This “MAGA hate crime” thing reeks to high heaven.
I’m not saying this man wasn’t attacked. I’m saying a lot doesn’t add up… and there’s clearly a lot we don’t know.
While there is no actual evidence that the crime occurred as reported yet, there is supposedly a “witness.” Jussie Smollet alleges he was on the phone with his manager, Brandon Moore, at the time of the attack.
Moore says he “CLEARLY” heard the “MAGA” comment while on the phone
NEW: @ABC reporting Smollett’s music manager, Brandon Moore, has confirmed a @Variety report that he was on the phone with Smollett during the alleged attack and heard some of the incident.

MORE: Brandon Moore tells @ABC he gave his account to Chicago Police. We are trying to confirm that. Moore also says he heard the words “MAGA country”. He says he heard that “clearly” and heard the racial slur.

Here’s the thing… law enforcement hasn’t been able to verify any of these claims, because Jussie Smollett refuses to turn his phone over to be verified.
NEW: Chicago police CONFIRM Jussie Smollett and his music manager, Brandon Moore, told detectives they were on the phone when Smollett was being attacked.

However, detectives are unable to “independently verify” the call occurred because Smollett refused to turn over his phone.

#JussieSmollett and his manager say they were on the phone during the alleged attack. #ChicagoPolice say Smollett refused to turn over his cell phone to confirm that.

Hmm.
And there’s now video of him before and after the “attack”…
Now to the surveillance camera images/video of Smollett and who police call the “potential persons of interest”.

Detectives used time code from two different cameras to piece together Smollett’s movements when he was near them. On one camera they are seated at a bench. The other camera shows Smollett across the street.

Police say both Smollett and the “persons of interest” walk out of frame (on different cameras). Smollett would reappear on a different camera about a minute later. So basically for about 60 seconds Smollett is not on surveillance camera.
— Rob Elgas (@RobElgasABC7) January 31, 2019
Let me clarify. On one camera the “persons of interest” are seated at a bench. ACROSS the same street, Smollett is seen walking. Smollett is recorded on that different camera walking. The “persons of interest” are also seen walking, but on the other side of the same street.

The next time Smollett is seen on surveillance camera, he is entering a condo building. Police say he now has a rope around his neck and is "wearing it like a neck tie". About a minute (maybe less) has passed since he was seen on video.
— Rob Elgas (@RobElgasABC7) January 31, 2019
Smollett, according to investigators, walks in to the building, walks by building security and gets on an elevator. This video is better quality according to detectives. And what appears to be road salt is on his sweatshirt.

Smollett would go to an acquaintance’s home and that is where police would arrive to take his report.

So the attack happened within a 60 second window, he kept the noose on as he went to a friend’s apartment, and called the police once he was there.
Again… this all seems really strange to me.
If the attack happened it was very quick.
Hmmm who would keep the noose on As offensive as it is?
That’s not suspicious at all. . . . .
It was a quickie.
I’m hazy in my recollection, but I think women who have been raped are often obsessed with changing their clothing and taking a shower. They feel violated and unclean and they want to make the horror go away.
But this guy strolls along with a noose around his neck? Who does that?
“..I’m not saying this man wasn’t attacked. ...”
I am.
To quote the Great Rickie Ricardo... “JUUUUUICY... Ju got some SPLAININ’ to do...”
Noose. There's that word again. According to the police - it was a CLOTHESLINE. And he was wearing it as a necktie. For 45 minutes.
Autoerotic asphyxiation is a game these perverts play.
I don't give a damn, one way or the other.
If the stinking media would quit bombarding every outlet with their damned dumb ass conspiracy theories and the "MAGA = KKK" crap, this kind of lying vile vomit would go away.
The only people that want to keep this going are the LQBGT-whatevers that have an agenda, accompanied by the race-hustlers like Maxipad Waters and that jackass Al Sharpton.
Enough!
I just don't give a damn.
If this guy was conservative, white, a Trump supporter and lied about two black guys attacking him, he would have been exposed as a fraud faster than Michael Moore running towards an all you can eat buffet, but I can imagine the pressure the cops are getting to avoid being tagged as RAYCEST!!!! There are so many holes in this guys story it’s obvious as hell they’re holding back, #1 being the “attackers” saying “This is MAGA country” GET the F OUTTA HERE! That is sooooo so so over the top, ridiculously scripted it sounds like it belongs in an Ed Wood movie! “I’ll get you, you scoundrel!! This is MAGA country!”
If he won’t show the cops his phone, sopeona the records. Then prosecute him for filing a false hate crime report.
Starting to believe this was orchestrated to take the light off the Covington kids lawsuits involving political and celebs....
A lying fgt?
A drama queen does that...
Did he hear “Magga country” clearly? If I heard that, I’m not sure I’d even connect that to MAGA country. Or did he hear “emmay geeyay country?” “Maggay?” “Mahgga?” “Maygay?” “MugGAH?” Exactly how do you pronounce “MAGA?”
The boy who cried “MAGA”.
Following Buzzfeed and Covington it seems the media has not learned anything.
Maybe someone was singing “Maggie May” by Rod Stewart?..................
