to add their gravitas to the situation.
People routinely walk around Chicago on frigid nights with MAGA hats, bleach and nooses to attack c-list actors at 2AM.
I’m sure there will be plenty of CCD cam footage of this too. LOL!
The FCC obviously supports the airwave to solicit murder.
Someone yelling “This is MAGA country” in Chicago?? Yeah that sounds reasonable. //sarc
“I’m just looking at our notes. I don’t know that NBC has confirmed that they were specifically wearing those hats. I believe it’s been reported. I don’t believe that NBC’s been able to confirm that detail.”

But if it’s true.......
I really can’t take this crap any more. Let’s just split the country and be done with it. I really don’t want to coexist with the radical left. There’s no way to save this country with the corruption in DC. They have been stealing from us for decades. Why do hundreds of millions of people put up with It? We have to save the country for our children and grandchildren.
My tagline.
Can't come soon enough. I'd even go to a snowy part to get away from these people.
We have to split the country to save it?
This guy makes Hollywood money. It’s below zero in Chicago. If he got the late night munchies, why didn’t he go to his hotel and order room service?
Actually,the local news around metro shitcago, the police, and the victim himself are all denying the particulars of this aga.
That’s what Ive been saying for a while..we need a wall, from COMMIES..they can have one part of the country, they can have their own Supreme Court, Congress, Senate, Presidency, they can have all the open borders, free health care, etc that they want..and on the other half, we can live in peace, free from these commie loons. Let’s not pretend we can co exist with the left, they hate us and we hate them
