This guy needs to get some help

He did!

After Americans voted to end the era of incompetent Political OfficeWorkers—0bama swamp & FakeNews couldn’t take Trump down. Now their HateGroup factions are popping up all over—This Fraud tried to exploit the American people. A special place in hell for this sub-human garbage.

If he did, and at least half the country thought that from the beginning, then he belongs behind bars. Faking a hate crime to target a group is a hate crime itself.

You talking about the polar vortex maga country hate crime ?

ANOTHER blatantly misleading attempt to bad name Trump supporters which failed AGAIN! Why the lies? Why constant attacks on Trump or his supporters by msm? What's the agenda? Ask yourself why? You've noticed it happening!Search the TRUTH search Qanon

😂😂😂😂😂 And you’re just figuring this out? Try to keep up! FakeNoose

When is he checking in to rehab

I had this bad feeling at the start. I think 🤔 it’s coming true. If it does it a sad story all the way around. You will have done some serious damage.

Give homey a break. He was just trying to give Black History Month some material.

Once again, just like the rush to judge the Christian school kids on the steps of the Lincoln memorial, the media and leftists and even democrats running for president have jumped to a false conclusion based on a flawed narrative of what they think of people in This country.

Unreal and the news just ran with it.

I never believed there would be two guys in Chicago in MAGA hats, much less with bleach and a rope. 🙄

CPD will do nothing

Back to Russia story

As Americans, we need to ask ourselves why celebrities are placed on royal pedestals? This should be reserved for teachers, doctors, veterans. Instead, we let these heroes get viciously attacked from the right. Why is this? MAGA

If this is proved to be false and Smollett created this for racism purposes he should be punished to the full extent of the law. This kind of shit stirring is not funny nor harmless. Everyone should take note false reporting wont be tolerated. It will lead to more violence.

Liar !!!!!

whyarewestilltalkingaboutthisguy

This is getting kind of fun. January: Covington, February: Smollett... Can't wait to see March's fake racism story that fools every liberal in media. Staying tuned, NBC!👍🏼

There's no 'whether'.

🤢🤮

Its the world we live in today, people want to cry sexual harassment and racism just to get their 5mins of camera time. Its pretty sad and takes away from the people who actually have this happen to them.

Time for NBC to admit nothing and pretend they never heard of the guy.

*Shocker* another liberal staging fake crimes because they can't get legitimate Trump supporters to do the same violent acts as the left will do willingly...

Disgraceful.

A specific group of citizens were the target of this hoax by race and political affiliation. No apology or even retraction yet?

Well if he hired those two guys...... It is staged....

Well DUH!

Meanwhile NBC hasn’t apologize for their smear of the Covington Kids

This, Covington, people are really desperate to see something that isn't there. Maybe to reconcile their own failures? Failing feels better when you convince yourself white people are out to get you.

He's doubling down on a hoax. He's going down.

Whether he did? LOL! NBC, sit down. You guys have shown the world how fake you guys are with your reporting!

What? A made up crisis?

It’s not sources. It’s CPD who says he Staged it.

What?!

So you mean it wasn’t Trump supporters yelling MAGA country? And I almost believed the story fakenews ran

The ‘contract’ was negotiated over state lines, time for the FBI to step in.

Another Dem busted and fakenews bought into it all without corroboration....it's what they do, fail.

Democrat party press office- NBC branch- has to break the news ....

Will the Media ever call this hoax racist? He obviously hates white people.

I can't believe two Nigerian-American brothers helped him for a mere $3,500. They could have been thrown in prison for committing a violent hate crime. Now they'll go to prison for participating in a hoax.

I actually feel sorry for you guys.

Care to comment? CoryBooker KamalaHarris

Shouldn’t your post read “Jussie Smollett’s claim that MAGA Trump supporters attacked him is a hoax. We apologize for the fake propaganda just like we did with Nick Sandmann, MAGA hat kid.”

Sorry I think he made calls on his phone to whoever as hiding the calls to his relatives is a bunch of Bull I just don't believe it

Probably took NBC 10 minutes to grudgingly type out that tweet.

What about the hate crime this bigot committed against a whole race of people? He should be charged accordingly if he committed a crime. Anyone else would be.

'Whether'? The real question, is 'why'?

If he did he needs to be booted off tv and sit in jail JussieSmollett if not then the people that did it need to rot in jail.

It’s called a HOAX, give up trying to make this thing legit

I hope JussieSmollett gets charged with a crime for what he did and loses his job! DontBeAJussie

Ya he did but NBC is still toting the line .....thanks to Twitter for making these Fake News outlets obsolete

Shifted? We knew all along

His story had one too many elements of a hate crime. MAGA hats, the NOOSE, lgbt haters. Unfortunately I didn’t believe this story from the rip but never commented for fear of being accused of being prejudice! If Jusse wanted the attention, he got it!

I don't care... tell me more about how the Universe is ending and what cool new planets Nasa discovered this week

He was acting fishy from the beginning. Sounds like he might have mental problems and hope he gets the help he needs

I believe this deserves comment from you soledadobrien

If racism is supposedly so prevalent in the US why do liberals having to keep making up fake instances of racism? 🤔 🤔 🤔

Lock him up!

Cool. Now do Trump and Putin.

He needs to be arrested for being a bigot

Chicago police arrest two men following alleged attack on actor Jussie Smollett“The alleged victim is being cooperative at this time and continues to be treated as the victim, not a suspect,' police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement. This misleading headline is why people call you fake news You missed a VERY important fact in your headline. Why? Two friends of Jussie's to be accurate. He's friends with them Instagram. Police got the actual phone records but didn't tell Jussie, so when he provided his edited and redacted records, they knew he was lying and what numbers he omitted that were of importance. He's toast.
