Jussie Smollett set hate hoaxes back 50 years with this amateurish hate hoax claiming “white Trump supporters” beat his ass on a below zero night in Chicago and yelled “This is MAGA Country.” Smollett the hoaxster also claimed the “white Trump supporters” poured bleach on him. Now, after the two Nigerian brothers have cooperated with Chicago police, Jussie Smollett is no longer considered a victim, but rather an active participant.
Of course, that softball interview with ABC and Robin Roberts is making ABC and Roberts look even more pathetic. They probably don’t care though. This is the corrupt liberal media today.

“The new direction of the investigation is now based on the premise that Mr. Smollett was an active participant in the incident,” a law enforcement source close to the situation told Deadline today.
“We can confirm that the information received from the individuals questioned by police earlier in the Empire case has in fact shifted the trajectory of the investigation,” a Chicago PD statement late Saturday declared. “We’ve reached out to the Empire cast member’s attorney to request a follow-up interview.”
Lawyers for Smollett have been contacted by law enforcement in the last several hours with a request that the actor resubmit to questioning by detectives, I also hear. In anticipation of such requests, the Empire star has in recent days retained attorneys Victor P. Henderson and Todd Pugh. The Chicago-based lawyers specialize in criminal defense.
Today’s new “trajectory” statement is the first update on the case from the department’s remarks last night that “due to new evidence as a result of today’s interrogations, the individuals questioned by police in the Empire case have now been released without charging and detectives have additional investigative work to complete.”
