Empire TV series star Jussie Smollett says he was beaten up in Chicago by two masked white men who called him a faggot and nigger and tied a noose around his neck ….. but was it all just a publicity stunt?
Jussie Smollett is a star on the Empire TV series. He is a gay man. His mother is black and his father is a Jew – the poor bastard is doubly cursed – and he is an outspoken critic of President Trump.
Late Monday night, Jussie was beaten up on a Chicago street near his home. He described his attackers as two white men wearing ski masks. Jussie says the two men approached him and shouted “Aren't you that faggot Empire nigger?” and proceeded to beat him in the face with their fists. They also poured some kind of chemical substance, possibly bleach, over him. At some point they tied a noose around his neck. Jussie says the men also shouted “MAGA country.”
Jussie still had the noose around his neck when the cops arrived. He checked himself into a hospital.
Chicago police are investigating the beating as a possible hate crime and if it occurred as Jussie tells it, it sure as hell is a hate crime. After reviewing hundreds of hours of surveillance video footage, police investigators did not find any signs of the purported beating. I hope I'm wrong, but I have this gut feeling that the reported attack did not take place and that Jussie’s injuries were self-inflicted as a publicity stunt.
In any event, reaction on social media was swift. Many blamed Trump for the attack on Jussie, accusing the President of dividing the country and inciting racial hatred.
Now that’s absolutely absurd. There were plenty of hate crimes during the Obama administration as there were during the administrations of both Bushes and Bill Clinton. If they’re going to blame Trump for hate crimes, then Obama, the Bushes and Clinton will have to be blamed as well.

The "facts" of this case do NOT pass the smell test.
