Fox entertainment network and ‘Empire’ producers are parsing their words but at this point, I can’t see them keeping him on the show when even many blacks have distanced themselves from him, making Smollett toxic and likely unemployable,even in leftist Hollywood.
Many blacks value their victim status and this clown abused that by clumsily faking a physical assault and attributing it to his “strong opposition to 45” (President Trump). For a black man, you know you’re in trouble when Al Sharpton turns on you.
The attempt to smear Trump with a concocted race-based assault story was stupid and deserves to land Smollett in prison, which is a remote possibility but still possible.
Even if he walks free, his reputation is badly damaged and his career is likely ruined. He’ll get little sympathy here or anywhere else.
Never underestimate the Left’s propensity to forgive even the most disgusting of crimes if done in the service of the ideology..................
