Pelosi Deletes Sympathetic Tweet For Jussie Smollett
dailycaller.com ^ | Kerry Picket

Posted on 02/18/2019 4:32:03 AM PST by RoosterRedux

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi deleted her original tweet sympathetic for “Empire” actor and singer Jussie Smollett amid reports that Smollett may have staged the alleged January 29 attack against himself.

Smollett claimed to law enforcement he went to a local Chicago Subway eatery at 2 a.m., and he was physically assaulted by two men in ski masks who poured a bleach-like substance on him and tied a rope around his neck like a noose.

...

Others have yet to retract their original statements or delete their original tweets, including California Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris and New Jersey Democratic Sen. Corey Booker. Both are running for the Democratic nomination for president.

Booker was asked about the recent developments in the case and would only say he is waiting for more information before he makes any further statements about the matter.

...

According to ABC News, two Nigerian brothers, initially arrested by Chicago Police in connection to the assault against Smollett were later released after telling law enforcement that Smollett paid them to stage the attack.

One of the brothers is Smollett’s personal trainer, according to a statement to ABC News from Smollett’s attorneys. They had decided to cooperate after investigators revealed that they had evidence the brothers had bought the rope that was put around Smollet’s neck at a local hardware store.

“We are in an extreme cold civil war. Expecting the left to ‘betray’ anyone from their side isn’t happening. You’ll find no objectivity in this climate. They’re playing for keeps, to win it all.... we should too.”

Well said.

I’m stealing some of it.

Facts don’t stop collectivists. If they did, they wouldn’t have killed 100 million people.

I have a theory similar to your post. The deep state actors have been taunting pro Trump Americans for the past 2+ years trying to incite violence. It seems we won’t play their game so now they have to invent stories that on first glance appears that pro Trump Americans have started the physical CWII. There was the Barnes case in early Jan 2019 where supposedly a white male in a truck shot the woman and the little girl (who tragically died), the Covington HS boys and now the JS gay actor attack. Every story has been debunked but the left keeps on trying. I have a feeling that they are going to keep up a frantic pace of these false flags (because that is what they truly are...to incite real violence from the left and right), and even though they have been debunked the stories have done their intended damage. The truth is that the hypnotized left remember only the original hit piece. They do not research it because they want to believe the story and continue to play the victim. Right out of the communist/socialist playbook to infiltrate a republic.

“Pelosi Deletes Sympathetic Tweet For Jussie Smollett”

Okay, which staff member is responsible for the virtue signaling?

I can only surmise that Pelosi is probably incapable of using a smartphone. Let alone manage a coherent thought.

Any lie or hoax proven to be such is a truth for them. They will try to convince the masses that even though it may not have happened this still exists today in America and we must combat it.

Well - Piglosi did say she prayed that justice be served for the [alleged] racist, homophobic Jussie Smollett attack.

It sounds as if her prayers are about to be answered.

Justice is about to be served - only not quite in the way Piglosi envisioned!

LOL. Why did she delete it? It may be a lie but in a larger sense, its true!!!!! Trump supporters would do that if they could!!! I drive around at midnight wearing my MAGA hat, with bleach and a noose in my back seat, all the time looking for blacks and gay people to attack.

“There’s a lot of people more concerned about being precisely, factually, and semantically correct than about being morally right” ~ AOC

Therefore, to the Left, those who defended this idiot still did the right thing rushing to judgement to defend him.

You know something stinks when the Tweet is deleted but the hoax did serve its purpose of throwing gasoline on the fire that is our society.

Thus drawing far more attention to her tweet than if she had just left well enough alone.

“There’s so little hate in America, a famous, openly gay black man had to fund his own hate crime using two other black guys.”

Exactly. He is famous and probably makes good money. There are many poor people in our stingy country who cannot afford to fake their own hate crimes. I hope AOC will become a champion for them.
