Two African-American senators with eyes on the White House denounced the attack on Tuesday of "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett, who is black and openly gay, calling it a "modern-day lynching" that necessitates a Congressional response. Smollett was attacked in Chicago by two men who hurled racial and homophobic slurs at him and wrapped a rope around his neck, according to police, who are investigating the act as a hate crime.

This gay black actor is the new Matthew Shepherd; another Noble Lie. At least this time the MSM did not report the false information the suspects were 100% white and shouted MAGA. I am 99.999% sure the thugs were Non-Asian minorities.

Two African-American senators with eyes on the White House...

1. Kamala Harris isn’t African-American.
2. I don’t know WHAT Sparticus is. Whatever you get when you mix self-obsessed fool with asshole.

[jacknhoo]

It wouldn’t be at all surprising if we see a ton of hoax hate crimes involving MAGA hats, leading up to the election. Probably what this was, too.

And when it turns out to be a hoax or the attackers non white - this story will go down the fake legacy news media blackout memory hole.

[blondiegoodbadugly]

Perfect description of the senators.

And when it turns out to be a hoax or the attackers non white - this story will go down the fake legacy news media blackout memory hole.

But by then Democrat-Media Complex has already screamed hundreds of times how racist and violent Trump supporters are, creating the new meme which they will continue to use

The Russian-Collusion slander isn't sticking, so they gotta try something else

[Candor7]

The radical stupid left is barely starting to figure out the US Constitution and why we have a 2nd amendment.

They are caterwauling because Jussie Smollett likely has decided to no longer be a victim, switching to conservative views on right to carry etc.

He was attacked by criminals, likely illegal immigrants , cabron!

And they treated poor Jussie badly with a rope , instead of just slitting his throat?

What a couple of virtue signalling crap-head race mongerers are Booker and Harris ! They would find racism in a cigarette butt.

I hope Jussie packs a .45 cal Colt Commander on his next walk at 2 a.m. in Chicago. This is his wake up call.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Is one of both of Harris’ parents Indian? I thought one of them was Black.

[relee]

I believe she was raised by her Indian (asian) mother in Canada, after divorcing her Jamaican father at a very early age then she returned to America to go to college.

[Former Proud Canadian]

I spend five or six nights a week with one of my white buddies cruising around at 2am with a rope, bleach, and ski masks looking for black people to brutalize. When we catch one we make sure he knows our political predilections.

Seriously, doesn't this sound like a made up story from a cloistered, privileged black homosexual looking for publicity and sympathy? Who does stuff like this?

I'm 100% sure it never happened.

[Maris Crane]

They are consistently unoriginal.

Justice Thomas used this years ago. It rings hollow many years later.

They are SO unoriginal.

[Truth29]

And when it turns out to be a hoax/cover for a homosexual hookup gone bad, the media will ignore or drop the story as if it never existed. A PD spokesperson has already said they cannot confirm the race of the attackers or if they said anything about MAGA America.

The attempted, modern day lynching is what happened to the Covington Catholic boys.

[Califreak]

They didn’t have a thing to say about Ed Buck though, did they?

(spit)

> I’m 100% sure it never happened. <

That’s the way I’d bet. It’s the bleach thing that got me. Who the heck drives around with bleach? Answer: nobody.

"attack on black gay actor an 'attempted modern-day lynching'

Yah, ...and?

What the heck else are you gonna do with a Black Gay guy? Sit around and wait for it to commit suicide? You know it will!

LMFWSPCAO!!!!!!!!

[Mark17]

this story will go down the fake legacy news media blackout memory hole.

Yep, we won’t hear ANYTHING about it, once they determine it’s fake news, and I am 99.99999999% sure, it will be.

Yup. The claim is splattered across the front page. The truth is a small blurb on page 20.
